Title: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/16/16 at 17:36:43 Well, the parts should be arriving on Thursday for my bike. Can't wait to start working on it. It's just been sitting there looking sad and naked. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b162/dinoshavbabies/61F53DB2-9179-4F09-9978-AFAE378CC11C_zpsz3qfpeje_1.jpg (http://s19.photobucket.com/user/dinoshavbabies/media/61F53DB2-9179-4F09-9978-AFAE378CC11C_zpsz3qfpeje_1.jpg.html) |

Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Ruttly on 10/16/16 at 21:01:04 And now the fun begins ! Imagination & problem solving are key ! Lots of knowledge and great people here to help with your ?s |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/17/16 at 09:08:06 Ya, I can already tell I'm gonna need to figure some things out. For example: the speedo, not sure what I'm going to do about that at this point. |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Ruttly on 10/17/16 at 10:05:26 Doesn't Ryca kit come with speedo & cable ? If not they sell them ! |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/17/16 at 10:50:11 I opted out of it, I was hoping to somehow re-use my stock one, so I could keep the odometer and built in dummy lights. |

Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Ruttly on 10/17/16 at 12:04:27 Chain or belt drive ? |

Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/17/16 at 12:06:45 Chain. |

Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by hinow41 on 10/19/16 at 19:12:07 Make sure you get sleep before it shows up. Then take the next couple of nights off and build! oh and take lots of build pics ;D |

Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Ruttly on 10/20/16 at 18:50:04 Did it come ,Did it come ? |

Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/20/16 at 20:42:28 UPS truck showed up at 8:15pm, so all I got to do was unwrap everything and test fit the tank before I had to get ready for work. I was super impressed with the packaging by Ryca. Every component was bubble wrapped individually and packed well with peanuts. |

Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/21/16 at 01:41:16 Left work early and made some progress on the bike. Tank, hardtail, fake oil can, and seat brackets all mounted up. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b162/dinoshavbabies/CF7E7A9C-6631-4E95-B8DA-24DFF32546BB_zpszspflips.jpg (http://s19.photobucket.com/user/dinoshavbabies/media/CF7E7A9C-6631-4E95-B8DA-24DFF32546BB_zpszspflips.jpg.html) http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b162/dinoshavbabies/6D1DBD9B-1148-4389-95C6-53F2E8D61DDD_zps8jtxcmrm.jpg (http://s19.photobucket.com/user/dinoshavbabies/media/6D1DBD9B-1148-4389-95C6-53F2E8D61DDD_zps8jtxcmrm.jpg.html) http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b162/dinoshavbabies/25A0511A-4BF1-4E7F-BDA6-76FCB5E3F136_zpshezlr8kk.jpg (http://s19.photobucket.com/user/dinoshavbabies/media/25A0511A-4BF1-4E7F-BDA6-76FCB5E3F136_zpshezlr8kk.jpg.html) I think tomorrow I'll do the front end lowering. Just need to run out for some ATF. |

Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/21/16 at 09:05:57 Current dilemma: can't get the bolts out of the bottom of the fork tubes... they're in there good! Bars are on though! http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b162/dinoshavbabies/5FD6E29E-DFAE-43A6-AF3F-B8D23BEF0549_zpsjqsmhsqd.jpg (http://s19.photobucket.com/user/dinoshavbabies/media/5FD6E29E-DFAE-43A6-AF3F-B8D23BEF0549_zpsjqsmhsqd.jpg.html) |

I've got the tool holding it in place sturdy, just can't get the bolt to loosen. I may got get a long allen socket so I can use my impact. Happen to know what size that bottom bolt is? Current state: http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b162/dinoshavbabies/FF4CBBB6-997E-4D4F-9420-7ED57972B8CD_zpsfoiecv6c.jpg (http://s19.photobucket.com/user/dinoshavbabies/media/FF4CBBB6-997E-4D4F-9420-7ED57972B8CD_zpsfoiecv6c.jpg.html) |

7mm, I wouldn't use a long one, they tend to break. itsa SOB, I knew I was just barely able to get it broken loose. I know they apply their version of loctite to just about everything. So maybe heat applied directly to the head of the bolt would help. I would use a flame cause of the enclosed area. But a soldering iron... a big one. |

Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Ruttly on 10/21/16 at 12:19:08 I warmed up bolt with my crack torch , then used a small box wrench over Allen wrench for more leverage while sitting on fork leg , SOB |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/21/16 at 13:26:46 Went and bought a long 3/8 drive 8mm. Impact wrench took care of it. I'm cruising right along with the build. I guess I need to start thinking about what color I'm going to have the tank/fender powder coated. |

Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/21/16 at 15:50:18 She's a roller! http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b162/dinoshavbabies/C7B1C806-59D4-433A-A90C-7BDD124F56FC_zpsxrone1gf.jpg (http://s19.photobucket.com/user/dinoshavbabies/media/C7B1C806-59D4-433A-A90C-7BDD124F56FC_zpsxrone1gf.jpg.html) |

Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Ruttly on 10/21/16 at 21:22:25 Having Fun ? |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/21/16 at 22:29:24 Ya, I spent a solid 12 hours working on it. I was hoping to re-use the factory speedo, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to. Not looking forward to trying to tuck all the wiring for the handlebars. I need to yank the tank and fender off and take them to the powder coater. I'm thinking silver or grey. |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Ruttly on 10/22/16 at 12:46:58 I neatly zip tied the wires to the bars , much better than them blowing in the wind. It's lookin good ! |

Ya, I don't know how I'm gonna get them from the "oil can" to the bars though. Try and hide them under the tank? |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Ruttly on 10/22/16 at 17:05:14 Yeah not much room to hide it. It's so bare. Are you altering the wiring at all ? |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/22/16 at 17:19:57 No. As of now I'm not using turn signals, but I'm keeping the wires in case I change my mind. |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Ruttly on 10/22/16 at 18:18:20 Ok , but I think in tech section there is a stripped down wiring diagram with no turn signals and bare essentials removing decomp selenoid and relay. Helps to thin out the harnesses and removing failure prone parts |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Ruttly on 10/22/16 at 18:47:45 Title was : Simplified/chopper wiring diagram if your interested Sorry don't have the direct link |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/22/16 at 19:56:53 I'll check it out, thanks. I got rid of the decomp solenoid, I'll be using the thumb lever. |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Ruttly on 10/23/16 at 10:04:09 It's easy to get rid of decomp relay a simple bypass |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/23/16 at 21:40:01 Chain conversion is on, carb is re-jetted, and pulled off the sheet-metal for powder coat. I think I'm gonna do silver or grey. |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/26/16 at 16:50:51 So, she's just about done. Just waiting on a speedo to come in. Took it for a quick ride up to get gas, it's a blast! The powder coat turned out great, and you definitely can't beat the price. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b162/dinoshavbabies/E6E2C5ED-B9C4-4D3C-9F6B-F5AA024414A5_zps8bebx2wr.jpg (http://s19.photobucket.com/user/dinoshavbabies/media/E6E2C5ED-B9C4-4D3C-9F6B-F5AA024414A5_zps8bebx2wr.jpg.html) |

Ya, my wife wasn't too happy that I was in the garage so much. It helped that I tore down and prepped the bike while I was waiting for the parts. |

Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/28/16 at 17:45:07 So, speedo is hooked up and I got the breather filter on (still need adel clamp). I think she's pretty much done. I may powder coat the headlight bucket black over the winter. |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Ruttly on 10/28/16 at 18:15:58 Powder coat plastic ? |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/28/16 at 18:54:25 Wow, I had to go out and check. I had no idea it was plastic. Maybe I'll Plasti-dip it then. |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Ruttly on 10/29/16 at 16:25:12 Yeah it had me fooled till I took it off ! I just polished mine and stuck it back on ! With a high output blue bulb in it. |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/30/16 at 10:52:38 So with the manual decomp lever, I need to bypass the clutch safety switch. This means it's critical I know when the bike is in neutral. Because the neutral light is in the factory gauge cluster I'm planning on wiring up a light. There aren't many places to put it, so I'm thinking about drilling into the top triple tree. |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Ruttly on 10/30/16 at 13:28:11 Chris, There is a Nuetral safety bypass you should do. Go to Rycas website , at the very bottom of home page click on "resources" scroll down & click on "clutch mod wiring" |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 10/30/16 at 16:08:04 I did see that, either way I want the neutral light. |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Ruttly on 10/30/16 at 16:35:23 All the way to the bottom of first page , resources Mod only allows start in neutral only , so you won't accidentally start in gear while your left hand is working the decomp lever |
|
Title: Re: Ryca Bobber Project Post by Chris H. on 11/02/16 at 16:26:00 Neutral light installed. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b162/dinoshavbabies/646330BD-33C8-41E6-9366-06A258093D1B_zpses6jiqal.jpg (http://s19.photobucket.com/user/dinoshavbabies/media/646330BD-33C8-41E6-9366-06A258093D1B_zpses6jiqal.jpg.html) http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b162/dinoshavbabies/77981914-162B-4714-BDFE-BCF8889D3EB8_zpsfxkt89cw.jpg (http://s19.photobucket.com/user/dinoshavbabies/media/77981914-162B-4714-BDFE-BCF8889D3EB8_zpsfxkt89cw.jpg.html) |
