This morning, the first day of two weeks off work, not really a holiday but okay, got out of bed at six and turned on the heating. First I fixed the handlebar heater of my wife’s bike, throttle side got loose. After that I’ve decided to take a look at the rapidbike evo that was lying around. Had a bit of an argument with the fuel hose but I convinced it to let go of the tank. So today I’ve mounted the rapidbike module, organised the wiring I’ve stuffed underneath the tank and installed the new controller for my handlebar heating. Tested if the bike would run and it did, I’m very glad. Tried to install the tuning software to my laptop, I failed, my laptop sucks a lot. I’ll have my way with it tomorrow with some pliers and a blowtorch, oh yeah baby, burn you unwillingly piece of shit.
Tomorrow I’ll try to run the software on a different machine and hook it up to the bike. I really want to take of the rpm limiter.
How much does all that lot weigh?! I admire you’re enthusiasm but surely an approach in aluminium is way better for weight and therefore the handling of your bike? Personally I’d explore a system made from aluminium and nylon webbing.
Frame & wheel, 15kilo. I’m not afraid of the handling. Just gonna use it for holiday and even that isn’t sure. If so, won’t be carrying anything heavy. Tent, sleeping bags, some clothes and shoes. Lightweight chairs, small fuel stove ans some bits and pieces. It’s not as I’d be moving my vault or what you’d call it.
With aluminium I wouldn't worry about welding the assembly.
Far better to just bolt the sections together, that's what I did when making a frame for a table using 30x30x3 and 50x50x3 a few years back.
Using bolts and butterfly nuts means I can take the whole thing apart in minutes for transportation.
That safe came from a distillery that was founded in 18xx something. The inner box has a lock that was renewed in 1895. It’s old and I have just one key. I bought another safe just to hold that one key.
I’ll just do that, do that with what I have. I was not happy with the height at the back so I sawed it in two and made an angle.
Now it’s resting on the back of the wheel, gonna fix that tomorrow.
It’s just fun building this shit. It’s raining so nothing better to do.
I’m happy with the result. This one replaces the osco oiler, I use to be an very enthused oiler. Now it’s automated so no more greased back and helmet.
Google translate says "Trailer behind motor self-construction"
but i think the English word is probably "Contraption" (just kidding ).. maybe just "bike trailer" (motorfiets aanhangwagen?)
looks like it works really well and doesn't hinder bike turning at all!
