Did you forget to pull the pin out and crank the motor only to realize that after the fact...Somewhere in here during all my timing tests I had to replace the TDC pin. Not bad, only the second one I've had to replace over the last 12 years.
Odometer turned passed the 300K mark. (Really there's quite a bit more on that due to the tire/gearing differences.) I should be close to 90-100K on this build now. But really, at this point mileage doesn't mean much anymore.
I also played with some new LED headlight bulbs. My old ones still worked fine but the new ones take bulb placement into consideration to help them work better in housings designed for Halogen bulbs. Old on the left, new on the right.
They have cut offs for low beam use.
They are still plug 'n play but there is a box in the line in the new ones.
I did not go high end and sorted through a bunch of mid grade options on Amazon. The new bulbs work much better in the Hella housings I have. The old ones where bright but there was not a great cut off and I had them aimed down pretty good to keep the spread from being too annoying to other drivers. High beam didn't really seem to make a lighting difference. The new bulbs use the housing much better and there is a clear cut off now on low beams. High beams also make a real difference now. Overall they are not quite as bright in low beams but are brighter in high beams. I was able to aim the housings up a little higher now for better light spread. Definitely like the new style much better.
Do you have a link to your LED headlights. I like the City Racer ones and read good reviews except no heat to melt driving snow like the halogen. I guess the LEDs are worth it anyhow, that’s when a light bar would be handy.
I still have my stock odometer in my 60 swap pile. Not sure if I should just toss it, kinda cool to have the mileage of when I removed it from the 60 on it.
