Are those shotgun shells plugging the holes in your frame? I heard of other people using them, and I love the idea, but couldn't find the right gauge to fit!

22 gauge IIRC

22 gauge IIRC

20 gauge shotgun shells are the correct size.  Just go to a skeet or trap shooting range and there should be plenty laying around.  I have them in my frame.  You just need to cut down the plastic a bit to make it fit.

.22 is a rifle/ handgun caliber

If you can't find any just send me a PM and I'll round some up and send them out.

Ahh...wanted to say 20 but glad you clarified that.

do you have it on your side frame? and the tail-chop plugs also? they are the same size?

if that's the case can you put me down for 8? 3 on each side and 2 for the tail-chop.  Thanks!

[MikeZ]

I just have them in the tail-chop.  If you can verify the sides are the same I'll get 8 for you.
I think the sides are larger though. At least from memory they seem larger to me

Windscreen support brackets for 07 S4RS. I don't like poorducrider's painted brackets so I made my own out of aluminum to match the clutch and break reservoirs' mounting hardware. It took less than 15 minutes to make using a strip aluminum bought from Lowe's for a few bucks.

Those fairing stays are nice - do they fasten to the reservoir brackets? Tough to tell from the pics. I'm putting this on my list!

[supperduc]

Yes, they are bolted to the reservoir brackets' existing holes.

Thanks for the help! There is a range on base, but they do a thorough job cleaning up after every weekend, so I couldn't find anything but a few 12 gauge shells rusting in the garbage can. I'll keep looking though. Living in TX, I assume there should be shotgun shells laying everywhere!
(Just a joke. If any Texans read this, I love Texas and agree it is the greatest country in the world!)

so I went down a couple weeks ago...in the process my headlight bucket (with projector retrofited) got damaged.  Upper fairing did not break due to it's a carbon fiber piece....so to get it back to the way it was

I install the new danmoto gauge, got the dual headlight set up, and install the 769 front fairing.  Here are some pics...

Sad to see that headlight setup go, it looked SICK the way it was! That said, the new look is killer too, and more modern looking (+ or - up to you).

How difficult of a process was this? You mentioned it all in one breath like it took 5 minutes, but usually when I have to deal with wiring or anything electric, I tend to just end up 

[seanster]

Thanks Fred! Changing things up a bit kinda cool.

And Thanks T for the awesome deal on the fairing as well as the superb shipment & packaging.

About the Danmoto gauge, it took me approx 3 days on and off figuring the wires and mounting the thing.  Fairing easy because the gauge came pre-wired all up inside there so all you need to figure out is which wire from ur stock harness go to which color coded wire from the Danmoto.  I went another route by purchased a crashed stock gauge same year and model of my bike. I savaged the stock piggie tail and connect all the danmoto wire to it....since its the stock pig tail, i can just plug it right into my stock harness of the bike.  Its easy is because my bike doesnt have the iimmobilizer built into the dash....find out if urs do before doing this.

Took about 3 hours to mount the fairing...harder than i thought it would be.

[seanster]

All credits go to DC, he did all the work, I just supply stuff for him....but man I'm excited to get it back...

and yeah I have been on this Homemade thread quite a bit these days...

[Bertie]
