Illegitimi Non Carborundum
As I said in this other thread I had a little project that's been on my mind for a while. Mostly just mental images, trying to figure the best ways,. etc.... There will of course be those who think I'm a little F*cked up. You can't argue the fact that being tailgated on a motorcycle is aggravating, if not down right scary depending on the ***** cager that is behind you. So I submit to you gentlemen and ladies for your entertainment the result of one afternoon of total boredom coupled with around 9 beers, about $95.00 worth of materials and supplies, one very understanding wife, and just enough knowledge in the fields of low voltage wiring,circuits, hydraulics, and total mischief to be moderately dangerous and downright vengeful!
The Latest in rear defense systems for your FJR's and others in the stable if you should so deem them worthy
BEHOLD!
The necessary supplies for this project.
This of course is the "heart" of the project. A compact 12v in-line fuel pump that will deliver approx 20 psi at the nozzles.
These are the cheesy led windshield washer nozzles you see on the kids cars that think they missed their casting call for The Fast and the Furious!
We don't want to fry our fire button
This was all I could find at Advance Auto, we may need a substitute because its damn big and I don't know if I can hide it too well.
First we need a fire button! It has to look cool after all. sorry this picture is grainy.
I wanted a mounting location that was slightly inclined so I got good trajectory with the fluid. This seemed to be a good location.
Now the problem I ran into was the license plate light wouldn't fit in there now, because of the nozzle inlets.
OHHHH Mr. Dremellllll
No Problem fits like a glove now.
OK now we need to mount the pump.
Seems like it'll be alright but we need to lose the pretty green case on that pump because it takes up valuable space and serves no purpose. BTW that silver pump there is for my stebel air horn.
This is the plumbing going in to the under seat area
This is where I drilled holes to bring the plumbing in
....and those two hoses are t'd together to get fed from the pump
Warning the next 4 images are not for the faint of heart.
Because I couldn't come up with a good spot for the tank I had to take drastic meaures...
You only live once, and its only one 7/32" hole tightly sealed.
As you can see I opted for a slightly smaller tank. this was a little one that was in a junk box I had.
and the bag still fits even with all the crap I keep in it.
This is a little transition between rear tail and Side bag in case you couldn't tell what you were looking at.
we are hooked up and plumbed, our relay is up and running and I think its time for a test.
Note the cheesy blue LED lighting...
And now without further adieu..........These videos may be slightly anticlimactic and lack certain production value, but you get the idea.

OK so I've accomplished "Oil Slick" next project will be SMOKE SCREEN!
I wish I had the patience to wait until Friday to post this, but I surely don't!
