  1. Time for Sachse?

  2. Nope, not quite… ;)
    Like I said, time for new upgraded wires.

    Believe it or not, the bike started fine and ran smooth when I bought it a month and a half ago.
     
  3. Make sure you get the wire polarity the right way round

  4. Yeah, I have been very cautious about this. I have marqued each wire (old/new) individually on both sides, sketched the whole thing on paper, checked 8 times before launching myself into this…

    Here’s the cover side done. RTV curing now.

  5. We’re almost there. Setting up the pickups and the cover goes back on. At last! 9943A9F6-1841-432B-BC6B-ADF7C8DE7AE7.jpeg

    In the meantime, I received these beauties… :cool: 7D573748-E49E-44CE-B181-324E5F8F34D7.jpeg

  6. I wonder if the L & R will sit square unlike the OEM ones.... :grinning:

  7. I’ll let you know. What I can tell you is these feckers are a tight fit into the casing…
     
  8. Yeah, from what I can remember there is a little 'ramp' type effort in the plastic with a gap at the top that provides the push & locking mechanism.

    The wires inside the casting are themselves a real tight fight and some time spent forming them into the gaps is beneficial.

  9. Here! @Andy Bee
    What do you think? Square enough?

  11. So Brancato Engineering says 0.05-0.10.
    The Darmah WS manual says 0.04-0.05.

    I am tempted to go for 0.05mm. What do you, Bosh ignition Gurus, recommend ?
     
  12. Looks good to me :grinning: btw what did you use on the headlight shell to get that shine?
     
  13. I'm no guru on the Bosch ignition but I suspect Tony Brancato is....

  15. So, where between 0.05 and 0.10 then? Right in the middle I guess?
     
  16. I'm gonna assume it's the same as any clearance range so anywhere between the max & min would be acceptable?
     
  17. Ho hum... :D

  18. I settled for a nice 0.07mm. That’ll be good enough.

  19. Patina, how’s the Raptor coming along I’ve had countless sleepless nights in anticipation of the next update?

  20. He-he-he - funny you should ask, because after a 2 week hiatus due to the cold I've just managed a couple of hours in the garage so a new exciting instalment will be upon us all soon.
