^ For sure. I think automotive door edge protectors will work well for that spot. Any other hole wire passes through I'll use rubber grommets.
Good choices. I figured I was preaching to the choir given how meticulous your build has been, but figured a reminder couldn't hurt… Really looking forward to how you treat the airbox and blend it in to the lines of the bike. That is going to be an awesome bike.
A little slow on the fab work. Waiting on a DPST switch for my ignition to finish up the wiring. Also decided to replace the factory gauge cluster. Order in to Dakota Digital for a new gauge.
But some parts showed up a few weeks ago. So I mocked them up to be sure they will work.
Rizoma grips. Fit perfect. Would fit a stock XB no problem. The throttle side comes with several different adaptors, and the brake side is universal. I also installed the levers. I used CRG folding levers. The clutch side is a roll a click and a direct fit for the factory Buell clutch perch. The brake side is for my Brembo.
These showed up too.... new front rotor and hardware, and a new pulley and belt guard.
Looks awesomei see your in NY, where about?
Western NY.
Got the rear wiring complete. I used a low profile fuse holder for the main fuse because the factory one was to big to fit anywhere neatly. I also extended the fuel pump and rear brake light switch with new wiring and shrink wrapped the harnesses so I could locate the connectors under the tail. Looks a lot cleaner without the connectors visible outside on the bike.
Very nice!
Looking great!
^thanks OG and Wolfo. This part of a build isn't exactly exciting. But it's all part of it. Getting closer to the fun stuff every week:).
The new gauge and front directionals showed up today. I like both. They seem to fit the "modern cafe" direction that this bike is headed.
I made a bracket to mount the gauge to the vacant ignition switch holes.
Now the joy of wiring begins.....again......
