You're going to incur the wrath of our patriotic gammon @Sir Fallsalot The country as a place is fine and even the climate is just about tolerable. It’s the pond life that inhabit it and seem to be spreading like a disease that I have an issue with. A perfect example is the able-bodied bloke that just went past on a mobility scooter as proud as anything. Parked outside a shop and leapt off it like an athlete. Fucking oxygen thief. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone's got a shit life how would they have the dosh to run away to Spain and get themselves set up here?

DesmoDog Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 For various reasons I decided to remove the airbox on my trackbike and go with pod filters instead. That means I'd have to bend up a few plates to mount the coils and battery. A couple hours work once I went out and got the material and then figured out how/where to cut and bend it. But wait! How about using the 3D printer? Should only take a couple hours to draw something up and get it printing. And it did. For the first part. But the first part is never good enough. Long story short I've been doing numerous parts for the past few days and have ended up here. The demo part to prove the concept. Trash material, mock up only, not intended for actual use. The demo was sturdier than I expected, so I went further with it. Here's the modrl of the updated "final" design, awaiting details to hold the battery down. Can't do those until I put my Super Light away for the year and pull it's battery to use for mock up. That may happen today? So yeah, 3D printing parts that could be simple sheets of aluminum is what's been taking up way too much time today. And yesterday. And a day or two before that. Well, that and getting strapped down to a back board... I'm also doing medical training to be a ski patrol, and have been put on a back board about six times in the past few days. Fun times, fun times... the bitch of that is, it's only training to pass a test for certification - we don't actually use backboards in this county! Gotta know how to do it to be certified. Not done where I'll be patrolling. Alrighty then. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have them on my Super Light too, but also have a set of stock carbs under the bench for when I've finally had enough of their BS. Cold starts are an absolute bitch with them. I know it can be improved but fer cripe sakes a choke circuit would be nice. On a street bike anyway. They're easier to deal with on a track bike because you expect to be fiddling with one of those all the time. All that said, the way they "chirp" in use is kind of endearing, especially on a bike as unrefined as a 900ss... fits the character of the bike to a "T". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a nice bank of four on a Suzuki XR69 that my boss rode a couple of times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
