With the oil-cooled book shipments finished, Decoboco is taking a breather…
But we’ve got to keep grinding away steadily as we head into year-end!
Today we installed a CR SPL on the Katana★ It looks sharp with that mag vibe.
The switch is a modified OEM part—the Katana originally only has a single-pull, but most switches have the same body,
so the body can be adapted.
We buy a switch from a parts bike and use only the lower section (the one with the throttle) and install it into the OEM unit.
The benefit is that the switch works just as smoothly as stock and the throttle cable is also OEM,
so it can be adapted and sourced right away.
You don’t have to go through the hassle of fitting an expensive aftermarket switch and throttle kit.
The downside is hunting down the right cable to adapt…
Cable length and the angle of the carburetor-side mounting point, that sort of thing.
The carburetors from BITO are excellent—the angle of the throttle cable mounting point is top-notch★
They’re tuned for each bike model, so there’s no strain on the throttle cable, which means the throttle is light♪
And it returns smoothly♪ Positive open-close action is important in this regard, I’d say.
If I had to nitpick, I’d want the spigot a bit shorter.
It’s top-notch!
This Sunstar and Brembo brake setup is spot-on★ I thought it wouldn’t be that powerful, but I was wrong!
What a convenient world we live in now.
Woohoo
