Thanks Gordo

G’day Dave. If I still have it it’s yours. I’ll have a look in the next couple of days

Andy's Motorcycle Obsessions thanks mate.

I found it, it's yours if you want it. Go to my Facebook page and send me a PM if you still want it, cheers Andy. facebook.com/AndysMotorcycleObsessions/

It is a XS11 top yoke with the handlebar mounts ground off and polished. The knob screws onto the steering stem and I can’t recall where I got it from. It was probably eBay but it could also have been Dime City Cycles. It is a dummy steering damper.

G'day mate, I never got the tach working well on the acewell. It didn't work when connected to the factory tach wire so it was connected by wrapping the wire around one of the sparkplug leads, not great if I'm honest.

Ok. Good to know. Thanks :)

Just one more question: does the tach work fine on the Legendary speedo straight from the original wire? You're still happy with it?

Yes mate, it does work from the original tach wire as I mentioned in the video. And yes I am still happy with it, very happy. BUT...they are not really what I would call "waterproof". Even if you follow my waterproofing procedure they are really only water resistant. So if you ride in the rain alot I would probably avoid them.

Thanks for answering :)

I can’t find anything about how to reset the “home” position for the stepper motors. My advice would be to go to the Speedhut website, that’s who actually makes these gauges, and send them an email. If it were me, I would open it up, remove the needles, and zero the gauges and then press the needles on in the zero position.

It was suppose to be, but it wasn't. Watch this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orKnpLp7yJ2Yh58.html

G'day Joshua, I just troll eBay and Google. I type in what I'm looking for and then start trolling. Things like handlebars I would just use "clip on bars 37mm" in an eBay search, for example. Thanks for watching, and enjoy your build and make it your own, Andy

I left it as is, it needs to be able to breathe. All I did was waterproof the front, I did a speedo update video about it.

I have had a look and I can’t find it sorry. Any laser cutter business will be able to put it together for you from a sketch. I deleted AutoDesk from my computer to free up space, otherwise I would draw a new one for you.

Thanks!

+marty vreede G'day Marty, thanks for tuning in. To answer your question, yes. In my case I never knew as I never rode the bike with a functioning tachometer, the Acewell one was crap. I ended up asking friends with XS11's and in the end the magic number was 6, Andy

sweet... love the bike btw

Thanks mate

i notice that you have your clip-ons under your top triple clamp, how aggressive is the feel of the riding position?

+marty vreede it's pretty bloody comfortable if I'm honest, but my seat is about 4" lower than a standard XS. In fact I recently slid them further down the stanchions but went too far. Currently they're about 3/4" below the top clamp and it feels good. Having said that, I destroyed my left shoulder in a dirt bike accident, and are most comfortable with my shoulder forward loaded. It becomes uncomfortable in an upright seating position. Andy

Happy so far. The only thing I am wary of is that SpeedHut state that their units are not water proof, there is no mention of that with these. I am going to put a dollop of silicon sealer over the GPS antennae connectionand where the wires enter the unit, just to be safe.

Andy's Motorcycle Obsessions Yes, I need to do the same. I also still need to get my rpm's figured out. I'm still trying to get the bike to stop blowing main fuses so I haven't had a chance to get a good ride in yet.

Ryan I have had to dismantle this gauge, and a Speedhut volt gauge that I subsequently installed. Legendary Cycles had neglected to seal the unit and when I washed the bike the lens fogged up and the LCD screen ceased functioning. Thankfully it dried out and self healed. What I have done is I unscrewed the bezel, removed the lens and the plastic spacer ring between the lens and the gauge face. I ran a bead of NEUTRAL CURE silicone around the outside edge of the spacer ring and pushed it back into the gauge. I wiped away most of the excess silicone and pressed the lens back on, making sure it was sealed with silicone against the spacer. I then screwed the bezel back on. I was caught in heavy rain tonight and had zero issues with water ingress, so I'm calling that a success. Just be sure to use a neutral cure so that acid can't damage the gauge and don't fill the holes in the back, that way the gauge can breath and dry out if it gets moisture in it. Andy

Thanks for the update! I'll definitely take your advice. I sent you a picture of my bike on Facebook, did you get it?

Hi Iain, thanks for the comments. It depends where in the world you live. Mine was delivered ex USA for about $500 AUD, Andy

G'day mate, thanks for tuning in. It wouldn't have been my first choice, it came along at the right time and price. Having said that I am happy that it did. I love it because it makes great power and is a ton of fun to ride. A lot of Cafe Racers I have seen are small capacity bikes that don't perform as well as this. So for me it's about the riding experience, thanks again. Andy

Their is one up here on the gold coast as a project cafe racer see you are down in Tassie we use to live in dowsing point at the army base

G'day Cristobal, thanks for watching. The Tachometer is a Hybrid "Stepper Motor" and it is controlled by a Stepper Motor Controller. The stepper motor controller only requires a pulse input from the bike's ignition and it converts it to an out put for the motor. I don't think I can explain it properly here, watch this video, it should explain it for you. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9-hqq-a1N2-mYk.html

well yeah i know how a stepper motor works is juts that i can figure out how to connect the tachometer cable o a stepper motor hahahaha. for one is analog... well im talking my bike tho.. its a 83 Honda GL500 ...

I think you can wind a wire around the number one spark plug lead, that will induce a signal. Either that or one side of the primary coil. I can't find the wiring diagram any more, must have tossed it.

well thanks!! i'll try to figure it out!! awesome channel!!

Thanks mate. I found the instructions on line here www.speedhut.com/instructions/gps_dual_tach.pdf

+Robert K thank you mate
