Just how hard would this be? Is it do-able? Electrical

    I think that I can wait till morning :) thanks man I appreciate it! so essentially you didn't have to really change a ton with it just kind of switch whats already there over and upgrade the speed sensor. good instructions came with it i presume?

    Yeah it was really easy, the hardest part was figuring out how an where to mount the speed sensor but i ended up zip tying it to the fork, and have the magnet on the rotor... I wired the gauges power thru the main aux hookup, the blue wire in the junction in the headlight bucket.

    here is the sensor on my fork

    here is where i tagged in the wire to the aux connection

    as you can see i relocated my ignition switch...

    there she lies...

    Thanks a ton man that looks really good! Could I get a shot of it on? Where did you move your ignition to? And wouldn't putting it on the rotor mess it up? Maybe I misunderstood..

    alright here is where the magnet is located. stuck it there five hundred miles ago, hasnt budged an inch.... i had it there previously because i had a sigma speed bike computer before the vapor.
    [​IMG]
    this feature is why i got rid of the aforementioned sigma speed
    [​IMG]
    and here is the side cover with starter button and ignition... sorry for the dark pic, late and crappy lights in the garage...

    I ordered one of their front fork bracket kits... Yet I didn't even think about that.... damn! Back to the drawing board. I'll probably try and mount it up front down to the left.

    I bought some of those mini signals on (cough) eBay (cough) and it only cost me ~$15 mini led lights if you want to same some time, NOT the best (China = 2-3 weeks) wanna save some money ($15 beats $80 all day) Just a thought

    Really really easy. I did extension wires from the headlight bucket so i could put the stock one back on in the future.

    Hey man I got my kit and going to start putting it on I also ordered those exact lights you recommended as well. Did you have to change any relays or anything or was it just plug and play?


    Also with hooking up the new computer did you use any fuses or just straight to that blue aux power? Does it provide enough?
