P1000m5 Traveller II

Oh yeah, warn finally got the winch parts sent to me. I quickly finished up the rear winch and I'm super satisfied with the results. The winch is a Warn 4000#. I just added synthetic rope and will see if it survives the muffler heat.

I've had enough of the lack of tie down points. McMaster has these rings for $1.05. Did I add enough?!



I then added some smaller rings to the outside. These are pretty weak rings that I used in hopes they break before pulling the thread insert out of the plastic. They should be good for the bungee cargo net or bungee cords.

 

[joeymt33]

Oh yeah, with all these rings in the bed...I now sound like I got a bed full of cow bells. I'll cut some small pieces of tubing for insulation soon.

I promised I would video the first test of the rear winch. Here it is...

It does flex and then return back. After seeing this I looked at the front winch on Farm Rig and it actually flexes more. I can't remember now which mount I used but it flexes twice as much!

I took many measurements before and after, so far nothing has moved permanently.

Dude really! I think you need 10 more! LOL!

Yeah, I tend to over react when I'm pissed about something. Haha

 

[Bubba]

You can worry about something else now , you got the tie down covered!

What circuit breaker you have in there? 300?

It did not trip the 300amp CB. I thought it would??

You guys may want to add some holes in the bottom of your doors. I drilled three small holes in the bottom of my doors but they still felt heavy so today I drilled larger holes in this water come out. This is water from the July 4 ride so it's been in there for over a week.

Added a new throttle body adapter plate today. It's 4mm bigger like the African Twin.

You can take your throttle body plate to someone with a machine shop and have them bore it out. Below are the pics.

You probably can't tell from this picture but it is 4 mm larger


The shorter version has been bored out. The one on the left has the extension that goes down inside the throttlebody and reduces the diameter.


This is a picture of the bored out throttlebody on top of the unmodified throttlebody.

 

[joeymt33]

So did it do anything? I made probably a dozen speed runs in the same place I had before. I did several before changing the body and several after. It actually does seem to accelerate harder after the throttlebody has been bored out. And I gained 1 mph going up a hill. Now what what does that mean in HP? Have no idea but it helps.

I tried that SC1 the other day, not bad. It cleaned it up nice and has stayed shiny.

Traveller can be seen here in rare form. I caught him in the shop practicing ballet to improve his sure-footedness on the trail. Kinda like running backs take a few ballet lessons.

So the reason it's on its side is because last Monday I changed the oil and found that there was no spring between the engine filter and cover. s***! I've been 100 hours or ~450 miles like that. I finished the oil change and got the spring a few days later. So I turned it on its side so I can remove the cover and install a new spring without loosing oil.
