Wiring up the heated grips and USB charger on a Honda CB250 Nighthawk

After fitting the heated grips in the last episode, they have predictably drained the battery overnight while off. So it's time to fit proper wiring and hopefully do a reasonable job.

    Very helpful video! I'm looking to clean up some Chasseur Escoffier copper pots that I've had for years. Can you help me to choose the right compound and buffer? The short story is that I accidentally burnt one of the pots by putting on some water to boil a few eggs, then lay down on the sofa and fell asleep (of course!!)... Woke up the next day to find the pot still on the stove and completely black!! Thankfully the pot seems structurally OK-no warping! I've got a fair way in restoring it using Bar Keeper's Friend, a lot of elbow grease, and time. But there are still a lot of black fleck marks on it still and the copper has dulled a lot. I'm looking to purchase a bench polishing wheel to fix this one up.... and, of course, keep it to touch up the pots to a beautiful shine every year or two. If you have any suggestions on what combination of wheel and compound would most suit the job, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know!

    • @TooManyProjects
      @TooManyProjects 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I couldn't tell you I'm afraid. The copper pots I have are plated, so I'd be very careful not to go through it. Call metalpolishing.co.uk, they are very knowledgeable and sold me the kit in the video. I note they have also gone and embedded it in their website which is nice. Would have preferred a little thank you comment though.

The later 233cc five gear version of that engine had the same pots but taller rods so they weren't as sweet and smooth and revvy. They also had brilliant 5 inch drums, as good as disc but maintenance- free other than replacing the cable every couple of years. The 185 was kick only, the cd200 kick and electric til A reg 83 when they went 12v and cdi and deleted the kick. All versions had enclosed chain and suspension units. Tyres fatter than 300-17 raise the gearing a bit which is good but they're a swine to fit by hand. Yes, I was an enclopedia on these bikes back in't day. The ethos was passed onto to cb450dx which was much softer tuned than the 400 superdream. I had two of those too. The 250 nighthawk is complete poo, really slow.

    the thing in the bottom of the carb that you dont know its an accelerator pump. when you open throttle, a part that act on the butterfly will also push a lever that push a membrane under a spring that will push extra fuel into the carb to enrish when you are accelerating... its just a clever trick to enrich when accelerating. :)
