It's not so much about blocking wind than deflecting it upwards. Away from the chest and toward the helmet which has a lot less drag. But that is tiny. No idea how effective it will be but it looks cool and has a nice gap for the camera. Seriously considering cutting the bottom of my puig to...

I don't think bicycle panniers would have an issue with strength if they were mounted on a proper racks but their aren't any. Once you start adding the cost of racks that aren't made for this the hassle of modifications and bags that aren't made for motorcycles you are going to spend a lot for a...

I believe the aux use a 10amp fuse in total. This may not be enough for the horn and I use those ports for USB charging and camera. I may just buy the repair manual for the schematic to do it properly if no one has that page they can show me

Has anyone replaced the horn with something a little less feeble sounding? I purchased a Denali SoundBomb Mini as I believed it would be a straight swap for the original but it neither fits on the original bracket or works with the wiring harness. The bracket can easily be swapped or I can...

Depends what you want, if it's no trouble dashcam functionality it really needs wiring in and mounting properly. If its to make videos of rides a GoPro is probably superior. I actually have a Nikon Keymission 170 which I got cheap second hand and should try. They also do a 360 version which...

I wish I could just say spend the money on the Innovv system but mounting and wiring is still the issue. A really slimline forward and back camera mounted at the side of the helmet like a senna could work but I don't know if they exist. GoPro etc doesn't solve the rear camera request or dashcam...

I have a blueskysea dv988. It seems to be a good device but I haven't had chance to use it as I'm designing some better mounts to 3D print. I thought the screen would be good as rear view but in reality you just need better mirrors. I would buy without the screen next time as you can just use...

Have you considered replacing the end of the shift arm with something bigger? People have measured it and said the peg is smaller than other bikes. https://vitpilenforum.com/forums/topic/shifter-foot-peg-extension/ I don't have the required tooling to make one like that but if I can remove the...

Sorted it by lowering the cutoff delay to 10ms. I am convinced that the ergonomics, size of shifter and my choice of soft boots are the problem behind my shift issues when they happen. This was another reason for buying the QS but if did t make it much better. I have to be very deliberate when...

Just done about 20 miles and it seems better, even 1-2 at 6k where I wouldn't shift before. Below that I tend to still put a bit of pressure on the clutch lever as I won't be accelerating fast if I want to change so early. I didn't like the idea of it shifting itself at low revs and I think I...

What I mean is how low rpm are you happy to change without the clutch in each gear?

It was more to do with the sensor and washers using up all but two of the available threads on the other side and I didn't feel comfortable with it like that. When I used the nut to cut an extra couple of threads on the rod it fit perfectly. How much of a jerk is acceptable when changing gears...

Mine is fitted slightly differently. I did have it mounted on the shaft bolt rather than the rod as there aren't enough threads for it to comfortably fit. It works like this and is very out of the way but it required loctite bearing retainer on the shaft and far more torque than they recommend...

You are right, I got it the wrong way around. Mine makes less noise when the clutch is pulled in neutral. In other gears I am normally moving so it sounds different again.

I think the point is we don't know how much noise it's making. My idea of noisy may be very different to yours and every mic or helmet attenuates different frequencies. At the end of this the rider will most likely have the clutch pulled and be near idle. Personally I think that's louder than...

It is normal for the noise to change when a clutch pulled in so it likely nothing to worry about. Mine makes a very slight rattle when pulled in at idle which either doesn't occur at speed or is inaudible. I assume this is because the plates are no longer pressed together so they can move...

Do we really need one on this bike? I do worry sometimes on the motorway but I have never experienced a tank slapper. This is the most powerful bike I have owned or ridden regularly. Passed the full test a out 18 years ago then didn't ride for most of that so not a wide range of experience of...

I use these, not the best looking but indestructible, adjustable by hand and you can see behind you. https://www.doubletakemirror.com/

Here's a good alternative with proper protection - https://www.alpinestars.com/products/j-6-waterproof-shoes Worn these in all conditions for two years. Feet never get wet or too hot and other that the white sole getting dirty there is hardly any wear. The only thing I miss is the reinforced...

I have tried lots of settings and it mostly ran cleanly at high RPM for upshifts until recently. Adaptive (Auto) Mode 95ms - that the wizard sets. I did have Adaptive (Auto) Mode 105ms for a long time but recently changed back as I don't think it helps. I don't know what else adaptive does so I...
