    Oh. Forgot , higher risers, clear lenses and Orange globes for indicators, main headlight also HID with hi/low globe 35w, trailer towing bracket came as tow ball, I and a friend, Paul cut the rear off and built a block and pin 360 degree swiveling mounting, by law in Australia trailers must have a break away safety chain, but my block and pin make's this redundant but you can't convince the vehicle examination board eh! I also have quick disconnect 25amp 12v supply cable attachment from bike to trailer, when camper is hooked up I have 40amps available !!! Camper has all Led lights and DSCF2758.JPG 3 12v power outlets, cigarette style. All lights stop,tail,indicators, side clearance and cargo bay area are Led on both my trailers !

    My dyno tune is available @ tuneecu web site, suitable for america or speedmaster, with after market hi flow Air filter, snorkel removed and short open mufflers ( mine Forans ) but will be OK for most. Good start point/trial before doing your own dyno setup.

    Is that an after market ignition switch mounted inbetween the handlebars, I do like the position of that I hate having to lean down while sat on the bike to turn the ignition on.

    No, its the original. I just added extra length to the wires and made a simple aluminium plate as the mounting.

    Hi Brian, yes its the original, I just added length to the wires. I unplugged the ignition cable ( found under the seat ) cut the plug off, I mounted the ignition on the bracket, loosened one cap/stirrup at a time , remove cap and grind back about 1/2 mm remount and repeat. Mounted bracket and switch, ran the wires under the tank back to original plug placement, rejoin the ignition switch to plug. You can't push the plug through the small gap available along side the wiring harness! So only option is running wires through and rejoin ( solder & heat shrinking ).
    Cheers Mick.
