Thanks!!

Another cable made, all connections from Zeeltronic to front of motorcycle (handlebar, M-Unit and Trail Tech Vapor.

Received dual horns. 300 Hz and 500 Hz, might be overkill, I may go for something lighter.

That is where I was, I wanted to change the avatar so I deleted the picture and wanted to select another one but the option to select a picture is not available anymore. Even using an URL doesn't seems to work (says invalid URL).

Looking for your opinions/solutions/advices on how to install a kickstand on the bike. Law ask for a side stand or center stand.
Thanks!

Does the sidestand have to be attached to the bike or can you carry it in
your backpack?
I've seen those little triangular ones they use on MX bikes, something like that
might be a way around your problem if it doesn't have to be permanently mounted?

It has to be part of the bike and it has to fold when you push the bike forward. Not easy with that fairing...

Fit the kickstand to the lower cowling.

Meaning, cut a section/strip of the lower cowling that will attach to the kickstand, and fold down with it. I saw it on an RZ500 and it was very nicely done.

If it was my bike, I would probably design a bracket and attach it to the frame below the shift linkage. To the bracket, I would attach a generic kickstand (sticking out enough to clear the pipe). Then, I would go and get the papers. As soon as I got home, I would take off the ridiculous kickstand and mount a custom aluminum prop and holder- polished like the frame (with the same attachment points). There would be a convenient holder on the bike for the prop, so it wouldn't slow me down.

Like the Honda NR750, good idea, nice challenge also.

What do you mean by "mount a custom aluminum prop and holder"? Sorry, English is not my first language.

From Dubsey's magnificent RZ500.

The prop idea is only in my head, so no pics. The prop would be a 3/4" or 1" aluminum tube with a small foot on one end and a connector on the other end. The frame would have the other half of the connector mounted to the frame. I don't know the name of the connector. The prop connector is male with a small pin on each side. The frame is a female connector with 2 slots. Insert the prop and give a half twist, and it's locked into position. That way, the prop doesn't fall out when you straighten up the bike.

Nicely done, I'll look for his built in the RZ500 custom project section.

For the connector:

You got it! :smt023

Never seen a removable prop like that on any bike.

Latest addition to the project, the Antigravity battery and two Motogadget mini switches, completing the hardware components, oh, except the kickstand... this project should be ready to run for next Summer!

Installed the Motogadget mini switches on the left clip-on. Six momentary button for horn, hi/low beam, left and right signals and a config button. One button left...

Image


Both wire harnesses are coming out the end of the clip-on

Image


Not a long ride to arrive to the M-Unit. I will probably keep the full length of wires just in case I use them in a different configuration in the future
