Hi!
It fits very well between the inner and outer parts of the cowling.

My X-grip arrived, I mounted it on one of the bolts that holds the handlebar.

I 3dprinted a GoPro mount for the top bar 10mm to Gopro and took it for a testride.

Dang that was a shaky video!

When I had the camera mounted to the handlebar it was perfect.

I'm really scared to mount any electronics to the top bar at all...


I bet u get some fancy gear for your bike in Australia...

I agree with you on that top bar vibrating. I shifted my electronics to the handle bar. Easier for me to see it as well.

I got my items from Kev :icon_scoot[1]:

Package

1st thing I did was to report back to Kev that the items arrived...

Next thing is to open this up and take a look inside.

Nice wrapping

I start by installing the easiest one

Black box

Access made easier by removing some panels on left side

Easy access

If you have trouble finding the connector, follow the wires from sensor on leftmost exhaust

It is hidden

A quick test of how to operate the connector

Testing

Lift up the locking tab with a flat screwdriver

Gentle force

Now we try the same on the bike itself

This one

Slides apart with a plopping sound

Connectors

Here is what it looks like when the controller is installed

2 Connectors

Now secure the black box somewhere with zip-ties

Temporary?

Put panels back on bike

Nicely done


Now we move on to the fuel mod...
As you can see from the pictures this is an ABS version so there are extra junk under the saddle that makes it even more difficult to remove the snorkel

I cant breath in this helmet

To reach the sensor I remove left cover of airbox

Airbox is clean

Simply put some pressure on the sensor to slide it out of the rubber seal

Sensor location

Here you see the ABS unit...takes up some space

ABS And pipes

Some connectors for alarms, debugging and so on...

Connectors galore

It is much easier to remove snorkel if you undo the bracket for the tank

Bracket on the loose

Now we can lift the snorkel upwards and pry the base up between connectors, wires and all ABS plumbing

Lifting moment

Here is what the dark helmet looks like when removed

Snorkel

Nice clean area and easier access, still on stock airfilter (less than 600Km)

Spotless

Locate the wires to the sensor, I already cut it open

Wires

It is easier if you remove the sensor

Sensor

OOPS, coffee, back in a bit...

It doesn't matter which wire you cut, I picked the black/blue one

WireCut

I'm not a big fan of the white connector supplied so I solder the wires and add some heatshrink as well

Shrinking


Time for the breathing...a gentle prying and the snorkel came off surprisingly easy

Snorkel away

Here the snorkel is off and the mounting plate is in position. As you can see there is room for improvement

Filter and mounting plate

A secret compartement?

Connectors


That was all I had time for


this is the current state

Bike


Back to the drawing board...

Wow, very nice post with lots of pics :041:

On Stage



Yesterday at 23.00 I finally had the opportinity to go for a proper testride after installing Kev's mods.

Most notable difference is in revs below 3000 thanks to the o2 controller. The fuel mod makes a difference when altering the intake and exhaust.

I assume it helps here as well...



Next up on the mod-list is the Huzar muffler I ordered yesterday, should arrive within 10-14 days.

The LED lights arrived from China. They are the kind that has 3 modes.

HIGH, LOW, BAD BLINKING **** (totally illegal)

So I have to modify the circuit board a bit but this is a later version with a different PCB so I think I need to source some resistors.

I also need to come up with a way to mount them without flapping about.

Googling some pictures reveals 2 mounting spots...1 of them is on crashbars that I do not have....

UndCon 31-01-18 13:14

1st off - here is a link to the lights

Motorcycle LED Headlight Fog Light 125W 3000LM U5 Waterproof Driving Spot Head Lamp Switch Moto Accessories 12V 6000K


I managed to alter the LED modes

LED board


This does not work!
Youtube link to u2 mod

If you have the same sort of light you have 3 modes

Full, half, Strobe

This is very inconvenient and strobe is illegal (at least here)

This PCB differs from many chinese "CREE" boards. If you google this you notice most videos on Youtube recommends to remove the u2 chip - this board has none!

So another solution is required.

Modify the memory!

The big capacitor on the right side is a batterybank - for the memory.

If you solder a 1K resistor on the big capacitors legs (to the right) you shorten the time it will hold power but within this time you can still cycle the 3 modes.

In my case with 1K resistors it is about 1 second then it is back to 1st start mode which is FULL mode. (What we want)

Switching modes is done by cycling power within said time so if I want lights at half strength I do ON - OFF - ON (cycle to 2nd mode)

If I for any reason want strobe I do ON- OFF - ON - OFF - ON


If you are riding in the dark with headlights on (mode1= full)
and you meet another vehicle you power off main beam for more than 1 second

when you power on it is on full mode again.


Unmodified the lights has at least 30-40 seconds memory - and that is far too long.


If I for any reason want to cycle I can do so with the main-flasher button at index finger.


A cheap mod on cheap Chinese "CREE" LED lights, not totally waterproof, totally Chinese quality IE not comparable with more famous brands.



OH and btw - I ordered a single muffler from Huzar - it is already shipped.

UndCon 04-02-18 21:30

Another detailed post...

My Huzar muffler (exhaust) arrived
Big Parcel

Very well protected

Opening up
1 end


And the other

Rolling up the corrugated cardboard

2nd wrapping

Contains the muffler

Added a folding ruler for measurements

The 1st DB killer

Now we start removing the stock parts

Lets see

Start with the tail

The plastic protectors

If I had known there was a hidden screw in the rear....it would have been easier

Now to hte heavy parts

Finally got it removed

Wasnt that hard actually...

And to the grande finale

The Huzar in place

Oh LA LA

From The rear end

And the side

And the tail...

Heavy part 2


Then I had no more pictures of me mounting the handlebars and the top covers or the heavy tail...

However - I ordered an Acerbis Enduro Tail from Ebay to replace this POS...

DazzaXT 05-02-18 11:15

Nice looking exhaust. What is the weight of the Huzar exhaust?

Can you post a short video of the exhaust noise with the new muffler attached?

nikroc 05-02-18 11:17

What pictures??
