I got my bike all put back together. I'm waiting on the deep sump, mirrors, air intake pipes, and a kickstand, all of which are in the mail and should be here...
Should have gone with an German ammo can ... From: brackforce To: thechangjiangexperience@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 01, 2009 11:33 AM Subject: [the...
Chad Your bike looks great! I love the ammo can for the battery! On your wiring, I see your coil is on the side but a plug wire runs to the front like a 6volt....
Hey. That wire isn't running to the front, it's just wrapped around the front of the alternator cover. It does look a little weird in the pic, but it's just...
Ahh I see what you are saying now Chad. The angle did throw me off. I also had looked for an authentic metal German ammo can from WWII but I can only find the...
Hey man, I found some German WW2 .308 cans that would be cool, but I went out and measured out the dimensions and they're too big. They would run into the...
The advantage of Chad's can is that it is modern and well made. WW2 German stuff was not always when it was new, and now it is old. The average person will...
I am with Richard on this. In fact when I was looking for an ammo can the size of Chad's but an actual WWII, I foud American versions and British versions of...
Chad That is hilarious I have the same set of Maltese crosses from that Ebay vendor. I have not put mine on yet. I was thinking of putting one on the ammo box...
Great minds think alike, I guess! How do they look? I was thinking about putting the 4x4 or 3x3 centered on the side of the ammo can and the 2x2 centered...
Too funny. Those crosses are made very very well. I have been hanging onto them until I found just the right spots to mount them. Again we are thiking alike...
Cool, thanks for the info. I'll use the tape for sure and if I decide that a bolt would look good then I'll just cut the head off of one and make it look...
Hey George! Did you get your seal yet? No, I haven't ridden it on post yet for one reason only - the motorcycle safety course. You have to have a motorcycle...
Hi Chad, Yes, I now have the front and rear crank seals, I would have installed the rear one today as I am now starting to reassemble from the bottom...
Man, it sounds like you've been busy! I wish I had the tools and/or the know-how to do some projects of those proportions but, alas, my ammo can battery box...
What I was told to make the deep oil sump even worth your time was to have the extended pickup to be able to reach into the sump deep enough to reach the...
Exactly why I have used the tape. You can not tell they are taped on and with the screw heads glued on it looks authentic. The 4 hour epoxy works great for the...
Chad You have proven you do have the know how. The way you are going eventually there will be nothing you can not do on that bike. It will also be just a...
Regarding the pump extension, some have reasoned that perhaps the oil in the bottom of the sump is cooler and that it may be beneficial to be pumping...
Yea, I've been chugging right along. It seems like there's ALWAYS something that can be done and with my luck I'll have to take it apart again because I...
Thanks for the info. That's by far the most detailed explanation I've seen. Maybe I should try to fabricate an extension of some kind so that I'm not just...
Someone out there was making an extended oil pump for the deeper oil sumps being sold but I can not remember who it was. Someone on here might know. Rob...
If I remember there was a guy out of Canada named Eckard making an extended pump. TL ... oil ... I've ... so ... that low ... the ... to the ... three ... ...
There are different theories on this by the way. I'd lots rather have it exteded but mine with a deep sump is not. The extra oil allows it to keep cooler and...
Hi Tony, The guys name is Eckhardt Schulz, and as far as I know he had made some pumps a number of years ago. I don't remember if their claim to fame...
Richard I have considered getting a deep sump but I am still on the fence about it. I like the cooler oil idea but I hate losing clearence under the bike. I...
So much depends on your operating conditions. If you aren't overheating and boiling your carbs you should be fine. I like as much reserve as I can get and the...
