Lights and security - a few tweaks to the Honda CT110 adventure bike.

[@mikeb6431]

Looking forward to the short clips. Have a safe trip and you can never be too careful.

[@MiniBikeMike]

Hey buddy! I’m going to try and do like I did on our recent RV trip, post daily “shorts” with updates and anything interesting we come by. Yes, I’ll be super aware, watching for myself and the other guys.

[@michaelcrosby6071]

Hello Mike rain or shine it still will be a fun adventure

[@MiniBikeMike]

Yes, it will. The guys I’m riding with are a hoot. I’m looking forward to riding with an intercom system.

[@AdventureDad01]

Greetings from the uk. That weather is what passes for a summer day here! 😄😄

[@MiniBikeMike]

🤣 Is humidity a thing there? Now that the rain has passed, it’s like 90° and 90% humidity. I’m sweating, just standing still.

[@AdventureDad01]

We don't really do humidity, it's pretty pleasant once we get above 70 degrees 😁. At the risk of going a bit Hollywood "love your work Mike" 😎

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@AdventureDad01 Thanks!

[@johndavis6596]

Looks like fun have a great ride!

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks!

[@donsoule6411]

The cargo cover/lock fabrication was a good idea and appears to have turned out like you planned. Good job looking ahead and trying to eliminate as many concerns as possible. Thanx for the heads-up on the daily postings. Looking forward to those!!

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks Don. Yes, I’m very happy with cover. I added a thin layer of foam to the inside of the cover, to cut down on the rattling against the Pack Out boxes. Yes, if you haven’t done so, there is a little “bell” by the subscribe button. Hit it so that it turns black and you should get notifications when I post a short or pictures. Thanks!

Daily post/shorts are fun! Safe travels to you guys Mike! Looking forward to the stories 👍🏾

[@mikeatv]

your right.... people will steal anything if they get the chance.... i have Brinks Cable locks on all my bikes and quads in a locked garage....the best defence is good offence

[@Singh_1989]

Beautiful bike! I hope to have my CT90 running and riding with all it's modifications soon, I have loved these bikes since I first gazed apon one.

[@stevev7191]

Nice video you seem pretty thorough have fun

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks. Definitely trying to be prepared for whatever happens on the road.

[@cainbeeping8480]

I like the LEDs. Good idea.

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks. I swapped the taillight back to a regular bulb. With LED’s at both ends, the stator was sending 15.5 volts to the battery. A little high for my liking. When I swapped the taillight, it’s now 13.8 to 14.0volts. Much better.

[@Smallbore2wheels]

I have one of those SAE voltmeter/USB charger on my ruckus. I love it

[@Smallbore2wheels]

Oh man, I would have cut you a QR code decal that could point ppl to your channel

[@MiniBikeMike]

I’m a fan of it also. With both front and rear with LED’s, I was getting 15.5volts, which was a little high for my liking. I swapped a regular bulb back into the taillight and now I’m spot on…..13.8 to 14.0 volts.

[@Smallbore2wheels]

@@MiniBikeMike oof yeah, was the 15.5V idling or actually running?

[@MiniBikeMike]

@Smallbore2wheels Idling was high 13v and it jumped to 15.5v, while riding. I’ve got it down to idling at 12.7v and 13.8v while riding.

[@gerardkenny8408]

Great video and awesome job

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks Gerard!

[@inertiaking03]

Hey Mike, big fan of your videos, I have a solution for your charging problem, use a 6 Pole Stator rather then the 2 Pole stators, put out much more power had a similar problem on my ST90 with a custom wiring harness for my lights/lifan engine, wouldn't charge my battery but after the stator change it sits at 13.5V at idle with no LEDS and have no problems

[@MiniBikeMike]

These seem to be working fine. We’ll go with it and see what happens. As long as the bikes continue to run, lights aren’t that big of a concern.

[@foolonthrn]

Such a cool bike I would definitely sneak that into my hotel room at night

[@MiniBikeMike]

👍🏻

[@yenne1000]

i think 15.5 is a bit to much for a 12v batttery i think no more than 14v for a 12v battery and is the meter accurate? try it with a multimeter to be safe

[@MiniBikeMike]

I was a little concerned myself. Yes, gauge seems accurate. I just got back from a 15 mile ride. I left the LED’s in for the first half and it ran 15.3 / 15.5 volts. I stopped halfway and swapped the taillight back to the regular bulb and it was 13.8 to 14.0 the rest of the way back. I think I’m good now.

[@yenne1000]

@@MiniBikeMike 13.8 to 14 volts is perfect

[@MrTacklebury]

What are the shocks you added? I have an 86 that I may want to do this with.

[@MiniBikeMike]

I used these: amzn.to/45DjT6v

[@TheCbxmaster]

Those headlight bulbs get hot and burn out. I’ve used them before. Sorry to have to tell you.

[@MiniBikeMike]

I’ve got plenty of spares. The first bulb has lasted the 100+ miles I’ve put on it so far, we’ll see how it goes.

[@sailingyemaya9781]

You can hide a Apple AirTag on the bike. If it gets stolen you can track it

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@sailingyemaya9781 One of the guys did put an AirTag on their bike. I found it easier to lock the bike to something, so I didn’t have to take the time to chase it down. It all worked out…..no one bothered the bikes. 👍🏻

my birthday eve

[@MiniBikeMike]

Happy early birthday!

[@danthieman7858]

12 volt honda ct110?

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@danthieman7858 If you watch the build videos, on the 4 bikes we rode 700+ miles, each bike was upgraded with a 12v aftermarket 125cc engine.

[@charlesbroussard9289]

need a back rest cushion

[@MiniBikeMike]

I thought about it, but anymore depth will have me sitting too straight up. It’s pretty comfortable leaning on the aluminum piece I added. I just got in from a 15 mile ride.
