I got the same mirrors fitted the same way, the feel as if they should be that way. How have you wired the flushmounts and mirrors together?

I Spliced them together with cable shoes to the original Wiring via the LED relay that was there from the old miniblinkers. I had to remove a good deal of the insulation from the wire, because it's so thin that I had to twist the wire with itself to make it thick enough, so the cable shoe would sit firmly to the wire.. :P It was just a matter of putting all the positive wires togheter, and the negative ones together. And use a healthy portion of black insulation tape so that they don't come apart.. hehe |
Braided Brake Lines

Bought some HEL braided brake Lines a while back, but due to a little vacation Riding Route 66 I haven't gotten around to installing them before now...
Attachment 45184 And this shows that is was way overdue to change the brake-fluid: Attachment 45185 New Rear Brake-Line: Attachment 45186 Attachment 45187 Old vs New Front Brake-Lines: Attachment 45188 Attachment 45189 Attachment 45190 Attachment 45191 Since I bought the two-line setup, with two seperate Brakelines going to the front brakes, I needed to make new mounting points: Attachment 45192 I also bought some new fairing parts: Old Side fairing insert, that previous owner tried to fix with White-Out or something: Attachment 45193 Attachment 45194 New: Attachment 45195 Old vs New Tail-Fairing: Attachment 45196 Attachment 45197 Old Tail-Fairing: Attachment 45198 |

Well time to bring this one back to life then..
I've just been riding the bike the last couple of years.. and the things that have been done, is just regular service, and fitted new tyres, Metzeler Roadtec Z8 front and rear.. And went from a 180 rear tyre fitted by the prevoius owner to the original 160.. It was a completly different bike to ride.. the turn in to corners was so much smoother and gives much better feedback.. The main reason for dragging this thread back to life, is that I'm in the process of converting to the f4i gauges.. I've gotten the schematics from the Service manual for the f4i Which has these colour codes Temp (-)---G / Bu------Green / Blue Speed------P / G-------Pink / Green Ign (+)-----Bl / Br------Black / Brown Illumi (+)---Br / W------Brown / White Batt (+)----R / G-------Red / Green Fi Ind (-)---W / Bu-----White / Blue Tacho------Y / G-------Yellow / Green Oil (-)------Bu / R------Blue / Red Turn R(+)---Lb----------Light Blue Hi Beam (+) -Bu---------Blue Neutral (-)--Lg / R-------Light Green / Red Turn L (+)---O----------Orange (-)----------G----------Green Sensor (-)---G / Bl------Green / Black Res. Sens---Br / Bl-------Brown / Black Side Stand--G / W------Green / White F3: Coolant Temp----------Green / Blue Speed Sensor----------Pink / Green Ign (+)-----------------Black / Brown Illumi (+)---------------Brown Batt (+)----------------Red / Green Tacho-----------------Yellow / Green Oil (-)------------------Blue / Red Turn R(+)--------------Light Blue Hi Beam (+)------------Blue Neutral (-)-------------Light Green / Red Turn L (+)-------------Orange (-)--------------------Green Sensor (-)-------------Green / Black Side Stand-------------Yellow / Black (-)--------------------Green Speedo (-)------------Pink Which gives me these Connections: -----------------F4i--------------F3 Temp (-)----Green / Blue------Green / Blue Speed-------Pink / Green------Pink / Green Ign (+)------Black / Brown-----Black / Brown Illumi (+)----Brown / White-----Brown Batt (+)-----Red / Green-------Red / Green Fi Ind (-)----White / Blue------Not Used (Side Stand Yellow / Black) Tacho-------Yellow / Green----Yellow / Green Oil (-)-------Blue / Red--------Blue / Red Turn R(+)----Light Blue---------Light Blue Hi Beam (+)--Blue --------------Blue Neutral (-)---Light Green / Red--Light Green / Red Turn L (+)---Orange-----------Orange (-)----------Green-------------Green Sensor (-)---Green / Black------Green / Black Res. Sens----Brown / Black------Not Used Side Stand---Green / White------Yellow / Black This means that on the Wiring harness on the F3 there's one Pink and one Green wire, that's not used. I've read that the pink one should be grounded to the chassis. The Other Green should just be left unused. And that the Batt (+) Red / Green should use an 10 a fuse. Some pictures to follow :P Connecting the new cables from the f4i to a 8-pin PCIe power cable, using marine grade connectors that you melt with a heating gun: Attachment 30960 I wanted to reuse an orginal housing, to keep the look as OEM as possible, so i used my router to make som templates in mdf, before making the insert inn 6,5mm plexi: Attachment 30961 Attachment 30962 Just put it in, to se approx what it will look like. The Plexi will be painted black, to match the rest of the housing, and nothing is glued together in that picture, everything is just pushed together. Attachment 30963 How it looked when I called it a night yesterday: Attachment 30964 |

Starting to see the end of the gauge swap now.
Reused the second part of the housing, to get the mounting tabs, angle and height as close to oem as possible: Attachment 30797 Used 6,5mm plexi that I plastic-welded to the housing to mount the f4i gauges. when I cut out the front of the old housing, I also cut away some of the mounting points for the back piece, so I had to fabricate some mounting points: Attachment 30798 Ready for paint: Attachment 30799 New vs Old: Attachment 30800 |
nice job on the guage swap .remindes me of mine project. did about the same.then i redid and made it flush
|
Very and i mean VERY clean bike. Love all of the little mods
|
Thanks guys :)
I've also added a K&N filter and replaced the windscreen with a Zero Gravity one. ( I had a cheap double bubble screen before, but it looked just wrong ;) ) Because the bike is 15 years old, and had a hard life before it came to me it seems.. I'm constantly on the lookout on ebay for bits and pieces to make it better looking. |
