Default Re: botched frankenstein????

I was going to put a solo unit on my curvy and mount the pointy rear lights upside down. The wife at the time though decided she wanted to go pillion so the project never went ahead.

The rear light is not the only good thing from a pointy. the clocks are too. But that's all.

I thought there were problems in compatability when swapping the clocks between the pointy and curvy I could be wring but i thought it was something to do with the speedo sensor been anologue as opposed to digital.

Speedo sensors are both digital.

I have put GSXR K1 speedo on mine. Works fine, only problem is tacho jumps about a bit, I think it needs an inductive pickup rather than direct.

So a straight swap is possible provided you modify/self build a surround/mount for it.

Which is the exact same problem with the pointy clock on a curvy.

None of that, it bolts on fine, electrically it needs the changes.

heres the latest pics, almost done, but needs bracing up as the vibes at tickover make it shake a little.





heres under the seat, limited room to what was there, got to mount the electrics, might make up a little plate for the box to sit on.



Ive also made up 2 infill panels to go either side of the rear light, yet to be fitted.

Looking good

Why have you got a numberplate bracket fitted on top of your numberplate bracket ?
