have you seen this? I've used this type a couple times. it gets your switches in a convenient placement on the bars. and it's cheap enough. It'll run yer headlight tailight turn signals and horn. I'm using one like this on my bike.Wired the headlight to the break lights battery source as well as put it on the switch that mounts on the handlebars. still just something to get me by till I can make it better.
Also managed to install the front wheel on my bicycle , Unfortunately Sans the Disk breaks I have attempted to mount several times. it would seem that even with washers in place the disk rubs the fork arms :s mayhaps I will just have to take it to a bike shop so they can tell me my parts don't work together.
Lowe's is a complete ripoff. I broke a back motor mount bolt right in front of a Lowe's. After getting "screwed" I've never been back and travel the extra 3 miles to Home Depot or even further to an ACE. I used to have an ACE a mile away, bought nuts and bolts from there for years. The opening of the Lowe's so close to them forced them to close. At least they haven't totally gone.did the electrical tape and started loctite today.
wanted to use heat-shrink tubing but lowes wanted too much money for it, wanted to do some liquid gasket but lowes didn't have any.
got a big-ol tube-a-grease though.
the one im using is very similar to that one, Ill have pictures up sooner than laterhave you seen this?

Wow that bike is shiny.. dont look like its ever been rode...I got my horn today and I'm playing around with where I'm going to mount it. With the bracket that came with the horn it mounts nicely on one threaded stud on the front of the HS 49 cc engine.
There are two threaded studs that are on the same plain on the front of the engine. I could make up a new bracket that will catch both threaded studs and bring the horn in closer to the engine though.
The way I have it mounted now I'm only using one of them but with the dog ear in the bracket the dog ear rests against another stud so the bracket can't move down and feels solid.
Guess the right thing to do is make up a bracket to have two mounting points....
Thanks mapbike, I have put 285 miles on it since it was completed last October. I wipe it down after each ride, I'm kinda obsessive about keeping it clean.Wow that bike is shiny.. dont look like its ever been rode...
love that Green and by the way that horn looks good mounted there.
They look like the spokes from a '27 Buick spoke wheel....any idea what the gauge on those are?!
And where the heck would you find more of them?

I've never noticed Lowe's being worse than other stores. When we go shopping in town, there's a Lowes, Menards, and Farm & Fleet within a mile of each other - Lowes and Menards on the same block. Menards is the cheapest, but the store's layout sucks, it is hard to find a sales assistant, and the quality of their products, especially lumber, is so bad I almost never go there.Lowe's is a complete ripoff.

I never thought of using plasti-dip, that might've been a better plan.GoreWound,
I like using shrink wrap on any wiring job, too. Harbor Freight has it cheap. But Plasti-Dip works great if you don't mind the trouble of brushing it on (or dipping) and waiting for it to dry. Dries fast- and is the best seal you can get on a wire job. Also, you have to have enough room (and remember!) to put the shrink wrap on the wire BEFORE soldering! Not a problem with plasti-dip.
