I did buy the plugs and crimps and crimping tool from Eastern Beaver in Japan so I could put the indicator module in cleanly. But the brake unoit is so easy to install with the connectors supplied. The biggest consideration is where to mount the units. Plan everything and research what you...

Today I installed the STS indicator unit that has been sitting around for about a month. I bought the brake flash unit at the same time and installed that almost as soon as it had arrived as its a doddle to put on. The indicator unit takes a little more time and in another post you can read...

the plugs, crimping tool and crimps arrived by Fedex today, so once I run some fuel down I'll lift the tank and have a good look at how I plan the install. Just need to work on what loops through the new plugs and which pins are (m) and which are (f) in each of the plugs and practice the...

Thanks Chris. I will need to source the plugs from Japan, Joe in NJ couldnt help me and i cant find anyone in Aus that stocks them, but i am wondering what size pins i need to specify when ordering the plugs from Eastern beaver. I figure its prob pretty easy to follow color codes of the bikes...

Hey Chris, I like the idea of not cutting into the harness and just intercepting at an appropriate point. I think I will follow your lead. You wouldnt have a part number I can quote for the connectors would you? I did see the the cycleterminal website but cant find the exact one- they look...

Thanks for the comprehensive :"how to" Chris, I like the idea of using the connector rather than cutting, I'll have to source one here in Aus. The stop unit is a doddle to fit. The hardest bit is finding a spot that is out of the way and away from too much heat. Under the seat on LHside right...

Hi folks, for those of you that are long time members of the forum, you will remember the Wolfman (Jamie Woolford). Jamie had been a very active member of the site up until about 4 years ago. Jamie passed away today, he had been battling the big C and was hopeful he would beat it, but alas it...

Hi folks, just wondering if many riders have fitted the Smart Turn System (http://www.safer-turn.com/) I have just got one and looking for the best spot to locate the unit and best spot to tap into the wiring- particularly on a naked as there is no hiding anything behind a fairing. I'm...

Yeah I have to agree Scott, I have umm'ed and aahh'ed about a shift to another set of wheels. I love riding the XSR 900 - its performance and ergs suit me to a tee but hen I get back on mine and think.... do I need the acceleration, do I need to option up a new bike, do I need the outlay of...

Hi all, I know thatthe seat cowl is one of those mods that many folks really want but the number of second had ones coming up for sale is really low. I just got notification from WEBIKE japan that they have discounted the seat cowl they sell. details below...

I hate stories like this as they come out of nowhere, just like the patch of oil. A saving grace is you get to tell us about it. Buhgger about the bike but glaad you're in one piece. Good luck with repairs or the search for new wheels

Thanks Scott, I get to go for a ride this Thursday, only my 5th time out in 3 months due to this damn virus, at at its on a freeway and to/from Radio so all in all not a bad thing- oh and the weather bureau says it will be dry-BONUS!

Hey thanks Cliff, funny old year to have one of those big ol' "0" birthdays!
