    What are these engine brackets ?

    I did those when I lived in Japan as well. They also sold an additional "L" bracket that became a rear motor mount that linked or went from the rider's foot peg bolts to the rear or under side of the motor. Those, the Front Frame Braces, frame strengthening gussets, reinforced swing arm all made...

    Motorycle For Sale 1985 Yamaha VMAX for Sale

    I noticed that right off myself. Reason is my Gen 1 V-Max is also a 1985. When I purchased it I was the second owner of the bike as well and the original owner never had any problems and the bike was mint with 4,800 miles. The bike was solid with no overheating and the bike had the original...

    SPA Technique Tachometer built into Original Speedometer Housing Tutorial

    I don't remember if it has it or not on the UK model. I use the one on my Dakota Digital Speedometer since my mileage started over the same time I rebuilt the motor.

    SPA Technique Tachometer built into Original Speedometer Housing Tutorial

    I know, right, but still would be cool. My entire life is over-kill. The 5th Axis capability of my mill would allow me to engrave stuff on the outside of it if I wanted to get creative.... I do like some things original, the housing might be better in shiny aluminum though like you mentioned.

    SPA Technique Tachometer built into Original Speedometer Housing Tutorial

    I called SPA Technique, the customer service representative told me that the US distributors do not list it on their website. He said he will get back with me as early as Monday, reason is the UK where they have them is about 5 hours ahead because of their time zone and they are closed. When he...

    SPA Technique Tachometer built into Original Speedometer Housing Tutorial

    When I did mine, I never saw any documentation as to "how" to actually do it. I saw them assembled completely but no explaination or any photos on how anyone put it together. I saw many of them on the bikes in Norway like you said. When I get back I might just machine the speedometer housing...

    Dakota Digital Speedo Dome

    It was the same as what is on the SPA Technique tachometer I purchased. I was going to integrate both into the same system. I was just trying to see which one worked best and I was going to go from there for it. But I had the SPA already set up and I was going to go with that one the last I...

    Dakota Digital Speedo Dome

    Yes, those are "Remove Before Flight" lanyards. I have the exact same ones for my Two Brother's Racing exhaust tips. I have the same oil cooler as well, I purchased mine off the same website he did. The bottles were enough for my air shifter kit and NOS, but more for looks, it looks killer on...

    Dakota Digital Speedo Dome

    I don't have any pictures of the drive shaft. Like you said, I can see the splines of the drive shaft when it's on the center stand and turn the rear wheel or if the bike is sitting there. I purchased my OTEC from Exactrep and they were unreal on the price back in the day, something like $3,500...

    Dakota Digital Speedo Dome

    I remember it being sunny in Hawaii when I tested it and I never had a difficult time seeing it. It has an "auto" dimmer for night/day time so it's not just screaming bright at night.

    Dakota Digital Speedo Dome

    The toggle switch is for the 4 Bottles of NOS that I have on the right side of the bike. They are attached to the right side of the frame brace. The frame brace is a carbon fiber one I purchased back in 2004. I have a beefed up Extended Swing-Arm that I made, it even has a clear window so you...

    Dakota Digital Speedo Dome

    By going to the sensor they provided, I just put a cap on my speedo because it was no longer mechanical. Plus, the space you need for the gear drive needs to be there for the wheel. Since then I went to an inverted front end, and I machined a spacer on my mill to make up for the speedometer...

    Dakota Digital Speedo Dome

    The Hall effect sensor they provide picks up the speed of the bike. There is a small magnet that breaks the field that I put on my modified extended swingarm and Brembo rotors that senses the speed. There are a few things I have to do to get the math right, but it works mint. I am going to...

    Dakota Digital Speedo Dome

    This is my prototype, I will remake all items with my mill when I return home from Kuwait. I can only post 10 photos for now, but when I figure out how to post them all I will put the entire tutorial on this site. Again, this is not a complete tutorial until I can post more photos or figure out...

    SPA Technique Tachometer built into Original Speedometer Housing Tutorial

    I am limited to the amount of photos I can post. But I will post entire tutorial when I figure out the photo issue. This is the Prototype. When I get back to Hawaii from Kuwait I will make the professional brackets with my mill at home. Quick Update: The SPA Tachometer I actually have is the...
