    Ok, it's not a Buell, but what do you do when the muffler on the forklift gets all blown out?

    Obviously you take a 1990's Yosh pipe off the dusty back shelf and like fer sher, make it like, totally radical okay?

    Been tracing a long time minor issue that I think a new ECM box solved (shocked, and even with the same fuel map!) and decided to add a port for a screw on fuel pressure gauge into the injector housing.

    It should make any future fuel system diagnosis super simple I've been meaning to do it for awhile, and I can't take credit for the idea. Crazy Ol' TPHAK did it first.

    Fairly straightforward job. Pull the airbox base and airhorn off. Take off the IAC, and it took a right angle bit driver to get at the 4 Phillips screws that had the injector housing on, then just pull it up, off the injectors.

    Man, I wish I had a chance to clean them while they were out and there really only the 4 TB bolts left to get to the intake gaskets. Oh well next time I guess.

    I also installed the dash that I had put the Voltmeter/clock/timer/and temp gauge display in:

    Right now it's just measuring ambient temp, but the probe will reach the head or the oil cooler. Not bad for $3

    I keep having to ask Siri to convert Celsius though. The gauge I got doesn't do Fahrenheit. Us Americans don't get that commie measurement system.

    Removed muffler, wheels, belt. Took primary cover off to tighten starter. Reinstalled primary, refilled with 900ml fluid and got out the Brakekleen and went to work. All clean again. Installed spare wheels with Q4's, muffler back on and were race ready. Took 6 hours. These day's I work slow and thoughtful. Ass hurts from sitting on stool. Sat on the porch and watched the birds for an hour along with 2 beers. Finally a day without smoke.

    Is that steel? Ugh. Puhleasze.


    You should knock some of the magnets off the rotor to lighten it even more. You may have to convert the lights to LED to prevent over taxing the electrical system, though. The R/R will probably live longer as it really wont have to shunt off any excess current.
