Hello Jim, sorry only just noticed I had a message. Yes I still have it but it looks like you are in the States? As I am in UK the carriage is likely to make it not viable I would think - even if I could find something to pack it in securely. If you can get one for $60 delivered I would go for it

Let's face it the DCT is not brilliant for control in slow tight turns. Yes, I do try to mimic clutch slip by using the back brake pedal BUT IT WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER to be able to use a left hand bar lever as this would allow use of EITHER foot for a quick "dab" on the ground if the DCT...

I actually like it - it's different, futuristic and would definitely turn a few heads. The downsides - I can imagine the buffeting from all that air swept upwards from the chiselled front - it must way a ton (actually just checked the specs - 245kg kerb) - it looks like it does NOT have the...

+1. On that. I have them on mine, cost me £90, they work perfectly and have a nice softish grippy feel to them. I was intending to fit handguards as well but don`t think I really need to now - thumb and first finger do get cool in the wind but not really cold. Relatively easy to fit as...

That's really annoying when you get a worse than DIY job from a dealer - I know, mine were hacked about pretty much the same as yours and I was not happy! As I said to the dealer at the time - if I had known they were going to make such a FU I would have fitted them myself as at least I can...

That's brilliant - a lot easier to follow than the black and white spiders web version! I am still trying to find the colour version of the one for the DCT - anyone point me in the right direction?

I fitted the AME grips a couple of weeks ago - simple to fit as there is no control box - the only tricky bit was getting enough slack on the throttle cables to be able to fit the new cable adapter. They are excellent and are a nice soft, slightly tacky, wavy finish - very comfortable even...

From memory they are 3 pin - but only 2 pins are actually fitted

I wouldn't want to wear someone else's socks - I always insist on wearing my own! Sorry, could not resist!

Basically any electronic converter (like the box in your picture) is going to put some drain on the battery ALL the time it is in circuit EVEN without any load on the output (your GPS). How quickly it drains the battery is down to the quality of design and construction but seeing as 99.99999%...

Superb job - I was thinking of doing that when I got to 8000miles - you beat me to it. The most informative "how to" I have seen in a while!

Well I know what it is cos I have done a lot of rewiring and modifications in exactly that area - but trying to give someone else a go!

If anyone in the U.K. is looking for the 3 & 4 pin connectors to add their own bits to the Acc loom then I have obtained mine from the following supplier - always had good service by the way. Motorcycle Electrical Mini - Connectors 2.8mm - 2 way items in towzatronics store on eBay!

Oh dear, your bike looks sad - what are you doing to it? edit: Ah, just seen what happened on the other thread - oops - hope you have healed now?

You got it - and I did not even have to "steer" you in the right direction (which was going to be the next clue) OK - you're up for the next one.

Apologies for the delay in replying. Here is the next one Not too difficult to find!

Mine is 002341 - X DCT registered June 2013

That looks suspiciously like the part of the pillion seat release linkage mechanism?

He looks like he's got some "attitude". The problem I found was sometimes my moggy obviously did not make it in one leap and "hauled" himself up - nice little claw sized perforations in the seat - so I had to remember to always put a towel over it so as not to get any more extra ventilation...

I meant to add this one in the above post - Charlie waiting for a ride!
