Oil tank sight gauge update!!!!

What are these two studs sticking out of the oil tank for??


OH yeah, they are for the oil tank sight gauge. I almost forgot about this project. Our friend Mark set us up with two more samples last weekend at davenport, and they are awesome. The plastic is a lot more clear, and the ejection pin timing is really good. We were having problems with the timing on the pin on the first prototypes, and it is resolved! We should be going into production with in a month!!!YAY



Part of my job is research and development of new products. I take this Job very seriously and had to see if the sight gauge passed the wheelie test. I am happy to report that it worked well.

Oil tank sight guage progress

This morning I checked my email and was pleasantly surprised to see some pictures of the trial run of our new oil gauges. The mold shop is having some difficulties with the center pin coming out of the mold and making a concentric hole. You can see the irregularities in these trial samples.. I know they will get it perfected. It makes me so happy to see a project like this progressing along.


Here is the revised box, I had our shop's website and my blog's address put on the box. Shameless self promotion 101, take notes.
