new street magic tyres arrived, wonder how much worse road riding will be shinko mobber 504 and 505

Anyone know who can convert rims to beadlockers in auckland?

well since bort is bringing a 50cc, I'll be bringing my street magic. Last time my bottom was punished, so this time I will be trying to roll without a pack and strap a bag to the back of the bike. Hepefully it will be more reliable this time and with some knobbly tyres

Is there a list of whos coming and what size bikes they are riding? pretty keen to bring my street magic again, but if its clearly going to be the slowest then would consider my faster more city style scooter

hey guys I have a couple of 2 wire DC motors I want to get plugs for, so they can be removed easily. I have tried bullet connectors but they just arent up to the task, and this isnt being fitted into a car so not really suitable. Whats the next step up in plugs, something screw together? Its for 24V 15A

black bumpers looks way more legit

will likely be bringing my street magic again

its just all over the place, carburettor is pretty well isolated, but still getting alot of corrosion, may be because of poor material quality, or could be all the shit coming off the road

sweet will look into it, you guys get aerosol cans or a spray bottle?

Got a couple of scooters that live outside in the rain, they keep getting that white powdery stuff covering all of the aluminium parts like carburettors and engine casings. Whats a decent way to stop that from occuring, doesnt look like they would last more than a few years without any sort of protection. There is no way to stop them getting wet

Is 22 devices on a WiFi router heaps? I just thought it related back to the amount of addresses it could give out in total? So 255 would be max? I’m not a computer expert at all but that’s what I figured. I have had problems logging onto WiFi at some sites recently and I thought they had run out of addresses, but maybe that isn’t the case? Also, would an industrial network system have the same issues?

It’s a “50cc”, so it’s road legal always

you need to pull everything apart, then you will realise how easy it all is compared to anything car related

I have some surface rust under the front gaurds on my escort, I have removed the underseal where it is not super adhered to the steel any more as where it is still stuck the metal is good underneath it. I have put some crc rust converter on the areas but want to either brush on 2 pot or brush on underseal on the area. The area is probably 70% old underseal still in reasonable nick (and really hard to remove, and why would I remove good underseal), and the other 30% is where the rusty bits were. What do you guys reckon I should do? 2 pot paint the various areas? paint everything including the old underseal? underseal the bare bits?

It will be max about 40W, but mostly I need to convert it from 14V regulated AC to DC

I just need a H8 plug from zebra and I will try solder everything together tomorrow, then it can be plug in to the existing stuff

I've got these components so I'll try this for now, can try that method after if it doesnt work

ok its gone

yeah should be able to. it does the same thing as I am trying to do?

Becuase I don’t know any better and am just following this YouTube video

somewhat related to this thread, I have 3 electrical components I need to solder together and fit into my motorbike. The area they are going is not guaranteed to be water proof and there will be lots of vibration. What are some tips for keeping everything alive and working? silicone over bear metal connections, or heatshrink? can I silicone the bridge rectifier to the capacitor? I think everything is oversized and wont spend its whole life at peak temperature. There isnt enough room to put them in a watertight box

whats the local brew on the chathams?

I'm sure it will, I fussed around for ages before cutting the threaded rod, and it worked out fine. And make sure you get some flash hose from brake reservoirs to master cylinders, I bought some stuff that was supposed to be good, and it was bleeding brake fluid within a few days, had to get some really hard stuff, and now 3 years later that also slowly bleeds/sweats brake fluid

Hey, I have made a bias pedal box too, but not yet certed it. I understand, but could be wrong, that you need a rubber/grippy surface for the brake pedal due to possibility of slipping. I know race cars dont need this/typically dont have it, I also dont currently have a grippy surface, but have definitely slipped a couple times. Might just be worth something considering rad looking setup though!

ok next one, M10x1 male into a 1/8bspt hole. jam it in or tap it first? Got 2 temp sensors to fit into a 1/bspt thread, so was thinking of using a 1/8 nipple, then a 1/8 Tee to fit one sensor, then fit the other m10x1 into the other port
