Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted April 2, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted April 2, 2014 David and Leon are both correct, it connects of the bottom of part number 16 (which I am sure you have replaced with a NOS energy drink can or some such coolness) where the arrow points outward...

Haha. Great thanks. And its not a NOS bottle unfortunately. The cool store was clear out of those. So I had to use another old Honda res from my Ruckus build. Drats.

No matter.... Just 24 hours right? (Argh!) Anyhow, was forwarded this feature. A lot of awesome stuff coming from these guys if anyone is interested in old German and Japanese alloy.

Member Contributer paladinreed Posted April 3, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 3, 2014 Good news, it's beautiful. Bad news, it doesnt fit. Needs to be re-lipped. Trying to work out where the disconnect between myself and the builder happened. Looks like it will be a few more weeks until I can mount it but no matter it wasnt going on until the final stage of finishing anyhow. Feeling a little low about this but hopefully it will work out with no issues. . Hope to have another update this weekend. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer paladinreed Posted April 4, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 4, 2014 Negative. It's mounted properly. It's a final offset issue. Meaning there is too much low/negative offset pushing the wheel too far out (toward us) this can be fixed with different sized lips on the front and back. I'm waiting to hear from him about how they calculated the final offset. The stock vfr 17x5.5 et 19 according to my research So I calculated this wheel to be built 17x6 et14 to more or less keep the same offset as the stock wheel Something got mucked up in between. What are you hitting? Not hitting anything, just wrong lip sizing and offset :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a more realistic note, the Offset looks right, but it looks like your builder put the centre in back to front ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tire is on proper and the face is mounted correctly haha. The front of the face has a threaded hub for the centercap and recessed for lug bolts/studs for the cap to clear. The wheel is going back out to him today. Should be a quick turn around. He is going to raise the offset by downsizing the front lip and upsize the back lip by 1 inch respectively As such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vfrAustin Posted April 4, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted April 4, 2014 I see, said the blind man. You must be itching to ride that thing. Give it all a good once over before heading out. Hope the wheel gets sorted soon. Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer paladinreed Posted April 9, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 9, 2014 Had never cleaned the bike with any sort of determination since the purchase and decided to take advantage of a beautiful day. Thought everybody might enjoy some pics. It cleaned up pretty well for the first time through. Decided that in the end the frame, swinger, and sub will all be black. Shot a coat of black onto the bare metal to keep the surface from beginning to rust. Then had to mock it all together. Also shot my oil cooler in some radiator paint satin black. Getting close to the first ride but I still have to work with the harness a bit more, find a good place for the RR and mount the battery. Then it can go off for exhaust.

Member Contributer paladinreed Posted April 14, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 14, 2014 Unfortunately no real update. School has been kicking my butt and my wife says I need to get my priorities straight because apparently I need to graduate or something. With that said, here is a mounted pic to get us by. Thats not me, but my dad threw a leg over it and so I took his pic. Im about 3 inches taller than he is and I think it looks awesome with him atop it so I shouldnt have any problems with the ride/tail height etc. Hope to have a better update this weekend.

Member Contributer paladinreed Posted April 15, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 15, 2014 Thought I'd defy my responsibilities for a few more hours tonight. Tinkered here and there but ultimately got the wild hair to try and fire the bike up... This ended in folly after I added fluids (fuel coolant oil: have yet to fill and bleed clutch or brake), hooked up the tip sensor, ignition, rr, battery, and ecm. Gave her the key, fuel pumped primed and starter rely clicked, bike lugged a couple of times but seemed like dead battery. Tried a couple more pushes of the starter switch to the same response. Decided to stop and think for a sec, and saw a little puff of smoke down but the hharness. disconnected everything and found this. Green and lavender wire. Doesnt look burnt just worn almost through. It goes to the black connector on the ecm. decided I was conquered for the day... *facepalm* Other news... spoke to a guy today about vinyl wrapping the tank and tail. This is a sneak peek at the color. Its the darker of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer paladinreed Posted April 15, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 15, 2014 Made necessary repair to the exposed wire. I'm popping the 10a starter fuse every time I try to turn it over. Thoughts? Currently just have the battery ground on a random bolt on the frame and the large 4 wire ground on a bolt on the swinger. My temporary locations a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Swingarm ground is a bad idea. You're trying to ground through the bearings at that point. Put it to the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
