Slow Night

I had to tear the bike down tonight to clean up a wiring job on the heated grips.  There was too much slack in the wiring of the left grip and it was catching on the fairing during left hand turns.  This required removing the side panels, seat, crash bars, both side fairings and the gas tank.

It takes almost an hour to get the bike down to this state.  It only took a few minutes to fix the wiring.  One less thing to worry about.

Here's a close up of the AP1 fuse panel I'm using.

I also installed the Go Cruise, but haven't had a chance to test it yet.  It looks like it will hold the grip pretty well.
You slide it down on top of the brake lever with your index finger.  The friction against the grip holds it in place.

  1. Cool cruise control.

    Yeah, I know what you mean about spending an hour to do a 5 minute job. Try owning a BMW :)
