Last night I started working on the pile of stuff to do before the bike is ready to go for a ride, the job on top of that pile happened to be the dashboard.
The uppermost contact is a Neutrik contact for an external ignition, it has four leads so I can route 12V from the bike to the ignition module in two of them and use the other pair for the spark. Below it is a spring loaded button for the propane preheat solenoid, then you see the fuel pump switch and the switch for all three oil pumps with a safely cap so I don´t accidentally turn the pumps off.
Both fuel pump and the oil pumps will get their juice through separate 30A relays to avoid a switch failure like last time.
With that done I fitted the PWM-module to the air box.
Up next was the power turbine rev counter, the idea was to fit a magnet to the gearbox output shaft where the front sprocket is and have a inductive probe read the revs from it.
Here a neodymium magnet is fitted, now I need a bracket for the probe.
That´ll do!
Probe fitted and eagerly awaiting some revs to measure!
Of course I had to fit the actual rev counter somewhere as well, I was about to make a fancy box for it but figured nahhhh and used a cat-strangler (local name for zip-ties) instead. Eventually I need to shield it from salt and water so I´ll probably make some sort of box for it later.
The clock showed well past midnight so before calling it a night I fitted a row of relays to the back of the seat, that was the only place where I could fit them and have the bundle of cables below them out of the way.
Cheers!
