Another Lo Boy...Drag Pipe Brackets

Moe in South Carolina is also building a Lo Boy (in his front room !) and has asked me where I have attached the brackets for hanging the drag pipes.

Keep in touch Moe, ill try to answer any other questions you have as you progress with your build. Enjoy. Steve.

Moes Lo Boy in his front room

The rear exhaust bracket.... I had to drill a hole in the frame just next to the rear axle.... make sure you miss the break caliper Moe... I was close!

The front exhaust bracket simply attaches to the bottom of the tranny using one of its bolts supplied.



                                                       Happy Xmas

Drags in place............ i have drilled two small holes in the ends to take the mufflers if i need them.

Rear indicators.. & other bits

Getting to that stage now where theres lots of little jobs left to do..... drilling holes to run the wires for the rear blinkers.

I managed to get round the problem with the rear sproket (moving slightly)..... i just bought bigger bolts!!

Instead of making the spark plug leads..... I bought some i liked off Ebay

Fitted the side stand

And fitted the battery......... still have some wiring to do for the starter system

ITS STILL SNOWING..................... Fran wrapping up the horses!!

Wheel off again!

Ive had to take the back wheel off again.......... i noticed that the rear sproket was slightly off center when i span the wheel. I will need to get a spacer made to fill the very small gap allowing the movement. After Xmas job!!

Nice Pan Head

Installing the back breaks, break switch etc.

The parts that were missing for the ‘back break system’ have arrived from the States. I thought the best place to mount the switch ( a pressurised switch that operates the tail light) was tucked in near the engine .... as close to the harness controller as practicable. 

Ive mounted the break switch on the right side of the engine. They forgot to send the crush washers so i bought 12 off Ebay! The parts include...hose from foot break to switch, hose from switch to rear caliper, banjo connections... you have to buy the break fluid!!

 

There are two wires to connect to the break switch..... plus a jumper feed back to the break light. I shrink rapped the cables and ran them under the engine









Ive drilled a hole in the frame to hide the wires..... youll notice the BACK WHEELS OFF AGAIN!!! ill come back to this in my next post!




 Basically its a break line from the foot brake back to the wheel caliper with a break switch fitted in the middle.





Connected the wiring from the break switch back to the main controller with a jumper wire back to the tail light



Talking about Exhausts!!

Should sound interesting!

Different style.... but another really nice bike
