No, the top end was bought from Clive on the board. Top end was done many years ago, he couldn't finish the project so sold everything off....... :eh:

Sorry I missed that! Funny how brand new chambers are like brand new guitar strings... a little ringy. I hope you guys re-oiled the head pipes for its trip to Alabama.

I just remembered today that when I delivered the bike to Mark, I wanted to show him the "lighting system" so had a 12 volt battery with jumper leads to the power wire. The bike didn't have exhaust, so we didn't want to start it...hence the battery.

The main power wire should be hanging down below the tank. There is a male and female bullet connector probably currently disconnected. Plug it in, and all should be well.

Report back.


and report back when you ride it!!!

They found those wires Cody, and the instrument had juice but didn't work.

I saw no head/tail light in the video?

When the bike is running, everything should have 12v power...including the gauge. Never had even a minor issue with anything not working as designed (except for RF interference on tach) once power was delivered.


Something is not hooked up correctly, or something has been disconnected.
