Snake - a never ending story - Part 3 : Snake III misc.

As the back wheel had a big gear sprocket I had to make one up myself.
Made from a blank sprocket.
I drilled some holes to make it lighter, using the same pattern as the rear brake disc.

Rather temporary - but it will do for now. The rear light and the numberplate.
Rear light is made from an original XS 650 SE rear light. Cut and reduced in height. Double bulb. Vibration will be a serious problem - I have to look into that!

The small battery. Saving weight was a primary goal. We all know what an original 14Ah battery weighs.
With the compression of the engine it is not possible starting it electrically anyway, so all I need is enough juice for the coils.
Tied to the frame is the expansion chamber for the rear shock absorber.

original rpm counter, and sigma speedo (goes up to 300Km/h, so I got a little to spare)
This needs some refining - but you get the idea of where it is going.
