Let’s continue with the fabrication work.
The antenna mounting bracket is a two-piece structure. The neck can flex and allows for proper fitment.
Since this is such a pristine bike, I’ll apply protective tape under the bracket to prevent scratches.
It looks like this.
It seemed a bit weak, so I reinforced it. The design looks purposeful—perfect.
This is how it’s mounted.
I basically dislike black, so I’m going with bare stainless steel.
This is the headlight relay bracket.
It’s secured like this.
The hose routing is a bit risky.
I’ve protected it, but there’s still a chance of rubbing.
A different use for cable ties. Now it’s secure.
For a charger, you must place a fuse as close as possible to the positive terminal—otherwise, if something goes wrong, it’s definitely a disaster.
Most user-installed wiring I see is in pretty sketchy condition. I’m honestly amazed how often they don’t catch fire—it’s something I think about every day.
I’ll add a terminal cover too.
A low-profile micro fuse fits neatly. 15A should be plenty.
That’s what we ended up with.
I machined the side.
The bore is a bit rough, but as long as it grips, it’s fine—so I installed a helicoil.
This was
Now it’s
P80.
Honestly, it would have been faster to modify the battery case, but removing it was a hassle.
I’m not sure which approach actually ended up being quicker.
The ETC unit is removable like this.
It’s quite bright.
All done!
