yes I have gone for the Ignitech unit.  it came pre programmed with a base map and initially I will see how it goes.  However, my experience with cars is that the drive-ability can be improved immensely by going 3D so I will be adding a TPS to the end of one of the carbs.  thats why they are positioned slightly to one side.

here is the map I developed for my old Ford Crossflow.  it improved the way it drove no end!

You started the thread, so you should be able to edit your first post and change the title to whatever you want.

And yes, please post up some info from your Ignitech unit.

been busy the last few days making the speedo housing and mounting the headlight.  I am using one of the digital rev counter and speedo's.  this single unit contains all the functions I need and is fully configurable too...  and quite cheap at £25.  it didn't look that good though, so I made a housing to fit it in and keep the wires tidy.

to make the housing I rolled some sheet alloy (couldn't get the right size tube...) and welded the joint.  I then spun an end in the lathe using the same material.  this is an interesting process (and old as the hills!) where you form the metal by spinning it and applying force as its turning.  I used an old bearing on a tube to save marking the alloy.  it came out rather well. 

I really am loving my new welder!

jobs for today has been to put the seat foam on the aluminium tray and sand it to shape before sending it off to the trimmer.  I was able to sit on the bike and get it to the shape that suits me, which is nice.  the trimmer will add 15mm of soft foam on top and contour it in, before trimming it in black.

Best laid plans with the fuel tap…  it was going to go in the plate that fills the hole where the fuel pump fits, but there is not enough clearance so I resorted to remote mounting it.  its actually better as I can get to turn it on and off easier.  the two inlets are so I can come off two pipes in the tank to give me a reserve facility.the tap is off a Suzuki Bandit 1000.

on projects in the past I have always soldered the connections, but this time I have gone for crimped joints,  they look neater, and also as my mate always says you never see a soldered joint on aircraft wiring!

been a little while as I am having to take a  break to do some house DIY…  but I managed to sneak in the garage and make a cover for the front of the tank.  It took a while to plannish it out of some 2 mm alloy as its a complex compound curve, but i got there.

I was going to use keyless ignition as I have used on the last few builds, they are cheap and work well… however the brief on this build was as simple as I can make it, and it does not come more simple than a key operated switch!  when I put it in the cover it didn’t look right, so I made a tool to emboss around the switch, which worked quite well…
