Nice work. I really like the idea that you bought all that stuff in advance as you found good deals. What's next?
This morning (Sunday) I went in to my office in Oakland to catch up on a little work. Whenever I go in on weekends I go by motorcycle to mix business with pleasure. I came home at about noon and when I popped out of the Caldecott Tunnel heading towards home I noticed a BMW motorcycle up ahead in the fast lane. He was going 80-85 so I figured he could run interference for me. I followed him for a few miles but when he exited I didn't want to be going 85 all by myself so I began to slow a little. Just then I noticed another motorcycle coming up rapidly from behind so I moved over to let him pass. A young guy on a sport bike with a girl on the back came flying by me. Their protective gear was helmets, that's it. He was in a T-shirt, shorts, tennis shoes and no gloves. She was in short shorts (she looked pretty good!) and a tank top and they were moving. I had slowed to about 75 when about 10 seconds later I saw a black SUV coming up very quickly in the fast lane. Well, the SUV was the Highway Patrol and at first I thought he was after me for going 85 but he was after the sport bike. His light bar came on and sure enough just down the freeway at my exit, there they all were at the side of the road. I think I dodged a bullet on that one. 100+, two-up and half-naked on a wailing sport bike is a lot more noticeable than 85 on a mild-mannered NC.
I probably told stories like that, too, back when I was in high school.
started to install my Denali D2 lights. Got as far as taking off all the left side plastic to access the wiring and started to install the light mount on my Givi Crash bars but one of the provided bolt/mounts was stripped out from the factory. Very pissed off as now I have a disassembled motorcycle in the middle of my garage and it may take several days to get a replacement from Twisted Throttle. for the price of this stuff this shouldn't happen. I only hope I can remember hot to reassemble all the plastic bits back together after several days, there was quite a bit of taking things apart to get it off!
And I never did find a wire that feeds the bright light back towards the harness area, so I'm still working on that part
Well I kind of ran out of daylight as you can see.
I'm pretty much done with most of the 'hardware', the only thing left in my bolt-on toy box is the Kakao Throttle lock.
I'm delaying that until I get more experience with the DCT's throttle etc...
I have a pile of electronics already bought, ready to put in it including:
Subharness, Relay Kit, Heated Grips (2015 style... might not work, may have to wire differently)
12V Frunk Socket
Dual Front and Rear Cameras
Scorpio i900R Alarm
Denali SoundBomb Horn
On the 'To Buy List' Is:
Power Distribution Thingy, maybe PDM60, maybe fuze block.
Lithium Battery
Luggage/Bags/Racks - probably the black Givi Outback Trekker, will order from Italy, cheaper, have to wait for 2016 fitment/parts.
Additional Front Driving Lights / Honda Light Bar (Denali D2 / D4)
Gear Brake / Extra Brake LED Lights
