did you shim the rubber cushions?
My rear brake locked up real easy, so, I used a grinder to remove about a third of shoe contact area. I was much happier having a pedal I had to push on firmly to slide the tire. It responded more linearly.

I'm not sure if it would be better paint them black or leave them as they are...
Suggestions?


I assumed you'd paint them which is why I made them black in the mock up.  If it were me I'd paint or pc them.

My first idea was to paint them in glossy black, but after seeing them mounted, I also like the natural color of the metal...

About the rubber cushions...I have the opposite problem, since I bought the bike, when I press on the pedal ... nothing happens, even after changing the brake pads...

Electrical issues.
Reply #21 - 08/04/15 at 05:17:55
 
uhm no, i like the contrast between black and chrome.

Anyway... when I thought I was close to finishing , I have encountered this problem.

Before placing the wiring , I connected the battery and everything worked perfectly.

So I placed everything in its place...

But now, if I put the switch in "on" position, I can hear the "click" of the relay. But when I turn on the lights in Hi position, i suppose something goes wrong, the light seems like a candle and the relay goes off with another "click".

Probably there is something in short circuit or similar.
I tried to isolate the individual sectors of the electrical system but without success .

I replaced each device connected to the wiring, taking them from a twin ( voltage regulator , starter relay , etc. ), nothing.

I disconnected the rear fender , I disconnected the starter , nothing ...

The only thing that I have no way to replace at the moment is the battery. But can a battery create this kind of problems ?

help me please!

Further indication, this little guy make some strange noises when I press the Start button, like a bee: BZZZZZ

Nothing happens anyway, just BZZZ...

I already tried to replace it with its twin, same result .

Can you put a volt meter on the battery and see what happens to the voltage when you start pushing buttons?

It sounds to me like you have a crappy battery.  They can go bad in an instant......they can work for one start and then be done.  I rode 1.5 miles between a hardware store and a gas station, and after putting gas in the bike I turned on the key....and nothing...not even enough power to light up the neutral light.

If the battery voltage is less than about 12.5 volts with no load, and then it drops when you turn on the key.....your battery is toast.

Thank's Dave, I'll try that too!

Today I have to discuss with my bank for take out a mortgage to buy a house, but as soon as I finish I run in the garage.

It's much more important!  Grin
