T500 Repli-Racer Update
Posted: Wed May 25, 2016 10:29 am
I made some updates to the Repli-Racer in preparation for showing the bike at Fuel Cleveland custom bike show on 28-May-2016. Main changes were replacing the race bike only wiring harness (3 wires) with a modified stock harness so I would have functional headlight, brake light, horn, and charging system. I also replaced the seat with a diamond stitched pad, powder coated the gas cap, side stand, kickstarter, and horn in silver flake, and re-coated the expansion chambers with Chromex (aluminum-ceramic). The bike is now ready for the show.
Got the bike titled, plated and insured (I've learned I can claim ownership here in Michigan on a bike that has no title). I rode it last night for the first time in 4 years. The bike still has the race motor in it as I am still building up the street motor, so it doesn't have much power down low in the revs, but when it gets on the pipe...excitement!
