Control box almost complete, almost as I couldn't find any 6 pin plugs like the other ones I used locally so they'll have to go on later, I'll just stuff a grommet in the hole for now.

This houses the ECU, Battery, a little servo trickery and a whole nest of wires.

Ended up being a lot bigger than I imagined it to be as the die-cast boxes jump from just a tiny bit too small to way to big.

I ended up placing it directly over the turbine for a couple of reasons being that if the turbine decides to let go it has another barrier to get through before it hits the rider, also it helps protect the turbine if I fall off.

Nearly done!

Redesigned the remote to be smaller and simpler.

Finally have the pump assembly together, this fits inside the a cavity in one end of the fuel tank

Fuel Pump, Solenoids and Filters for both Fuel and Propane start.

I had zero luck trying to find a good set of rims that weren't past it with rust so I bought this bike just for the wheels, Felix picked it up for me in CHCH and he reckoned it was too good to tear down so I decided to get the whole bike shipped to Akl which ended up being the right thing to do..

Thanks to the help of Felix and the good chaps at Mainfreight for the shipping, this wee baby turned up at work.

I think I've accumulated 6 frames now, so I hope to get the other 3 up and running for the family beach house, I'll keep this one up to spec so I can go for a ride iith the kids and totally knacker them out!

Annoying kids? no problem!, just flick a switch and blast away with Acme Jet Cruiser...

Starting to put it together now, knew i should have gone slightly larger with the stainless tube as it took 3 hours to feed the pipes and wires through with a lot of silicone.

Loosely mounted on the frame for the first time, starting on the control solenoid mounts and filters in the fuel tank.

Managed to keep it to still just a single bolt to attach/detach,

Thought it was worth mentioning that the Mexicali guys refused the complimentary drink with meals , he said there wasn't enough people eating there to be worth it for him. Might be time to remove the offer from the OS page?

all you need now is some wire and one of these

Use an electric fence, set up a camera, fun veiwing

You get cheaper Wof's being an AA member too

I hope to be there in Healing fashion.

Not the crystal type, or sexual... unless (complete this sentence)....

I'm hoarding one of those in a similar state, awaiting inspiration.. following

i need to complete the caravan

Bit more progress, ball rolling in the fabrication department thanks to a fellow OSer.

Ok, "over 11" is what the brain meant but didn't communicate to the outside world.

Is that because they're not standard or have the rules changed?  hope not

It has 7000kg of optional extras which will keep it under the required 11 seconds, no matter what you put in it

Right impress i was, Riiiiight impress

Just to add to this a+ writeup..

If you don't have a voltmeter or don't want to spend the coin on one..get a test lamp

and if you can find a test lamp, use your tongue.

See you again next month it seems.

Thanks for a great night.

You guys are so choice.

So many firsts.

You made a little boy happy.

He'll sleep well tonight lads.

Nice impromptu beersies and shedsies!

20" Rims for these cruisers, can you buy new rims on their own?  All the ones I have are rusty inside and out and make me a bit concerned they might puncture.

Apart from that it's still full steam ahead.

This weekend at Matakana

Damn I was in hamilton on Sunday and didn't see this until now, see any suzuki AC50 stuff?

Hey Rusti, is it one of these?

I have this one and don't use it apart from shocking unsuspecting victims, yours if you want.
