Thanks Rick! I appreciate all of you guys!

🤣 Lol. what can I say?

@@TonyN491 thanks for the comment. It means a lot to me. Sometimes you just need people to tell you to keep going. And I appreciate that.

I agree. That's why I called it snake juice. I wasn't sure if it was going to last, and it didn't. Thanks for the comment!

I added a red wire to the front and the rear when i dc converted it, so I could use the running lights of the turn signals.

@@icemanfiveoh thanks for replying. What I mean is where does it come from, straight from the battery or spliced from another one?

When I DC converted it, I used an add a fuse in the fuse box and ran that wire over to where it needed to go on the right side of the bike. At the point I attached it on that side, I branched off 2 red wires. One went to the front and one went to the rear. I recommend watching my DC conversion video to see the locations. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it.

@@icemanfiveoh will do, thanks. I'm trying to add a similar kind of turn signals, your videos are really helpful.

Thanks for the comment, and I'm glad I could help!

I think i got the hotend off ebay. Amazon has a complete hotend, but it's close to 100 bucks... Here is a link. a.co/d/dhix1ZV

@@icemanfiveoh ok I found a hotend for ender 6 for 30 bucks so I got that

​@@capyboi7738which hotend did U chose for 30 bucks?

Lol. Thanks again grunkle billy!

Brotherrrrrr! Thanks!

Man, I’ve been trying for years. I average 1 sub a day. It’s not nothing, but I’ve really been trying hard to turn out some detailed videos. Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks Grunkle Billy! Let’s see what we can do.

In total, it was just over 8k. I put 4 down and my payments through Honda are about 100 bucks a month...

Thanks for the kind words..... Good luck with your project and ride safe!

Thanks Grunkle Billy!

@@icemanfiveoh dont miss the fresh cut and all, looking too clean cut now 🤣

Lol... I don't look like I live in the middle of the woods now...I looks 10 years younger...

@@icemanfiveoh you really do

Glad it helped! Ride safe!

Maybe soon? I know it's been a while. I might have some time coming up to try and get it installed. Thanks for the reminder about it. Other project bikes and life got in the way... Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!

I'm 5'9. I know a few people your height that ride groms... you would probably want a bit more room, but it depends on how much you want to ride. I think you might be ok. I recommend a test drive if you can, or at least sit on it. They cost 6k in the end, so I think it's worth riding it or sitting on it. I think you would love it for its agility and handling.

With the run/stop switch. That's the big red switch on the right side controls. That turns off the motor without turning the key to off. Thanks for the comment!

Bikes are meant to get wet. Have you ever pressure washed your engine in your car? Same thing. I would stay away from the intake on the left side of the bike, but otherwise in my opinion it’s safe. I’ve never had an issue, and I’ve done it for years….

@@icemanfiveoh several times on my truck... and thx.

I really only have a few major items left. Tank setup and a wiring system. I think I am going to try an electronic setup. That way, I can have some cool buttons and controls on the handlebars. I don't think I will finish it this year.... I was hoping I would, but I'm not sure.

They have had zero issue with it. I wish I had power, but what can you do? They have walked by while I was working and never said a word. I would look into it. I've been doing it for a few years. Consequences of living in an apartment... They just jacked up my rent, too. LOL.

My Harley buddy said basically what you just did. Tomahawk first and then the rest... I think that is the way I will tighten them. Everything is still loose right now.

@@icemanfiveoh theres a sequence for the all the bolts to be tightened to.

Sounds better in person. Bought it and installed it on my 2024 Rebel 500, couple days ago. Loving it, rumbles and deep throttle sound. Not to loud but noticable. Buy it, worth the penny.

Why do they keep making them like that...

It's a zip up hoodie made by street and steel. I got mine at cycle gear. It's a brick and mortar store in the Chicago suburbs. It is 99 percent similar to this one from cycle gear. www.cyclegear.com/gear/street-steel-kickstarter-moto-hoody?Google&PLA-Local-LIA-Exclusive%20Brands-All&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwO20BhCJARIsAAnTIVSH6Qp6ziaupenPe8Gl16hMdGrD_1hrQMzNqjP4LWlq5kYtiZWuaMAaAlnNEALw_wcB

Awesome! I hope The Vance and hines holds up. Their exhaust for the Navi keeps snapping. But that could be their Navi design. Ride safe brother! And thanks for the comment!

