Took the bike my mother gifted me before passing away out of storage to give it a new life. I have been getting miles of joy out of it since the ever continuing upgrades. Once I have my work shop setup again I intend on making a custom length wiring harness for the frame. I wish the fireXCpro tyres came with a blue sidewall option, but I'll rock a somewhat patriotic color scheme.
My ancient APH homemade designs still kicking,
Agitator IV is a dual nozzle water cannon repurposing the fill valve at the rear as a 2" diameter firing nozzle when the soaker is rotated 180 degrees to a shoulder firing position.
Megalodon is a pool siphon air chamber gun based on the Max D series of soakers. Long story short, while my kids are topping off their pool guns, the pool is my reservoir
Long story short, I've been itching to make a homemade CPS gun using a corrosion resistant all metal construction, but now with a few 3d printers at my disposal I'm thinking about revisiting this idea and have pulled out the firing valve I've set aside for this day. Keeping vintage CPS soakers functioning in 2026 is not ideal for their longevity.
So I guess what I'm asking is, are home made frowned upon here or is there any interest in sharing my progress designing a new CPS Homemade?
