Hi Trev. Yes, I will be putting some rubber bump stops on to prevent it colliding. I was more worried that the angle of lock (about 45 degrees) would be enough.

looking again what about handle bars hitting the tank??
going to fit risers to bring them above  Pah! Which then clobbered the tank. So the tank has been moved back a bit now. The 7/8 CDS tube seems plenty strong enough, going to bend up the bars today and fit them, then I gan have a good rive at them and see if they flex. Also started laying out the dash on the PC last night. We are stripping out the gubbins of various clocks and remounting them all behind a single sheet of clear plastic. A printed front will stick to that with the LEDS for illumination behind, shining through the white parts of the printing. We are following some of the ideas in this link: http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-LED-Tachomter-RPM-gauge/ |

Did a lot of electronics in the past Merv (3 years running international amateur TV champion!) So that holds no fear for me |

Yep. Old timer now - G8LIR - got my licence in 1972 only 14 at the time! Did loads of ATV back in the day. All home brew gear including the receivers. And a pair of 4CX250's with 2KV on the anodes in the transmitter to a set of 4 x 40? element yagis fed with Andrews LDF450 coax. Happy days. Are You ? |

Hi Terry - Cheers. I Fiddled about with the springs a bit, more steep and they didnt compress, I bought 750 Lb/sq inch, probably too much with having 2. I;ll see how it behaves on the road then fiddle Yes, the steering stops. I did wonder about welding something to the headstock as the "bumps" are still on the bottom yoke. Ive no idea which approach is best though. |

Spent hours with Will today bending a nice set of swoopy barsgot them up the the risers and was not happy at all with them. Then we relooked at the bars we decided not to use, and they look fine on the risers. Ah well, live and learn hey!

I've made & re-made parts for my truck 2 or 3 times. Despite all our plans & measurements & sketches, or even computer designs, sometimes you just need to make bits & try them to see if they're gonna work or not.
