Decompression Lever revisited:

The first go at the decamp lever was a good one.
But here's a new design:

this new sleek decomp lever is thumb activated and tucks up under the tank out of site. it is cnc machined from aluminum and includes chamfered edges, and an ergonomic 15 degree angle for leverage.

these are for sale and will come painted black but can be left raw aluminum if wanted. contact me for info

or go here for more info:

i always start the bike in neutral...ive removed all the safety kill switches so no need for holding in the clutch

batter(y)'s up:

im a huge fan of boxes. really im obsessed with all types...its probably a result of the profound influence minimalism has had on my life.

charlie ray's ink box:
http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee419/rpnsht/Ray_InkBox_1986.jpg

i came across this mod http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1259644714 and it got me thinking about throwing out the ginormous stock battery for something much smaller...

anyone that has ever worked with sheet metal can appreciate the fine craftsmanship of the ryca battery box. its flawless in everyway:

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee419/rpnsht/battbox.jpg

sadly i have decided to forgo this well crafted piece of the ryca kit for something to hold my new battery.

i found this battery, murdering the stock battery in every way possible.
http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee419/rpnsht/Antigravity8cell.jpg

http://www.shop.antigravitybatteries.com/Antigravity-4600-12v-46Ah-8-cell-Mot... its pretty small, about the size of 7 iphones stacked on top of each other. so in order to run this battery a custom battery box needed to be made....

aluminum bar stock for the lid:
http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee419/rpnsht/IMG_1920.jpg

a huge chunk of aluminum for the actual box:
http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee419/rpnsht/IMG_1921.jpg

milling to size:
http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee419/rpnsht/IMG_1924.jpg

clearance for the belt or in my case chain guard, which comes in the ryca kit:
http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee419/rpnsht/IMG_1931.jpg

clearance for the battery terminals:
http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee419/rpnsht/IMG_1932.jpg

finished product (before poweder coating):
http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee419/rpnsht/IMG_1934.jpg

groves milled into top surface of lid to mimic the fins of the engine:
http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee419/rpnsht/IMG_1938.jpg

the entire NEW battery box will be powder coated black with the fins of the lid kissed off, exposing the aluminum, to mimic the steel on black fins of the engine block. heres an image of it in all aluminum with battery installed:

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee419/rpnsht/IMG_1947.jpg

if youre wondering why i chose to run a smaller batter needing all the effort of a new battery box...please look at the post below.

That battery box looks great. Are you interesting in manufacturing another one I can buy from you?

seafoam:

i saw that there was a lot of discussion about sea foam here on this forum. i kept an eye on the discussions but i was never convinced. to me it seamed like snake oil. but i was walking through the local automotive shop and saw a can of it calling my name. i bought it. i used it.

its amazing. i recommend it to everyone. a must

do it
