Installed super sport (clutch mod) and ABS-off switches. Soldered the connections directly to the OEM clutch switch plug. Ran wiring to the fuse block and placed the 30 amp ABS fuse in-line so that I could "pull the fuse" by flipping the switch to shut off ABS when necessary. I ran extra wire in case I want to move the wiring later. Best $25 mod I have ever done.
Is there a necessity for a 30 amp fuse?

Finally got OEM set of panniers. Still waiting on OEM tank bag and pannier liners.
Now I just need heated grips and I'm set for the winter ::001::

I am painting my five gal flat bed fuel cell today. To be installed later today. ;) . Custom design by Ernie Azevedo

www.eazcycle.com for contact info, but the web site is still under construction.

Pics to follow. ::008::

In fabrication progress


Painting, (chose to paint instead of anodize or powder coat due to time constraints, but both of those options are available.



Finished cell on bike. 4.8 Gal. Works great, gives me a 400 mile range on the bike, conditions and speeds being variable.







Fitting at rear right corner is a tip over valve as well as vent. A check ball prevents fuel loss if the bike is on it's side or worse. The flash light holder is something I wanted, but this could be adapted for any accessory you have that fits in that area. Or simply drilled and tapped for some general purpose use. I wanted a very direct fuel line run, so did some minor modifications to the aluminum seat bracket and plastic trays to allow the fuel line to run as shown. The filter sits out behind the seat for excellent visual inspection and the marine drybreak fittings under the seat allow for quick removal of the fuel cell, if desired.

The fuel line from the main tank back to the drybreak fitting is long enough that you can still raise the tank for air cleaner/spark plug or other service.

Note that the fuel cell is bolted to the bike at four points, two up front and two in the rear that go thru tubes to spacers welded to the tank at the bottom. This is mounted with the factory rack in place, with four additional rubber pads in the rack holes for some buffer, but solid to the bike.

That's a Florida Tire for sure. Look at allllll that rubber on the sides that's begging to be used.

Installed an old airplane GPS the other day. Had a "yoke" mount that I was able to fab into a handlebar mount. It works pretty good in automotive mode too.

The 30 amp is on the ABS circuit. Yes, it's needed.
Ahh, I see. I didnt realize that you are switching off the module. I thought you were switching the circuit for a sensor.

It's the easiest circuit to get to.

I like this Eric looks very well made. Great work and spot on info. Could do with its own thread ::008::

What tire pressure are you running F/R? I'd love to get 11k out of a tire... of course, I know the answer has nothing to do with tire pressure but I'm hoping I can extend the life a little.
