    Today I suceeded in starting my Pulse Adrenaline,after six months of silence, me taking it apart for the fun of it, I pressed the start and the thing fired and ran straight away, sweet. A pal came over on his Yamaha Thundercat to see, and remarked on how smooth the engine ran and revved as it sat there in a cloud of smoke cooking the exhaust paint. Everything works as it should except the indicators stuffed up, that fault traced to the flasher unit, the power transistor had exploded, not surprising really, as it was full of water. At the weekend, I took some pics of it as it was,some of which are below ;

    Still a fair few things to do, little bits and pieces, also fit the chain, but now it has been proved by starting, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Also I have to work out how to fit a rear rack from a 1991 DR650 RSE, the mounting points are the same dimensions as the Pulse, but it is going to need some thought and perhaps a bit of cutting and welding ( fusion welding with a blow torch), but I want it on there, it's massive.

    I know this is a very old post, but no one acknowledged it! Beautiful bike sprocket, you should be proud, inspiring me to get mine sorted! How does she look now? Scott.

    True enough. Curious though... are the rear side panels missing on purpose or were they just not installed at the time photos were taken?

    Either way i think it looks mean! i tried it on mine as mine is off the roaad atm, and it looks good, mine is too messy, sprocket has a clean example! But i imagine even tidy, the side with the batt on wouldnt be as nice, still sweet though!

    Thank You all, and my apologies for not being around for a while, for I was doing other things, college namely, exams and stuff. Anyway, the bike, well it is still not on the road, why, because I cant afford to put it there, I have run out of money for now, so it will have to wait.

    But despite it not being useful as transport, I am still tinkering with things on it, my recent activity being the construction of aluminium side panels for those gaps in the frame where the electrics are behind the air box. Measuring was interesting and forming the shapes, not an exact science, but I am pleased with the result, it serves the purpose I made them for, four plates in 3mm aircraft grade aluminium in total, two of which have been perforated to allow the free flow of air and let high pitched sound out, for behind those plates is my alarm system.

    Me being kind of belt and braces in what I do, it occurred to me no point having a sophisticated and expensive alarm system to protect the bike if all one had to do was reach under a side panel and pull the alarm out, as anyone who knows those bikes will also know behind the air box is the only place an alarm could be fitted, for me it was too vunerable, so I made side plates and fitted them.

    So what have I to do to finish, well adjust the throttle cable, fit handguards, fit rear rack and replace the tyres with something more suitable to the weather that is coming, for I have heard too much about the tyres that are fitted, too many people I have known with these machines have come off in the wet, the report being the tyres are unpredictable and scary.

    The bike as it is now ;

    Oh yeah, I have also made a stainless steel bracket thingy for keeping the speedometer drive cable off the front tyre, but these photos were taken before I had fitted it and the frame fill in panels.

    Next plan is home anodising, reanodise the spare forks and renthal bar I have to a nice red to match the rear spring, then fit my other wheelset which is totally black, not a mix of black and gold as those in the pictures.

    Home anodising is a venture I will undertake for the customising of my poorer two wheeled transportation, that which I am stuck with now, a 1993 Saracen mountain bike also known as a retrobike. When I do the anodising on the mtb, I will also do the stuff for the Pulse, as the colour I need to dye, is red for both.
