Stripping the bike down....

    Hey guys.  Really wanting to strip things down on my bike.  Mainly:

    • Change up control switch housings to something old school and simple...I don't care if I lose my trip computer!
    • Clean up the wiring.
    • Remove rear frame covers and install some softtail tail light standoffs (already have them).

    I've done most work myself so far, but I'm not heading into territory that probably requires drilling/grinding.  Me and those words don't mix, unless it includes some sleezy bar in Kings Cross.

    Anyone in Sydney who could help with this?  Shops?  Members?  I'm in the North Shore and can travel a bit, but don't really want to head out way west!!!

    yeah anything can be done without time/imagination/cash and a big enough hammer

    controls, can use the posh indicator/starter buttons, I'm about to do this one myself. These slot into the bars and are super slimline




    The rear support grind down is also something I'm planning to do over winter, maybe we can ruin both our bikes together haha.

    Those look the goods! Thanks for linking.

    How do you wire those up? Switches for the left/right signal and on/off fuel? Buttons for the rest? How did you set it up?
