I added a second fuse box below the right "fender" next to the trunklid. Now all my auxilary stuff like lights, power socket, and horn run from a central, easy to reach point, with 5 fuse spots left for future mods. I also redid the complete wiring for all auxilary power consumers with thicker cables, proper soldering and insulation, and tidied it up (relatively) neatly. At least nothing can catch on fire now!
Swapped out the windscreen for the Honda tall one and added the most necessary center stand. The whole shoestring thing worked great. Both accessories took less than 40 mins beginning to end.
Sounds like you have the center stand install down pat. I didn't catch the small spring on my first attempt and had to start the spring install over.
Let us know what you think of the Honda Tall windscreen. I ended up replacing mine due to wind noise.
Bike is at a local motorcycle shop to get a new rear tire installed. I got 11,000 miles on the Conti Motion, which is 3000 more miles than the stock Metzlers which came on it. I probably could have got another 1000 miles on it but due to a soccer mom SUV making a left in front of me (I was going downhill) and sand, gravel in the intersection, the back wheel locked up and I was committed to the brake pressure so I wouldn't T-bone the SUV (successful ), the tire flat spotted and showed the wear cord at the flat spot.
Yep, me too. Lot cheaper than a ride to the hospital or mortuary....I'd take losing 1k miles off a tire over a T-bone. Good job avoiding that accident!
