Speechoz Skunkworx

Speechoz Skunkworx

This channel is all about my workshop, and the eclectic mix of projects, machines and tools that pass through my shop. Back in the olden days, skunkworks used to be where projects were conducted in secret until they just appeared one day, with most being none the wiser. I like to work alone and feel like I'm building stuff in secret, so named my shop Speechoz Skunkworx (back in the early 2000s when Z's and X's were all the rage. Ahh, the noughties!). I have tried to capture the goings on around the "skunkworx" tinkering with projects, playing with bikes, repairing stuff and my adventures reviving and modifying old junk. Hope you Enjoy!
Oh and don't forget to share my channel with your friends!

    No I have found that there is usually no need. I just check that there is no play in the conrod and replace the roller bearings

    They make rubber vacuum caps to block that off, any auto parts store or hardware store. I don't think I'd be shoving silicone in there.

    THANK YOU. I’ve just bought a DR with the 25 litre Acerbis tank. It’s resting on the oil cooler bracket and the outer spark plug cap. I’ve googled and KZreadd and watch a lot of installs and only found two clips on adding scrap rubber under the tank to lift it and one showing to add shock absorber top rubbers to the inner sides. Your using a original rubber block is excellent..

    You don't need an extra volt regulator for the head light, it's already there. Tap into the black wire going to the horn switch , you got 12v dc, over the ignition switch.

    Easy way to get 12v dc regulated power for the light, is to run a wire from the black wire on the turn signal relay to the yellow wire to the light switch, it runs over the ignition switch.
