Now saying you can make all those parts out of carbon really will open a can of worms around here, lol.  Start designing a new chin spoiler and I am in!!!

A new chin spoiler is on the to-do list, but a bit of a lower priority at the moment.


Started doing some concept sketches for the rear sets, using an eccentric bolt for adjustment along with the normal bolt array.

futuristic. Ill take any of those that you decide you dont like  . assuming you make more than one pair that is.

Nice sketch.  But seems redundant to have both bolt hole array and eccentric.

Planning on selling 'em


Idea with putting the bolt hole array and an eccentric is that you can really fine tune things to put the pegs exactly where you want. I need to actually build a prototype and decide if it's necessary or not.

ill give you an second opinion on them if you want to know how others feel. just send me a pair when ever and ill do a reveiw 

Well, out of curiosity, how much adjustment would everyone like to see? Obviously not having the array would make life way easier (and everything cheaper) if that much adjustment wasn't wanted/needed.

I have been happy with these.  I have had to adjust them on two occasions, and didn't feel a need for in-between adjustment.  They are 6mm tapped holes on 12mm centers X and Y.  That gives me 24mm adjustment forward/back, and 36mm up/down.

If you could make a set with more ground clearance relatively inexpensive I would be very interested. Dont need a ton more clearance, just like 0.5-2.0"up and 0.5-1.0"back.

Sounds good. What are you using for the actual peg/lever?



On an unrelated note, I won a set of gsxr 600 throttle bodies on ebay today. Fuel injection process is getting started.

They are GSXR pieces. 

just curious have you gotten it to run yet?

Far from even trying. I finished proof of concept showing that the valving changes do in fact work on my second test motor. Before trying to run the bike with the new valving and such, I want to get it running a somewhat stock configuration on fuel injection. One step at a time. If I try to add the fuel injection and the valving changes at the same time, I have to try to troubleshoot two things at once. Furthermore, having a solid fuel and ignition map to work with will make scaling up to positive pressure much easier that trying to start from scratch. My goal is to have the motor running in its new configuration by August.

finding gsxr pegs and the mounts are almost impossible, but if you can find them out there, they are outrageously priced! machine up your own modeled after woodcraft, vortex, or gillys and not rely on a "stealership" part as replacement. just make plates for all bikes, the sets will be universal minus shifter set up. You've got a business! I found a set of vortex at cycle gear for a gsxr, $385, then made my own adapted brackets. most  brakes and shifters work off a spline w/ a grease groove sys, and the peg screws in or gets tapped from the rear(thats what she said). i can take off my vortex and take pics if you really taking this into marketing. might be pricy for such a select few. but hey, what is there for our beloved GS, make me a set. first dibs!

Any chance of a picture from further back? Trying to get an idea of placement of the foot pegs based on your set up.



Back on the topic of my bike, the megasquirt stuff showed up today. Have a bunch of soldering to do, but I now have an ecu for running fuel injection/controlling ignition timing.

Spent a good 6 hours with a soldering iron today, but just about finished the ecu for the bike.


Megasquirt ecu and relay board
When I started:


finishedish:



few things will have to be added once I decide on some specifics of some of the sensors I'm using and make some choices about how I want to do ignition, etc, but otherwise done.

and I thought that my Mini3 Headphone amp was quite a challenge to solder 
Nice work!

The soldering wasn't too bad, other than a handful of tiny transistors. Just so much to do it took forever.

^^^^^^^^^
for me the hardest part was soldering on the sound processors. Those tiny legs are so close to each other...

that was the issue with the transistors. The distance between each pad was literally less than the width of a hair
