Yeah, I heard that, but since we've got extra cajones in this part of the world, losing a couple doesn't scare me. :lol:

I finally finished the installation of my FF50s so thought I'd just update the circuit diagram I used. As I've mentioned, I could not find a DPDT switch with indicator light, so had to build my own. However, I decided to use a bi-colour LED and wired it up so that the light would indicate in...

Darksider number <whatever> (first in Africa?) reporting to the mother ship. :) I finally had an opportunity today to take my '07 and the new Yokahama AVS Db to my local Yamaha dealer to have it fitted. The new and the old: That PR2 lasted for 23171km and I have been extremely happy...

I have the same on my '07. First noticed it after it came back from a service at the dealer. Based on the thread referenced by Iggy it seems they may have washed the bike with something the headlights did not like. It certainly isn't something I did sinceI hardly ever wash the bike (that's...

So I am assuming one can can get these cells without any holes cut in them? That is the part that I missed (wasn't an option from where I got mine), else how did you close up the hole on the other side. :)

Here is my screen background.

Ja well, you see, part of the reason for the Fuzeblock was to reduce all those extra wires going to the battery. :) Currently I have 3 additional wires going to the battery (listed in the order in which they arrived on the bike): CTek battery tender Fuzeblock Datel volt meter Not sure if...

I certainly don't expect a dry storage area. I curently have a tyre guage and tyre repair kit under the rear seat. I'd probably move the compressor from under the front seat to under the aux. tank on a long trip (if I can). If it's not too much trouble, pictures would be great, especially of...

Thank you Fred W, much appreciated! I have been wondering about the grounding on 0Face's diagram (mine just followed his lead). My Fuzeblock has been installed for more than a year and current accessories powered from it are grounded to it. I'll have to go figure out where to position a ground...

I'm not sure whether to resurrect this old(ish) thread, or start a new one, so please pardon me if I took the wrong option. :) Firstly thanks for that schematic (and write-up) 0Face. Just what I was looking for. However, I'm having a hard time finding a DPDT switch with a warning light in...

Mine is the Minea. Looks OK, works reasonable. I like the fact that it is quite flat, but can expand from 12 litres to 21. The downside is that it has no outside pockets, which are handy for food items on long rides.

+1 on the Bagster. Butt-ugly? Nah, not in this beholder's eyes. :) Got mine from here and the shipping cost was covered by the VAT I did not have to pay.

Forgot to add the obligatory photos :)

Pictures of mine (with its issues) are here. See also these pictures from another thread.

I have the combination plus the VStrom handguards. I'm happy with it and have had no issues.

More on topic stuff. ;) I decided to join the darkside, but ran into the problem that there are hardly any suitable 205/50-17 tyres being distributed in South Africa. Eventually, with some advice from OCFjr (thanks again!) I found this tyre, a Yokohama AVS dB When I went to the tyre place...

Thank you Cruzin, the photos are much appreciated.

Looking forward to it. I'll agree with that, but the ideal is to have both: no aux. pump plus no air in the line. :) Yup, sure, but I thought Warchild was kind of a smart feller? ;) Oh, and Canadian FJR, the factors that prevent me from mounting mine like yours is that I often need the...

How do you fill it if it is upside down? Personal preference. I want to keep it simple - less things to fail (in theory :) ). Don't want the complication of having to remember to turn off the pump and don't want yet another switch. Where would the pump go? I often take the aux. tank off and...

Thanks, but no thanks. :) Will only do as a very last resort.
