progress continues. I received my timing belts in the mail and promptly reassembled the front end. They look good enough quality, but yes they are made in china. oh well, next time i'll know better. bar end mirrors also are here and installed. most importantly though, I got my title back stamped. however, much to my chagrin, my friend forgot to sign it when she stamped it, so i'll be mailing it back for round 2.
for the turn signals, what I can figure is that I need about a 25 watt load resistor wired in parallel with each light. Resistance will be low, probably only 1 to 8 Ohms. I need to fool the flasher into thinking that the 23W incandescent bulbs are still in place. something like this bad boy
http://www.ebay.com/itm/25W-1-ohm-1R-Al ... 41626e18e9. or should I get 50 watt to simulate having the front and rear connected to use with the stock flasher?
I was also looking around on the internets and found a few mini mechanical speedometers for under $50. I just don't know what the ratio for the stock speedo is. I read somewhere that it is 2240 rpm to 60 mph. - this one is 2:1 - and for accuracy's sake and functions (but mostly price), I might still just get the bike computer.
After reassembling the engine parts and refilling the oil, I fired the bike up shortly before breaking the wire lead that goes into the starter, so now I'll be tearing that apart sooner than I wanted.
I also painted some more stuff and wrapped the seat. It turned out really well and I like the shape a lot. should be comfortable. It feels like it is contoured well for the position I will be riding.
oh, and sadly no crazy replies from craigslist yet.
