Rattlecan, (took 3 cans) + 2 cans of glossy clear-coat.
I took opposite approach, make it look good, run it to death, then rebuild for Speeeeed.
I started to take one approach with the wiring and turned it around. I still use the APC converter but only to power the speakers. At first it was for powering both speakers and cd player, but I found a cigarette lighter that converted 12volt into 6volt (for my cd player) so I used that insted. Then I bought a cigarette lighter splitter (1=2) and used that for powering the ac-dc converter and the cdplayer directly.
I made a mistake, I was looking for speakers with a 12volt power pack but in a rush, forgot about my plans and took the speakers that looked best. I planned to cut the power pack off and wire directly into a switch on the bikes electric. I liked the design on these better so I work with what I have.
To provide power for everything, I found an old cigarette lighter out of a boat and removed everything except the plug and wrapped the plug in special tape, cause I was too cheap to buy a new one, and installed it directly to my battery. I plan to install a switch when I get to a store to buy one, but for now, I just pull the positive off the battery when I'm done.
I placed everything right on top of the air box, i used a few plastic ties and attached the plug so it wouldn't move unless I need it too.
This is not the final design, the big white power adapter is not in the final, it was too big and I needed a replacement. (see above a few paragraphs), I'll try and get a new pic posted, what is this SpreeGallery that I need a login for?
I just bought a new battery before starting this project, I would not recommend it without it
I want to recommend for anyone with an old bike in need of care to give it a try, I used some tape and didn't have to take the bike apart. Only 10 hrs. of labor.
