    This bike is all brawn no brains.LOL
    NO fuel injection.

    Dynatech makes many systems.
    This is a simple system, Coils, and pointless ignition. Thats it.
    No electronic boxes or sensors like modern sport bikes. Keep it simple system.

    More complex Dynatech systems are available for hundred or thousands of dollars.
    I don't want them or have the money for them.

    I'm going to continue to run the Dyna digital ignition on my 82. I loved it. Was great till I hit the deer and it shorted out in a puff of blue smoke. They told me its out of warenty but I can get factory rebuilt for under $200.

    Maybe DB can send the dyna folk a couple of bucks for a decal so that those who think everything on the road has to have a electronic farkle attached will be happy.. Then again the time it will take him to explain that on some things ya really don't have to have shit like that will cut into his play time.. Stay tuned..;)

    Maybe you could send him a WMRRA sticker for it, I'd also suggest that you recommend a number, but then remembered your'e a groupie, I mean member, not an actual racer.

    I had a couple of real NGK decals. The reps for NGK used to hand them out with plugs. We'd use the plugs for warmups then put in Champions.

    The red&black one is still available. Not much into that stuff on the bikes but I have seen some logo graphix that are crap.

    Nolan? LOL.. What's next? Anagrams and Ouija Boards or one of those plastic 8 Balls? I suppose now I will be put back in your self generated purgatory until your Xanax dissolves.

    Be careful or norkleboy will be correcting your spelling and calling you Nolan too. DB's cafe? Patience dude, it's not like you see on TV building a chopper. IMO he's been doing a remarkable job on the bike and the quality and quantity of the updates.

    Photos from today.
    [​IMG]
    Oil breather hose from oil tank draining back to the engine.
    The Honda CB750 has a dry sump oil system.
    3-1/2 quarts of oil stored in a small tank.
    That oil tank does get hot.
    This one does not stick out as far as the older versions.
    Less chance to get burned.
    [​IMG]
    These rubber cushions in the rear hub get old and hard from the brake shoe heat.
    These are all brand new cushions.
    [​IMG]
    This is the side of the box that holds the battery.
    It holds the entire electrical system.
    The box you see is the fuse box. Three fuses. Thats it.
    Also there will be a rectifier/regulator, starter motor safety switch, starter solenoid, and turn signal flasher.

    Wait till you see my beautiful front fender. Next time.
    I put the Randakk's decal on the gas tank because i ordered some grips from him that were very nice.

    Small special rubber oil pressure sending unit cover from Yamiya in Japan.
    Just like the original part.