Here is an eBay link... They are O'neal Butch gloves. www.ebay.com/itm/303744287959?var=602978171545

@@icemanfiveoh thx for the reply 👍 like always, stay safe.

Thanks for the comment! Since I don't have most of those parts, I don't have to change them! I have a kidney oil tank, so that should work. I'm going to order an XLH battery box, and I don't have exhaust either. The one thing I do know is that I'm going to have to clearance the cam cover for the starter. If I have to do the sprocket cover as well, then I'll do that. I had to go into the primary area to replace the clutch cable, so it wasn't a big deal to rip apart the clutch and get a ring gear welded on.

Nice. You saw a battery box? I don't think I have one... I have the whole starter assembly, though. Sounds like you might have some good tips and tricks based on what you are doing. If you think of anything else that I should be aware of, let me know! Thanks again for the comment!

@@icemanfiveoh I didn't see a battery box, but I thought you said, in ep2 that you had a large battery box also. The rear brake may be an issue since they went to left side brake in 74, so your frame won't have the tube for the brake rod shaft to go through. Personally I would go with the juice rear brake as you already have to get a wheel, and will have to switch swing arm for mechanical. Either way you will need frame mods. if you want mid controls. A mount for a brake pedal/master cylinder for left side hydraulic, or a sleeve for mechanical. You might see if you can get forward controls that are made for left side mechanical brake that use a cable for the brake. I think those were available at one time. Or get a set and alter them for a master, then run a steel brake line back to the left side in front of the swing arm and go to rubber line from there to a caliper. You wouldn't hav to mod the frame that way. Setting up mid controls might be a real pain. But I've never done it. I'm an old fart and only have email. If you give me yours, I will give you mine.

Lol... You can reach me at icemanfiveoh@gmail.com. We can chat there more if you like... Thanks again for the good comments! Already making me think about things I didn't consider.

Thanks for the comment!

The one side that has the 90 is the Mikuni end. The other side has the ball for the throttle. I solved the issue of it coming out funny from the throttle by getting a cable that has a 90 on the throttle side. I thought it was weird too when I got the cable. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the comment! Where do you get the parts to make your own cables? That sounds like a pretty good idea. Hopefully I will have solved the cable issue with the next cable that is coming in soon.... Thanks for the encouragement as well!

The Rebel or the Ranger? Lol. The brakes on the Rebel still feel the same, somewhat soft. Personally, I'd like a bit more grip. The brake feel on my Grom is insane vs the Rebel. I'd like to be able to slow down faster on the Rebel, like the Grom. I wonder if there are better pads, and maybe I should get a braided steel line...

Yea I did mean the Rebel , I also have a 23 SP Grom surprisingly enough the brakes are pretty good.

I love how light the grom is and how much braking power it has…

@@icemanfiveoh I’m also on the fence for a Rebel 500, but the soft brakes are a deal breaker for me … I’ve seen four other RUclipsrs do the test ride since 2020 to 2024 they all say the same thing it’s always the same problem. I don’t think it’s an easy fix meaning it’s pretty expensive from what I hear.

Hmmm, interesting. Well now I think I'll look into it and see what can be done. At low speeds(less than 30-40) it's not horrible. Plus for me this thing is just a cruiser. I know full well it's not some sort of sport bike, and I always try and leave extra space for braking.

I forgot about this video.... I had a lot of fun installing this kit. It looked way better afterward... Thanks for the comment!

Yes. I’ve left it in and it’s still plenty loud.

I’ve found it easier to do on the bike. The best thing to do is get the tool to put the springs in.

whenever the song goes high like getting a high pitch or going chorus it stops.

How are you powering it? Almost seems like whatever you have it plugged into isn’t supplying enough current. I would try plugging it into a brick or something that can deliver more power. Let me know if that makes a difference…

@@icemanfiveoh Hi! I noticed the LEDs turn from bright blue to pale blue whenver I turn the volume up, perhaps the problem is the resistance? The same as my problem above? Or is it current?
