Whoo hoo! I came home from shopping with my wife (AKA Umbrella Girl Lisa) and I had goodies in the mail box! First, a VERY nice present from Willie and Sheri:
Yes, that is a Beull XB9 throttle body with injectors and TPS. This will make getting the EFI working much easier. All we have to do is lop one side off the manifold, fabricate a mount, re-do the fuel rail and find someplace to mount a air-temp sensor, and we are half-way to EFI!
Speaking of EFI, this was the other thing that came:
Originally one of my friends was going to assemble a MegaSquirt board for me. Unfortunatly, he like needed to get a job, and moved the the land of Mooses and hockey and was not going to get to the project for awhile. I sent the kits back, and in return for a small stack of cash, they sent me the much smaller Micro Squirt. In hindsight, I probably should have went this way in the first place.
On Friday I picked up the underseat tray from Schmeer Sheet Metal Works. Cederick did a good job, and I did a little fitting and drilling last night, and finished it up this morning.
I hammer-formed the edge over the round tube of the rear subframe with my trusty rubber mallet.
I made the cut-out for the latch with a drill-press and sabre saw with metal cutting blade. The cold rolled steel cut easier than I expected. I then used the ball end of a ball-peen to form the cutout down a little.
Eventually the bike will be lowered and the tray will be much closer to the tire.
Of course, I had to run right out and see how the MicroSquirt look in the underseat tray.
Finally I feel like I'm getting a little done!
