2009 mods

Post by toolinalong »

I am done now. Except for the ... and the ... and the ... :D

This week I added: an autoswitch 5NB, an LED 5w 1157 style brakelight, LED panel lights (red), a metal oil fill cover thingy, an oil temp gauge, a multifunction LCD info bar (clock, air temp, voltmeter), and 2 new metal valve stem caps.

Oh and I washed her a bit, and changed the air filter.....which was a bit late. Mileage is now at 81400.

Here is a little slide show about my aux light setup, including a circuit diagram; those of you who have not done it yet might find it useful.

Toolinalong,
Nice job, what is the brand and model of oil temp gauge. I would like to do that mod to my bike.

Nice lights and also switches.

I found the Optilux driving lights to be just fine. I have the larger round ones, and I recently put some better H3 bulbs in them (Osram night breaker).
