I'll start with
the basics first, my homemade mirror, cost me two bucks for the convex stick-on
at o'reillys and $0.00 for some scrap metal layin' around the garage.
|
And the control
switch. Very unintrusive, as minimal as it gets.
|
One of the two
banjo bolt brake switches.
|
Under fender
shot, minimal amount of wire exposed to tire-flung-crud.
|
Wired close to the right of sub frame, but far left engough so that when I stick my fingers into the handle to pick up the bike, they don't touch or pull the wires.
|
Radioshack harness, for the quick swapout of fenders for some good ole dirt.
|
Here's where all the taillight wiring is tucked away. I ran the rear brake switch wires up the frame, but behind my frame guards, pretty slick, eh?
|
LED taillight.
|
Running light.
|
Brake light.
|
Pretty clean wiring, I might say.
|
Another shot of what I consider to be clean wiring.
|
Another wiring harness from good ole Radio shack, cost me a buck somethin', certainly makes swapping plastic easy. This I would consider NOT-so-clean wiring.
|
Here's a head shot.
|
Low beam.
|
High beam.
|
And there are the only two leads left to be hooked up, my coil has been on order for two weeks now, geeze, Eline is SLOW, can't wait for their product though.
|
Anybody need a steering damper?? This is the one and only conflict I had with the whole installation.
|
Here's a blurry shot of the whole thing.
|
Oooo, billet aluminum, very trick.
|
I tried to run everything together. Puke tubes, ignition wires, and coil wires.
|
Brown and yellow, the only things sticking out, I tucked the voltage regulator in front of the CDI box in the frame.
|
All out dual sport. Got my compy and my GPS.
|
Ooo, new rubber...
|
I fixed the problem of the wires sticking out from behind the light.
|
Okay, here is
the final set of my 450 before I sold it for a real street bike. I really
got tired of getting pulled over by cops. Never got a ticket though, pretty
amazing, eh? It would have even been amazing if I rode normally and didn't
get any tickets, but alas, that bike was TOO MUCH FUN, and seriously, that's
why I had to sell it. My rides consisted of about 4 stoppies and 7 wheelies
every 2 miles or so. I cannot believe I never got caught, had a few close
calls though |
| Man, I remember this one time, I was merging on to 199 north from 380 west just outside of Jacksboro, and I had just came around the curve, doing about 65, and I stood up about to twist the ole' grip and I saw out of the corner of my eye a cop coming flying up out of no where and pulled me over. There was a dirtbike race in Jacksboro that weekend, so he thought I was some redneck riding my dirt bike on the road... well, I was, but he couldn't do shit about it. HA! He even checked my VIN and ran it against the license plate :) Nothing he could do though, well, almost, good thing I didn't stand it up and give him a quick little 30 second show.
Well, here she is, notice my homemade kickstand and passenger/wheelie pegs. I almost bought a pair of 17" wheels for it, but I'm glad I didn't... lost my arse on it enough as it was with all the accessories I left on it. Sure wish I had parted it out, but hindsight is 20/20.
