Is the rhythm guitar guy "Lil' ED"? haha. Man I love the Blues. Spent a long summer on the Mississippi river just outside of Memphis. I would ride in and go listen to the BEST blues is the world, every night:) Ahh memories....


The hook on the wall isn't quite up to the task for the helmet and jacket, so I've been looking for a neat coat rack with no luck. Today my shoulder hit the SX bars on the shelf and my brain actually was working at the time.

Spare EBR parts + 2" 304 brushed stainless exhaust tube + chopped up aluminum diamond plate shelf + some bolts =

Voila:

Someone much cooler than me should have this, but I like it! Theres enough extra parts to make a XBS one too! Heck, maybe I'll turn it into a 55w LED lamp:anonymous:

That's cool! My wife would never let me put something like that inside the house.

LOL!!:eagerness: I like the rack. Clever. Yes LiL Ed! He has some cool tunes. Mastercharge, Icicles in My Meatloaf to name a few. I'm always trying to see some good blues. We have the Poor House Bisto, and Little Lou's BBQ here for live music. In the summertime I look for blues festivals to ride to.

LMAO - yep! When she replies “why do you need another one?” I go out and get a new girlfriend.

My daughter suggested I get six matching motorcycles, that way I’d have a complete dining room table set.
 
When my son first got his XB9 Firebolt we were doing some trouble shooting. Decided to make this break out box (referenced in the shop manual. PA251851.jpg
 
I did find the secret to happiness...


Get a woman that is successful...good in bed...and smart,
BUT THE secret is to never let those 3 women meet!!


I made an electron slide....
They climb the ladder jump to the slide, go to the bottom and run back up to do it again....

What is the box on the bottom? Transformer? It looks like the current starts at the bottom, charges a cap, which then discharges to the next and works it way up the copper connector, then back down the white wire (slide)?

Disclaimer - 34:19 only knows enough about this kind of stuff to realize I shouldn't be doing this kind of stuff unsupervised. I'd be like the Mehdi Sadaghar guy from Youtube and his "FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pmfr5CGDKY

Anymore details on that break out box?

It's like a pass through. Instead of probing wires or back probing connectors the box is connected between the wiring harness and the ECU. So to test various functions you connect your VOM to various numbered receptacles per the shop manual. Cost me about $60 +/- to make.

A detailed write up on this would be pretty awesome.

This is where I got the info on how to make it. https://www.hdtimeline.com/threads/info-on-breakout-box.19295/ I think some of it is dated (radio shack is no longer in business etc). There are a couple of electronic surplus stores in San Jose. I got the mini jacks there (didn't use banana jacks). I can get more detailed with the build if requested. I don't have the shop manual here to show the various trouble shooting flow chart.
 
Ah. Those are one of those things that you dont use often but thankful when you need it.

I see the vid at work, is that electroboom? I like his channel.

The box on the bottom is a tesla lighter, or arc lighter. That puts around 3Kv. The combination of caps and diodes multiply the voltage. It makes you dance when you touch it. I like lightning and the smell of ozone...:black_eyed:
Red wires are high voltage rated, like mini spark plug wires. Those feed the tower from the bottom. the top load, copper pipe, is connected to the last stage and the 'slide' is connected to the beginning and is just the return. Lighter is usb rechargeable.
Gotta build a tesla coil one day. Check out singing tesla coils on youtube.
Circuit is a basic Voltage multiplier
I've made these before but I saw Jay's style of building on youtube Plasma Channel so I copied it, never thought about using those lighters.....wonder what else I could use them for.....

It's a Scorpion 1909. I got from Revzilla. Never tried that brand before that but I am highly impressed! Fully armored once I added a back pad, really nice vented perf sleeves, and zip-in liner I rarely need. It earned a spot as my daily go to. Very comfortable and always has a ton of bugs on the chest:love_heart:
