BMW K100RS Project

[mossy1200]

Having problems with speedo.
The K100 disc bolts go all the way through from one side to the other.
Normally bolt goes into non magnet ally.
Whats happening is magnet is trying to magnetise the whole bolt making to weak to read for the sensor.
Two magnets with 3 layers of shrink sleave around them work but only just.
I think ill need get a small super magnet or a non magnetic disc bolt.

Thanks Ill get the neo 6 by 6mm disc type from your link if I cant get one from work. We do some door sensor units for Honeywell sometimes.
The ones they have work in steel frame doors. Just not sure if they have any below 10mm.

Go to a bicycle shop and ask to look at the Cadence magnets. Its what I use and they stick on. Not had one come off yet and one of the speedos has 40,000ks on it now.

Will do. I need to get some petrol for it though as its hard to push back into the garage. Must be getting old.

[mossy1200]

OK petrol in bike started and tested speedo. All good but need change it to 2 magnets on the settings. Its unlikely I was doing 100kph up my street in second gear on the CR at low rpm.
I think ill need install the silencer kit in the muffler as I think its louder than the ninja.

Plates expired. Just wanted to check brakes and speedo operation. Ill do the new plate stuff before any adventures because I haven't been pulled over or had a ticket for four years but I wouldn't trust my luck as it seems to be an attention seeking vehicle.

Man!! I take back my previous comment, that black looks sharp mate, awesome job. Almost gives me motivation to get stuck back into my BMW Airhead café project.

They did a very good job. In fact it makes the zx14r factory paint look dull. That's depressing me a fraction.
August paint and panel did the paint. Not cheap but great job so worth the extra monies.
