@Biker_123 I am thinking you will need to trickle charge a UPS that will power the pi.

Then I reckon use a handle bar mount to mount the screen in the center of your handlebars. I've done away with the airbox, so making that watertight, and hiding the Pi in there might be the way to go.

Because it's a Pi, you can feed it all kinds of sensors, Engine Temp, Exhaust Temp, RPM's, Speedo....And show it all on the screen.

Again I have some ideas floating about. I just need to put them together.

The hardest bit will be making it watertight. If I can do that, then it's a goer.

[Mightyman]

That's an awsome idea. Like a totally custom speedo / dash clocks...!

[Calum]

@MIGHTYMAN I was thinking this also.

Could even get the speed from Satelite navigation.

I do like the Vapor unit though lol.

But the possibilities are only limited by your imagination!

When I start building it I shall open up another thread. In case anyone else is interested.

@Calum when will it be running will there be a video haha

@aidan1996 WTF has he done to that bike to get it up to nearly 1700RPM???

[Calum]

@CYBER-NINJA It reving to that rpm and it making any power at all are two completely different things. My CDI allows sparking up to 22'000. But it woild make less power there than it would at 5.

[Calum]

Snail trail pace, but it's getting there!

This piece I had to make up as the radiator swap meant these had to be cabled tied togeteher in one piece.

@Calum i'm also attempting to put the yz125 forks on my dt125r.

would you be interested in making another bearing cup for the top bearing that i could buy from you?

[Zrako]

@Mightyman I've got the similar ones , Zeta makes them. Looks cool mate

[NINJA]

@Calum Looks neat bud.

[finnerz89]

Sorry to refer back to the start of the thread, but, have you still got the how-to for the kickstart mod? And does it replace the electric start or can you keep both?

[Calum]

@finnerz89 Keep both. The tutorial is on here bud try searching for it.

[finnerz89]

@Calum Cheers mate

[gareth_iowc]

@Calum did you see my post about the bearing cup?

[Calum]

@gareth_iowc Yeah I did write a reply. Must have forgot to send it.

Basically it's not as simple as: grab a YZ that'll do

There is a bit more to it. Diagrams have to be made, measurements have to be made and having the physical item to hand always helps.

I also no longer have access to the lathe I used last time. I need to rewire the current lathe I have got.

So no I can't I'm afraid. I've written full guidance on how it can be done.

If I had a working lathe then it's possible. But it took me a fair few hours last time due to the inferior tools. An engineering firm should be able to CnC it in minutes if you draw up a diagram for them.

[gareth_iowc]

Ok man thanks.

I've got a guy in mind but I thought you might be with a try as you've done one before

[Calum]

@gareth_iowc I wrote a guide on the basic theory. Follow that and you can't go too far.
