Homemade mods

Oh I like this, when you get the bike back together I would love to see pic of the whole thing, if it's clean enough I want to do it.

[lawmaster891]

it took me 2 days to do. would have been done quicker but i checked valves and changed belts while i had it apart. ill post picks of it back together

[lawmaster891]

Here it is back together, the zipties on the frame arent really necessary but i tend to go ziptie crazy, also after modifying the harness i wrapped the wires in hockey tape. It looks better than electrical tape IMO and doesnt leave sticky residue or come un done over time

I did my wiring harness after I saw yours...thanks for the pics...I didn't need any zip tie though...

And ...that's how you mount the horn...gotta change mine now 

[lawmaster891]

Hey no problem glad the pix helped. Now lets see some pix of yours!

[seanster]

Hehe...soon...i took off my stock rearset to get it powder coated...when i put it back on i over tightening the bolt and broke the darn thing....a member from the forum willing to help by sending me one he had laying around...still a mess...i will post pics when i clean it up...

Hey do u know the wire colors match up for the front brake switch from the lever connecting to the main harness....i forgot which color go to which when i disconnected it....i know one is ground but both wires neither of them is black.

[lawmaster891]

hmm thats weird i just went out and looked at the colors of the front brake switch on my bike and one wire is black and the other is either light blue or grey its hard to tell.

Yes..the wire from the lever switch is black and gray.
The two from the main harness are red/back purple/gray i think...

Which one do you connect to which...thank you for looking it up.

hey i just noticed...where is your choke and throttle cables 

[lawmaster891]

lol I have FCR carbs so i have no choke. an the throttle is a different one with the fcr's so the cable is rerouted

Some of you may remember last fall when this happened:



Resulting in this:



So over the winter I made a new undertray out of some spare diamond tread I had laying around.



Before mounting the new rectifier/voltage regulator, I went ahead and used 3 packages of CPU heat sink compound in the hopes of using the new undertray as a sort of oversized heat sink.



Bolted it up and there she sits.



In the picture above you may also notice a square relay mounted just forward of the ECU. That provides power to the heated grips I installed. To mount the switch, I took some of the leftover diamond tread and made a makeshift dash. I may fashion another one that hides the wires a little better, but this'll work for now.
