Re: Maz's FZ750 Project
The new indicators (turn signals) and rear light unit I've chosen are LEDs so I've also had to order some load resistors so the indicators will flash at the right speed - once I've figured it all out I'll post a spec sheet and wiring diagram in case anyone else wants to do the same....

Re: Maz's FZ750 Project
Ya know , I do wish The damn BBC would stop running that public service ad about how drivers should look out for bikers !
You know the one I mean , where the bikes got this huge peacocks fan of blinking lights sticking up behind the rider as they go down the road !
It aint that I disagree with the notion that cagers should be more alert to whats going on around them , its just I fear some faceless , unelected "safety concious " beaurocrat will see it and decide that those light displays would be just the thing to require as standard equipment on all bikes in the name of "safety"

There is no seperate dungeon at my new workshop.....but having said that, anywhere the Biker Mistress happens to be would count as a dungeon.....
Unfortunately there has been no progress on my FZ750 project recently due to the amount of work involved in setting up the new workshop....I now have several customer's projects in the shop as well as a showroom full of learner bikes....but the FZ is still on the "urgent" list and I'll be getting back into it soon

Re: Maz's FZ750 Project
Well I've been too busy working to post much lately, there are several projects underway in my shop including a trike for my little sister and a "wall-of-death" bike for a local guy...I'll be posting some build reports very soon.....
Meanwhile there are lots of little projects going on - I've just shipped out some trick Z-bars and here's some pics of a set of T-bars I'm doing....
Milling the uprights (I don't use a notcher...)
The parts ready for assembly
And mocked up for checking prior to welding...
A fairly straigthforward job but quite fun to do....
