    Build Tunes

    Wow. The Henry Mancini grabbed me the most. I remember watching Peter Gunn on a black and white TV. Ramsey Lewis Trio and the guys who did Hang Em High and Green Onions etc. Mom and Dad were Mancini fans. I liked him but there were a few others. Be Well, SS.

    Old Ford/GP tail lights? What to build?

    I don't think you have to worry about the voltage difference with 12V car compared to 18 volts in two small batteries as these. The LEDs I was told are a form of control of the power. So they light up in the process of controlling the voltage. They do make for a bright light. I will have to...

    Old Ford/GP tail lights? What to build?

    Got the old Ford GP lights in the mail yesterday. Changed out the conventional bulbs to LED bulbs. The 5007 bulbs were available in LED form and so was the 1157, changed to 1157R for the tail lights. Took two Duracel 9 V batteries and snapped them together one positive to one negative. (one...

    WWII Jeep tribute/Ratty bike.

    I got the tail lights in the mail yesterday. I'm going to have to replace the bulbs with LED bulbs. I'm pretty sure I have seen them at the auto parts. Anyone know what number the replacement bulbs are? The turn and brake bulb looks like an 1157NA because it is clear. I don't know what the...

    Old Ford/GP tail lights? What to build?

    Capt. thanks. I have seen the one with the double miniguns in photos. I have seen maybe one additional. I love them. I wanted to put a supercharger on mine. It has that drive belt in front for the water pump. Add a pulley in an air conditioner clutch and just flip a switch. Instant flight. Are...

    Old Ford/GP tail lights? What to build?

    How about a CYC bottom bracket motor with 48 v overvolted to 52 V. Or maybe get crazy and go up to a 72V battery and controller. But what frame is Heavy Duty enough? Tires? I guess lots of details depend on what bike I find. That is the first order of the day. Maybe buy a cheap fat tire bike...

    WWII Jeep tribute/Ratty bike.

    Any ideas on what kind of a build could look evil or all terrain in memory of the WWII jeep? I bought a pair of new production tail/turn lights as on the old jeeps and one will go on my 76 GL1000. One will be available for the bike of my choice. I think a beat up looking fat tire bike with 20...

    Wear a helmet. Seriously.

    They recently got rid of the helmet law in the state of Misery. Motorcycles can be ridden without one. I was all for it as I thought it would help clean the gene pool. Be Well, SS.

    Wear a helmet. Seriously.

    We have a law in town against riding bicycles on the sidewalk. Be Well, SS.

    Wear a helmet. Seriously.

    I always wear a bike helmet. My kids and Grands think I am a helmet Nazi. So what? I commuted with a helmet for 14 years. I had a couple of accidents in that time. And each one would have had the mashed turnip effect on my brain. The wife would argue it already happened! I also believe in lights...
