      I'm a little familiar with the Honda Shadows, it had carburators right? Nowadays with the ethanol fuels that can be problematic for bikes with carburators. The K100RTs were beautiful machines but some in were buzzy and got a little hot on the clutch side riding in town. The only thing to really be careful on the BMW 1100 GSs is has the plastic tank been replaced by a metal one . The plastic tanks were replaced by BMW under warranty because the paint would bubble and crack again because of the ethanol fuels . Thanks for watching

      You made a decent job of that speedo camera well done. The bike looks really cool.

      I may tweak it a bit but I just need the TFT camera to let me see the basics. The bike is a little heavy for me and leaves me little room for mistakes. I hope the salt is manageable this year otherwise it could end up a hot mess.

    Really nice and patient work. Better to take time and make sure every stage is perfect. Good to see the finished pistons moving. Thanks for showing us the procedure. Cheers

    This was a terrific video. I have a really nice Zard exhaust on mine, and have been thinking about de-cat and maybe a cam. Have a question about the ECU: I'm ignorant on this, so if this is dumb, my apologies. The bike has an auto remap program, as you know. Wondering why an aftermarket ECU would be necessary. If it is, would it benefit from a power commander? Would the difference between those options be worth it, performance-wise? Really liking this channel and hope you don't mind me picking your brain.

      The zard is a great choice. If you go with a to cam you will definitely need either a power commander with a Dyno tune or a dnktune for the ECU. I tried both and think the DNKtune for the ECU is better.

    Probably been tried or suggested, what about a chest mount or shoulder mount for the camera Jerry? It's always been a right PITA getting good camera position, footage and audio. 🤬 Didn't realise how much goes into getting a bike ready for that. Rules, rules, rules I presume?

      @@tojj29 I've don't think I've seen a shoulder mounted camera and never such a thing existed. I once put a camera on the side of my helmet once and at 175+ mph I that was a mistake. The rule book is about one inch thick with a few loop holes, one I hope to exploit because the Rocket 3 has an 16 inch rear tire which is speed limited to 150 mph.

    Wouldn't a chest mount be the answer, I know you'll be tucking into the tank but it's just a case of angling it and setting the field of view correctly. Also try white balance and exposure settings and frame rate changes to avoid flickering.

    • @flatcapcaferacer
      @flatcapcaferacer 19 днів тому

      Michael changing the white balance and frame rate....😆😆 I might as well try calculus. I'll look at the chest mount but realistically I'm tucked head down most of the way. I will be experimenting with a mount I made later. If it flickers I'll touch base with you on some tips. I'll be using a Hero 8.
