Cool, thanks. About how long did it take you (are you technologically retarded like I am)?

Chunderboy, here is a pic using the nuts. I tried the nuts first to see if I liked it, but didn't. I'll try to get one with the spacer.

I already had the tank off, and I'm telephone wiring guy by trade.so I knew a few tricks and knots to get the harness through the bars. ..Not including the clutch cable, because the bike was on a jack and I couldn't drain the transmission, it took me about two hours. I've changed out bars a couple times


Starting from scratch including draining the tank it's about a 4-6 job...Take your time, take pics, and write down the pin codes when you remove them from the connectors.

gunner065,

Gotta tell you, that is a goodlooking clean job. And no problems (knock on wood)?

Opps my bad....

If you cut and splice the existing wires it's a 20 minute job.

That kit comes with new wiring and connectors, but of course it's under the tank..
