YES, I will pick this one to ride in Belgium, Germany and Luxemburg 🙂
Still some work to do, especially the electric and the seat 🙂
But there is still plenty of time left, I hope :-0
Cheers, Michael
At least this time I know that all electrical components worked before.
If something doesn’t work it will be a wiring issue and I have to correct that 🙂
Not an issue as with the Dirtbike, where I’ve picked stuff laying around, not knowing what is working and what may be defective !Cheers, Michael
That’s a good place to be Michael. I am hoping to ride mine tomorrow in the morning and tinker in the afternoon.
Are the controls off a VFR they look like the same ones as my Honda CB1000 as well. I take it you had to cut and join the wires because the plugs were different?
Hi Tango,
Honda used these handlebar switches at many models.
These are of a NTV650 Revere, my VFR750 has the same ones, your CB1000 and more.
The case is the same, cable length vary.
There is a 9-pole connector used, mechanically matching the Kawasaki ones 🙂
Need to swap pins in the connector for correct matches 🙂
Even additional cables (clutch lever switch) are existing 🙂I love these switch units 🙂
They are slim, have good ergonomy and winker can be reset just by pushing the button 🙂Right hand side has a lights switch (Off – Park – On). Currently I am using the CSR switches and they don’t have a light switch.
My new round headlight has an LED ring used as parking light and it looks so cooool when only that one is on, but currently I can’t switch only that on.
You will see that live in Belgium 🙂
Cheers, Michael
Made some progress:
– right hand switch is mounted correctly (hole in steering bar for pin), throttle grip snaps back easily
– throttle cable (Honda) modified to match Kawa carbs
– adjustable front brake lever mounted (matching the used Honda master brake cylinder)
– new Kawa stock clutch lever mounted
– starter motor cable re-routed over cylinder head area– still playing puzzle with electric components under the seat. Need to find “best” matching positions prior to electric rewiring.
– position of starter relais was the challenge !– left hand switch will be done today (mechanical)
– inner “mud guard” under seat cowl will be made with cellular rubber
– hopefully some things more 🙂Cheers, Michael
Your obviously making good progress there but still much for you to do. Are you going to be ready in time for Belgium?
Of Course he will be! 😉
We both have jobs to finish on our bikes yet. But they will all get done!
Hi guys,
was out in the garage all day 🙂
Except for pizza and beer ;-)))Next step in doing things with seat cowl and electrics:
