WTD: Skyway bracket for CCS-100

[bramfrank]

OK. I may be selling the bike, but that doesn't mean I can't keep adding stuff while I'm waiting for someone to come up with enough money to make me happy, does it?

So, I've ordered a CCS-100 and vacume canister from a friend at a very special price and I also have a 'Bergman' bracket coming - but that's just apiece of bent metal painted black. Serviceable, but ugly.

I am looking for a black anodised left side Skyway bracket for a Gen-II.

If you bought one and have never used it, PM me (if there's any room left in my in-box). I'd order it from his web site except that he wants quite a bit more for the bracket than I'm paying for the entire system delivered!!

You just get one from Skyway hisself.....

There is something obscene about paying $75 delivered for the device (including the canister & the bent metal mount) and then another $89 plus shipping for the bracket to hold it. If someone has one sitting around they'd like to liquidate, then I'm a player. Otherwise it'll be the mount included in the $75 I paid for me.

For a total of $164 you will have cruise control with a switch that is probably as factory looking as you could hope for from aftermarket. I've got the bracket and it's well worth the cost.

I can sell you one for $350 dinars!

If someone had one lying around they'd like to liquidate, then they could have turned their unused investment into some cash and I would have a more professional-looking installation.

And, while I can't argue with the logic, when things are 'tight', economically speaking one has to watch where the dollars flow - and to pay considerably more for the fancy bracket than for the thing that it holds is very hard to justify. When I was working, it was not a problem. Now? That's quite another story. Function over form.

You probably remember that I did that once here with my smuggler - I used something like your line and gave a tongue-in-cheek price in Kuwaiti Dinars that made the offer work out to the original US dollar price of the Smuggler when new, but it sure LOOKED like it was about a third because it is something like 3.5:1.

But you haven't bothered to specify the country of the currency, so I choose to pay you in Iraqi Dinar, which puts your offer at about 30 US cents - Accepted.

Does that include shipping?

No shipping will be extra. Just send me an even $1100 and we will call it good. Shipping to canada is expensive.

Have you considered the Brundog approach? Just a couple of switches, all very tidy.

I have indeed. In fact I'd probably do it with only a single spring-loaded toggle because I'd leave the power applied all the time. That entire on-off is almost redundant - if something went wrong I'd probably hit the engine kill switch.

My CC (which came with Audiovox's vacume chamber and a bent metal switch pad) arrived yesterday.

I'm going to head out to get a long drill bit to make drilling the tab simpler.

I think I'll use the supplied keypad for now and rewire it later.

When will I do the work? This week, I think.

Yep, that's how I did it on my '05 - a single toggle (SPDT, momentary contact, center off) to control the SET and RESUME functions. I just left it powered on the whole time and had no issues. I used the exact parts specified by BrunDog.
