    So, no info on selecting the resistor to vary current/voltage….and you show only a 12v led….but most red leds aren’t 12v, but consume around 2 volts, or multiples of 2v for more leds wired together. Would have helped people better to include the dropping resistor value using ohms law to calculate a value that gives adequate brightness and max longevity, keeping values within spec.

      You got it, just take your time, understand torque specs, make sure your cam timing is correct, piston directions, piston ring spacing and orientation, get a valve job done, understand how to set your cam chain adjustment and your ignition timing.

    Kyle, I bought a CB550 where the previous owner did dual front disks brakes but the stock speedo drive does not work. He just didn't have a speedo on the bike. Can you post what speedo sensor set up you use? Do you have a video on how to set up that speedo sensor you used on this bike? I can't find anywhere how to use stock speedo gear on a dual disk set up. I'm going to buy your 3D printed brake line clips too. Thanks in advance.

    • @kylevara
      @kylevara 11 днів тому

      I used the speedo sensor that comes with a M-Unit or the Motoscope Mini. The stock speedo gear drives a rotating cable that is used to translate speed on a mechanical speedo. These are big and bulking. Using a digital speedo is much more streamline. I can into more detail in a video Forsure!

    Kyle…..I learn so much watching your videos and primarily around how to “think” about a motorcycle design and build. I think I’ve commented on a previous post of yours where I said designing and building motorcycles is what I very much want to do in my next phase of life. I’ve had the career and am doing work now for others (my boys really) but working on motorcycles is something I want to do for myself as it brings me so my peace and enjoyment when I’ve been redesigning and rebuilding my own these past couple of years. Looking forward to the next post of yours!

    • @kylevara
      @kylevara 3 місяці тому

      Glad you like the videos and that you’ve found the same enjoyment in motorcycles. The mental side of it isn’t something that is ever talked about. I think the enjoyment comes from facing a problem, trying to solve it and thru many different avenues “that may be wrong or right” you end up finding a solution. When you succeed it’s super satisfying. 👊🏻
