XS400 Build - Custom Starter Solenoid And Reg/Rec Mounts

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

XS400 build continues with making custom starter solenoid and regulator/rectifier mounts for a very clean and compact setup! This is the first time I have tried to mount these in a location like this so I am very curious to see how it turns out when I get to the point of wiring. All of the electrical components come from NWT Cycletronic should you wish to use the same.
Solenoid mount is made from 16g steel
Reg/rec mount is made from 14g steel and a 7/8 section of tube

    Master Class ~ Master Class ~ Master Class ~ Master Class. BJ, I have the "very clean" 1998 Suzuki 1200 Bandit on my trailer, tucked in on my driveway. Again and again I ponder the 22 mile speedometer. I look and I look, I think 22K is about right for actual mileage.But who knows? It is for sale. My buyer may arrive for a half price deposit on Saturday. Then he has to pick it up with the remainder in 10 days or I keep the deposit and the bike. So there it is, maybe he'll try to lowball me more whatever. Not gonna happen. I just need to get my Nighthawk on the road. I have a plate for that. Just slap the plate on and take her out. Definitely the name is "West Virginia." Then the Bandit. Hmmm So tempting just to keep that and kite the cost. OK Ok Ok ~ That's my report. Now for your Master Class! Thank you for sharing all that you do! Steve from New Hampshire.

    Rectifiers are finned to dissipate heat, that’s why they are usually found in front of the engine. Placing it there will make it prone to failing.

    That location may be true on some Harleys but most all Japanese bikes have them mounted behind within a box. This is also a modern mosfet unit that runs cooler. No worry of failure in this extremely open area.

    Reg/rec units usually earth through the aluminium finned casting, the LH end cannot be the earth as the mount is a touch locator so the RH end will be the earth point. A rivnut will usually be an aluminium part fixed to the frame bracket, so the earth path from the reg/rec will be aluminium casting, to steel bolt, to aluminium rivnut to steel bracket on the chassis. There will thus be a lot of opportunity for galvanic corrosion. Can I suggest you weld a captive nut on the back of the chassis bracket to limit the galvanic corrosion to the steel bolt to the aluminium finned casting.

  • @BrickHouseBuilds

    @BrickHouseBuilds

    3 ай бұрын

    These units don't ground through the case. I wouldn't be using an aluminum nutsert just due to strength. It would be a steel one if I did but the most likely option is to weld a nut on so I can retain a flat surface

    An engineering company I worked for before I retired had a machine that would be great for some of the things you make. It was a CNC water jet profile cutter. Do your drawing on the computer screen and let the machine cut out the part for you as well as doing any bolt holes etc. You have such a creative mind, so this type of equipment would probably make your life a lot easier.
