Project Hyosung : Part 2

Image
 Okay, so the new loom worked great [see the previous post] and is now all wrapped and refitted, I have removed the ignition and replaced it with a simple on/off switch And as you can  see fitted some clip-ons, just a cheap set from AliExpress  You can see the item here  [possibly]. 51MM is the required size, and they fit really nicely. The only issue I have is the master cylinder in relation to the clip-on mount is forcing there to be only one angle for the lever which is not going to be ideal.  So I have ordered a new master cylinder with a remote reservoir.  They clear the tank fine but the lock does seem a bit extreme so I think I will fit some lock stops to reduce that a little.   But all that's for another day. I also got a really cheap tail can this week. $120! From Custom Chambers in East Tamaki Yeah, this will be a Chinese knock of SC, not the real thing and I am sure I could have got it from AliExpress for less .. and may yet order some...

Project Hyosung : So It Begins

Image
A friend of mine had a Hyosung 250 that had failed its WOF, Failed on having non-standard brakes and brake lines.  So the only way to get a WOF is to put the brakes back to stock which is not really financially viable so I have managed to acquire it for a box of beer. and why would I want that? well, I reckon it will make a fun track-day bike... so this series of posts will be about this journey. Step One - Take it apart  Well as a road bike it has a lot of stuff we just don't need for the track...  This stuff  So now it looks like this... And I might have pulled the wiring loom apart ...  And I might have removed some wires...   hopefully it will still go ...  time will tell I suppose... see the next post
