March 25th

We met Vince for brunch (it takes him forever to get out of bed in the morning), where we chatted about converting the YSR to 12v - basically I can't get my head around how it's supposed to ever work with 6v.  So, in the afternoon I tinkered with some stuff.  The engine seems to put out ~10v (AC) at tickover, so it would seem that I just need to replace the regulator, horn, bulbs, battery and flasher relay to get to 12v.  It's an interesting idea, so I'm going to start collecting parts and see what I can make happen :o)
