U R Welcome

. I can't imagine those idiots thinking it's still a $4000 bike. It should be worth 7K atleast I guess.

Gotta say it again Wavex, that is one beautiful machine!

wavex · 02-20-2008, 10:50 PM

Thanks Clay!

Crazy, I wouldn`t sell it for less than 10k

Well, re-doing another one for fun would be cool

I enjoy working on the bike, and it could even end up better, since I would have plenty of cash to spend on it (after buying a used 06)

If I would have been living close to where you are, I would have got mine done too

Amen as I think I would be right with you if I was closer.

Vehicle manufactures tend to use CAN to interface instruments and other devices together in/on their vehicles. It's amazing how much stuff is networked together in modern vehicles.

Controller Area Network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here's a good article describing a network on a BMW motorcycle:
CAN-bus technology

I've fooled with some of the older, proprietary GM stuff on my 1995 Trans-Am, and it's neat to monitor the messaging going on.

That makes sense. I haven't researched how CAN works so I will follow these links to learn something new, thanks Jim!

What type of device did you use to watch the data flow?

I have two different pieces of interface hardware.

- One interfaces the GM ALDL signals to the parallel port for an older DOS monitoring program.
- The other interfaces the GM ALDL signals to an RS232 serial serial port.

For the serial port interface, I have several different windows based programs for monitoring / logging, and I also have software that lets me modify and re-flash the PCM via the same cable. (And yes I've bricked my PCM before when a flash failed, so my PCM is now socketed and I carry a spare set of flash chips...)

ok I finally finished the front end. Here are some close up pics... you can see the speedo brackets, custom aluminum headlight fork bracket (yes, they look funky), and some of the wiring...

oh and for the couple of ppl interested in seeing the shift light in action, I`ll do that in the next couple of wkds... during my next ride.

CrazyBiker · 03-10-2008, 02:15 AM

darn, my blue fork adjuster are not as shiny as yours. They look a bit beaten up due to repeated adjustments by their previous owner.

wavex · 03-13-2008, 01:25 AM

Ok so I finally got the clock to work on the koso... I had the 2 positives swapped in the wire harness

I also set the timers to 1/4 mile, and 0-60mph

so I`ll play with that at traffic lights

and let you know my times...

I adjusted the speedo position again and here you can see my final bracket rig

I think I am pretty much done... just top triple powder coat... maybe a new handlebar and -1 on front gear, and that`s it!
