Widow maker journey to the 200hp club

[Kevin frazier]

The antigravity battery app has a couple things I like besides continuous voltage but test, cranking and charging. I’ve seen varying #s so far so will see, ok I’ll show one and what happens if you leave a terminal loose blowing fuse in r/r harness ( I’m probably only 1 with this so far because my rectifier Neg plug burnt up last year and I procured a harness from the great one,) enough bad stuff I screwed up it’s been fixed the 1 in red was just to illustrate what happens to a rocket that’s been driven 25 minutes with no charging going on. But today it’s all green and everything is tight and right. The one in red also shows a battery may show 12.8 v but when you hit that button if in fact that battery is not right the cranking voltage will drop below what will work, we get the dreaded click but I don’t think I’ve heard of anybody saying it tried like turning over turning over but not quite, no on the rocket voltage better be good.

Well Kevin; spill the beans! Are you riding the Widowmaker? How does it run? Must feel like a different bike entirely with all the changes you have made. Get all the e-gremlins chased away or are they haunting you?
I won't upload a pic of my barometric pressure sensor relocation because my intake is unique so that you couldn't mount yours like mine anyway. Just move it up as close as practical to the back side of the Ramair plate or between TB inlet 1 and 2 near where K&N's clamp on. It doesn't need a filter on it but do point the opening downward so that it drains. The incoming air keeps the Ramair back plate closes to ambient temperature. With K&N's the claw is generally trimmed or not used so it is cooler around them than it is next to the frame rail.

Its all coming together nicely, I did the ring bedding and it runs great, I haven’t had it above 4500 but shes strong, waiting on a pipe so I can get dyno done and get the clear from Neville and Rob, Im fixing to do compression test so the results of how I did breaking in the rings will soon be obvious. The E gremlins are strait now decosse sorted a couple issues and the rest were mechanic issue but fixed now, thanks for tip on barometric pressure sensor.

Kevin are talking the AIT sensor or did you also move the barametric sensor from the air box up there ?

I’m sticking with ram air so AIT is in the back of the ram air and speedy is telling me where he relocated his barometric pressure sensor to which is out to tb between 1 and 2. Mine currently Is in original position in corner of empty air filter box.

Ya he is one to listen to. Sometimes I need him to repeat it a few times for it to sink in my thick skull.

No doubt about that!(gonna leave it open here if I’m replying to first part or the end of your quote)

Look here GOC, long and black just like johnnys Cadillac

So I posted the gold emulators were spot on when I did my ride around block and they were but adding the fairing makes them go to fork travel limit so I called them today and running the calculations for the fairing came up with a change to 15wt oil instead of 10wt. Below is there new calculation from today. I’m already running correct spring and am at 3 turns out on emulator, so we will see what happens, these emulators are amazing!

Waiting on muffler from Paul? Glad you have the gremlins under control. When you added your fairing the forks bottom out? Or when at speed with fairing they top out? Explain please?
