I'll post pics when done and let you know how it went. Started on it tonite and stopped. The wires, and there is 16 of them total do not plug and play in to factory harness sad.gif Not sure what I'll do, cut the FSD and factory splice together or cut just OEM and splice connectors to fit FSD's ? Seems last option is the way to go, got to be able to unplug wires in case I need to remove the tail. Dammit, I hate wiring crap, give me rod bolts, piston rings, engine oil, anything but electrical stuff.

It looks nice, but never ask a knuckle dragger to do a sparkies job!
Mount that bastage and post some pics of your Punk'd Viffer with all the cool stuff you've done to it...I haven't seen most of the cool new color coordinted stuff you've done
Heath3n, Jun 11 2005, 09:39 PMVery nice Scootr....Cost and link please? beer.gif
Cost was ~ $269 in black, not painted, you can get black or white w/o paint or add another $90 for factory paint, and LED lites and with shipping. $$269 total on mine.
I will I promise, wiring is a mess, can't find connectors that fit. Will try at work this week or just cut FSD and OEM ones and splice them together. Where's my bud Spetsnaz ? Out riding that stupid VRod I think. Gotta be done right, last thing I want is an electrical short and catch my ass on fire.
Agreed, bunch of crap, or at least come with the adapters dammit. FSD will hear from me on that tomorrow for sure. Cutting off the OEM connectors is not a pretty option but...
That really sucks about the connectors, scoot. When you cut the factory connectors off, just make sure you leave enough wire on the connector side to reattach them later if you choose to go back to stock. Oh yeah, don't lose the factory plugs...
BOBINOTTAWA, Jun 14 2005, 11:05 AMThis is going to end up in the 'How To' section with lots 'o pics, right?
Wow, this is totally unique! Look forward to the pics once you figure out how to get those wires hooked up. Better you than me ... I'd be lost with that mess.
But, I bet the end result will be worth the frustation. beer.gif

Sure thing! Now there's something cool to look at from every angle, even the back. My skills are no where near yours, but I have fun anyway! beer.gif
Dang, Scott-that's one sweet, pimped out ride!
Oh-it looks like it may be time for a new rear tire...
Das Bone, Jun 18 2005, 06:21 PMPretty schnazzy Scootr.......nicely done!
BTW, the real CF gas cap cover that I told you about in the other thread doesn't have that stupid "FOR HONDA" that the Pro Grip? version has.
I hear that. I managed to find one that also doesn't, just says Progrip. I was lucky as the store had both of them and I happened to notice they did, only reason I bought mine. Kinda of like having a "This Way Up" sticker on the bike but then again, that might be appropiate for me I think, or at least Brooks does smile.gif
WOW!!!NICE.Ilkie the red lenses too!!! beer.gif wheel.gif I like the center cap, but just can't bring my self down to pay $140 for it.Anyway great job!!!SEXY VFR. I guess I'm next for bling...I got new CF gas cap cover not the stupid "FOR HONDA" I have now ( got it from htis guy on E-bay USER NAME:cyclebitz )]http://stores.ebay.com/Cyclebitz_W0QQcolZ2...dZ2QQpZ3QQtZkm)[/url] and rear brake light srobes, hugger,handle bar-end turn signals and crome over the winter. Great job again.I think we should have like a anual DEALS GAP VFR meeting, like other car/bikes have.
Sounds good to me Bro, you and I can be the pimp masters !
What do you all make of this BTW ? Anyone seen this kinda of wear ? A CBR bud, Res, tells me I need a stickier tire, spinning too much ? I don't know, never feel it spin. I still have chicken strips as you can see (Still waiting in ULewz to point that out goofy.gif ) but I do accelerate hard, WOT, easy on brakes and really only use front lever, could that be adding to this problem I wonder ? Tire has about 2,800 miles, 1st Z6 did the samething as did M1's and Z4's, all less than 3K miles. Oh, I also do lots of triple digit running, lots. [image: user posted image] HPIM1082.JPG
