Second Generation Ascots > The V-Twin Years: Modified To Full Customs
Other VT500's ?
J6G1Z:
Do you have an industrial thermometer, or a meat/candy thermometer that you can stick in the opened filler neck to check the temperature of the coolant while the bike is sitting still & idling, or at various throttle positions? You might have to place a piece of cardboard over the front of the radiator to block the airflow once the fan kicks on. Then you can check & adjust the set points of your digital temperature gauge.
I'm looking forward to seeing & hearing more about the bike as you get to know it better. How's the exhaust sound?
Good luck

Headlamp MK2.
Bought a strap on polisport enduro headlamp for the light fitting, a piece of 5mm acrylic from ebay, cut with a router and the top bent over (hot air gun) for the speedo mount, some vinyl from a friend (sign making business) the result is...

Very clever & very cool! 8)
That bike looks real sharp!
What's going on with the side number plates? Have you settled upon a design yet?
Keep up the great work.

I have the mesh ones (a few posts up) but after my recent top end rebuild and road testing left the panels off just for convenience and the no panel look is growing on me, albeit a bit messy with the airbox and battery etc on show. After a few more road hours I think I am going to delve into trying out a pod type filter and if that works then will look into your earlier suggestion of the smaller mount anywhere batteries and empty the box/ battery area.
