IMHO, you've gotta dump the centrestand, it makes the right view so messy

I agree that it does not look great, but I use it quite often, i.e. when I get gas, or when I work on the bike or perform maintenance...etc... so I had decided to keep it on... In this case, "functionality > looks"

It's like the passenger peg brackets... I was going to grind them off the subframe to clean the rear-end, but decided to keep them to mount my camcorder... I created a bracket last night which fits perfectly and works great with the camcorder... so now I`ll be able to get 3 different angles from the bike: gas tank view with speedo... side view (left/right) forward.... side view (left/right) backward...

If I manage to go on a ride this wkd, I am going to test them all and make a little movie

I would have gotten that bellypan if I did not already have the Puig...

And yes, I`ll make a movie soon... a couple of peeps also asked to see the shift light in action... so I`ll make sure to include that...

Hey David, post up How To for the koso mount since you and John had to do some IM (Intellectual Mastrubation ) on the connections.

Are you going to buy it? I am telling you it`s easy! Get it and then we`ll talk about it if you need any help deal?

Ok Sir . Let me first gather some moolah from selling my leftover parts.

The bike is looking much much better without the dangling centerstand. That gives me some more courage when I get the french cowl installed.

You won`t regret it

THe only prob I have is the fuel gauge now... it`s still weird. Basically, when it`s showing half way (5 out of 10 bars), you hit the reserve. So I just use the trip meter and refuel every 150 miles

Just for you:

It seems like there is a scaling issue with the fuel meter. As our stock hits reserve after 6 bars, it is almost mimicking the stock fuel gauge.

Grip Puppies. They work very well - excellent performance, no slippage at all.

Thanks

- K4 => KMP - Spécialiste de la pièce détachée de GSX-R de 1985 à nos jours.

- Koso RX1n Speedo => Compteur & compte-tour KOSO RX1N fond noir XTREMBIKE.FR Accessoires & équipements moto scooter quad en ligne
(it was cheaper to buy it from this store in France than to buy from the distributor in the US).

Good luck!
