VTR fighter

Post by caferacerdan »

My Storm Fighter! made all the brackets myself and done all the wiring. Its not as good as some build but I love it and I think its so much nicer to ride than faired one with clip ons as this started life as!

What clocks are they fella and do all the functions work and was it easy to wire up?
I'm building a fighter and like the look of those over the standard storm clocks

Looking good mate :thumbup:

Cheers folks :)

Iv seen your build Duffy and been tempted to put 954 forks on mine!

The clocks are actualy cheap chinese ones for £35

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MPH-KMH-Tire- ... 2eca2cf233

So far I have wired them all up and they seem to work well! the speedo reads accurately (the 10 miles iv done with the clocks on anyway) the rev counter works and the signals work, There is no Neutral light but there is a 'P'ark light so I wired that as the Neutral which works fine! Il be doing a run to Raven Cafe on Thursday for bike night if all goes to plan so I can let you know how well the clocks work fully after that :)

After a brief test of the clocks.

The speedo reads perfect! really accurate! however they max at 120mph (iv been told as I didnt test it :p)

The rev counter seems to be a bit faulty but the seller is helping me work this out as it might just be my shoddy wiring/setup!

All my lights however work well! Didnt do enough miles for fuel guage to test though :/

Cheers for the feed back, I may need different ones if they only go up to 120mph :lol: :lol: :lol:

Only for use on private roads though :thumbup:
