I don't have a speedo on the bike which is extremely frustrating. I'm looking for threads on installing them since I don't even see the plug on the bike for the gauge.

It's forced me to learn when I'm in neutral the hard way.

I've ordered a new rear tail light, mirrors, helmet, and brake/clutch levers.

There is 3 cut wires I see and I'm worried if that's where it was but it's not close enough to the stock mounting location.

This weekend my friends father will be giving me a hand with that but I haven't found anything online where the plugs should be...then i need to configure a mount for it.

Find your fuses box around the radiator, then follow it to the relays, you should see the plug for the headlights and the gauges. I just shoved mine up in the frame to hide most of the wires.

Will do, thanks for the advice.

I'm pretty sure I found 1 fuse box on the side of the radiator but no luck with any plugs...i'll take a 2nd look though!

Hey guys,

Will a 93-97 CBR 900RR rear brake master cylinder fit my 98 CBR 900RR?

Thanks

Here is my plug for the gauges and headlights etc, as you can see there is relays and whatnot around the gauge clip. The white clip is your gauges.

I sense that wiring the cluster is going to be more of a problem then transferring the title over.

I'm slowly working out the title issue. I'm going to attempt to tackle the cluster this weekend...or at least try to make a dent. I received a few parts in the mail yesterday so I'm excited to start working on her.

I own a 99 and there isn't a lot that transfers over between the bikes. they have 3 different styles in the years. I am looking for a shift drum for mine and that is like looking for gold in the desert.

I have a set of stalk mounted 2 wire signals that you can have.. They aren't anything special but you could bolt them to the headlight bracket or something,,, they would at least help you pass inspection...
