might make a sunburnt skunk

[Guest]

this black/white skunks been lurking around my shed awhile so i think its time to clean it up
a colour change might be in order i reckon red/whites the go



done a few miles !



but not in bad nick for its age

[ozman]

couple of hours later now to see what surprizes the po has left for me




umm this ugly grab rail is headed for the scrap




seat base not bad just needs powdercoat and new cover, ill order 1 of them





umm ok what have we here !! wired into the coil wires never seen this done before

[ozman]

new paintjob ready to go its handy having plenty of spares ...

[steve murdoch]

I have spares but they sure don't look like that.
What do you suppose the coil mod is about? A replacemant for resistor cap plugs?

[ozman]

well atleast he kept up the airfilter looks new nice and white



this would be the nicest job ive seen done to let more air into the airbox, the mesh must be to keep out bats and birds !!
the other airbox on right is what i usually find, bigass hole gouged into bottom of box



where im up to so far

[blackhammer]

Good to see your getting some spare time to get stuck in mate..

That red looks very nice indeed!

another weird bit of dodgey work i found today.... how can you bodge up a indicator !!!!

like this

they never cease to amaze me.



obviously he lost the plastic bits that push into the end of the indicators so made steel sleeves to tighten up the signals
i just found 2 of the right bits from old broken signals.....

I suspect it is a resistor. Is it on the 12+ve line? They look like 3ohm coils to me (usually beige where as the 5ohm ones are usually black).
I suspect they put a resistor on them effectively turning the 3ohm into 5ohm so they didn't burn the points.... (in practice I reckon the stock Suzuki points can handle the 3ohm anyway).

Maybe for radio noise suppression?
