Well Tom lost a plate with the aluminum mount failing from a 1200 SDR. Good luck, hope it doesn't come off and damage someone's car or worse.

There is no way I would trust a plastic base plate for what is effectively a sail attached to the back of a hot, vibrating mass moving at 100 kph.

Stamping that line in usually prevents failure because it allows a sharper bend. If you ever put thick aluminum in a bending jig you will see all the stress lines and mini fractures appear on the far side from stretching. This is a way to alleviate that. But not a great idea on something that...

You're in Texas, you don't even have inspections do you? Just switch to smaller signals.

I used Motogadget Ice signals in my tail tidy and did not have an issue.

I think the Vit headlight is great at night.

The top third of the power band is now available unless you ignored the low rpm limit. I don't know if anything becomes unlocked in the mapping. I noticed nothing different but my other bike is a lot quicker so I didn't expect a lot from it.

Finished the key bezel, pretty happy with how it turned out.

Several of the wiring harness plugs on my bike were only press-tight, not far enough the the retaining clip engaged. I would bet on that. Not a lot of QC going on in India (which is ironic considering how many stickers are left all over the bike).

Where did you find it??

I do FEA for mechanical drawings occasionally and I really don't like how much torque that puts on the aluminum around those two bolts. I get that the stock mount also only uses two but that seems like a failure waiting to happen. I think I saw you are an ME so I imagine you have done some...

That is a bananas price. I'm hoping Husky releases some spoked wheels for the 801, that 701 is gorgeous.

The only way it might work is if you open up the main bundle right before it goes forward of the forks and route it up from there. The problem is there is zero room to run it up at that point, it would pinch when you turn the bars to the right.

I pulled the front end off to check on relocating the display over the handlebars. It is a no go unless you are willing to de-pin the plug and extend all the wires 10cm. The KTM's either run longer cables or route the wiring differently. Maybe I'll do it over the winter if I get bored, but...

You are posting in the wrong forum, the 801 is a new twin with a new ECU, nothing like what you are riding.

I like your dogs, very cuddly looking. What breed is that? Bike is good too.

The Vit headlight looks like a circle from the head-on view but once you are looking down on it you can see it is quite an oval. Something made for a circle isn't going to fit very well, there would be large gaps on the sides.

My bar mounts are flipped 180 degrees into the 'forward' position. This is where I have the rotation of the bars set:

Hmm, it seems like the part I ordered is only the ring itself, not the ring and metal inner mounting flange. That is annoying...
