So I got my gauges Saturday and I got them installed today just before some trail riding. So far I like them and the mount, though temporary, is a great location. I dumped it pretty good today (muddy as hell!), and the cluster didn't move!

It was pretty simple to install, just a bunch of little stuff, overall a neat project. The temp sensor is a wire-feed bras ring that replaces the spark plug washer, the speedometer and odometer are magnetic. The sensor is installed by drilling into the caliper (yeah, wasn't terribly happy about it but it's all good, 1/8" hole), and secured with a self tapping screw. The magnet is a bolt that replaces the stock rotor bolt. The RPM readings are achieved by simply wrapping a wire (runs to cluster) around the spark plug coil. Pretty cool!

It even has a shift indicator (leftamber LEDand max RPM indicator (right red LED). Took about 2 hours (plug was a BITCH!).

Lemme know what ya think! Fenders and moto kit arriving this week - project "completion" by Friday!

 

Well, that's a start. Can't wait to see it all together!

 

that thing will be sweet when its all done.

 

Cool Cool. I want to see the finished product for sure. It would not be a good idea for me to have a motard bike on the street because i can wheelie a 4 stroke dirt bike like crazy. I would get a ticket in the first few days LOL!

 

Yeah the wheelies make it tough. Soo easy and you can just hang out on one wheel all day long.

4-stroke single cylinders FTW!

Grrr... tracking numbers haven't changed since Saturday. Damn I'm impatient.

 

Does the caliper change when you put on the larger rotor? Or is it just the mounting that changes?

 

Nah it's a billet relocator. I've seen two possibilities of what the new (320mm - DANG that's big for dirt!), rotor could be and I'm hoping it's the wave rotor. Looks trick as all get down.

P.S. I ended up finding an 03 450R rear fender with plate light/holder, tail light and turn signals at the last minute. I went ahead and grabbed it instead of the KTM fender, as this should bolt right up.

CBRCRF, you got some old wheels laying around? Don't need hubs or spokes as I plan on replacing them if I can find a decent set of wheels. I'm rocking 18" out back and 21" up front. What are the 250's? I'm guessing pretty similar.

I'm really on the hunt for some 16" front and rears.

 

Sorry. Im still rocking my stockers. All my dough is going to the CBR. I do have a buddy that has spare wheels and spokes. But I doubt he will part with them for free. My CRF is 21 front and 19 rear.

 

Heh, nothing's free.

If he happens to want to make some cash, shoot me a PM. Thanks!

 

No problem. Ill talk to him tonight for ya.
