Not going anywhere until I change the front and rear bearings, install the fork brace and speedo drive eliminator.

BTW, my new sticker bombing project

Woohoo this thread is a year old!


Recently got the front warp 9 setup on, vapor installed, stripping it down a little bit for a good cleaning.

Still need to do other things before its ready for the season such as get the new rear wheel and tire on, new chain and sprocket, front and rear springs, new brake pads all around, install a fork brace, seal savers, shorten sidestand, fill and bleed front brakes, valve adjust, install new headlight, good cleaning all over.

Is that vapor setup stable? I mean doesnt it vibrate or something?
Routing methods? More pics would help.

I like the location and might follow suit if I am satisfied..

I think it should be plenty stable. Being winter I haven't driven it like this and won't for a few months. But I ran my Digitron computer in the par pad of my sled, and the sled takes much much more of a pounding (being rolled over in snow drifts, jumps, woops, etc)than my DR does and I don't have any problems. As far as the wiring for the Vapor on the DR, they just come out the bottom of the pad, on the tank side of the bars, then down to the routing clamp near on the frame that the throttle cables go through. I originally had the cable coming up through the triples but the temp wire isn't long enough. I may extend it and go that route but it actually seems fine the way I have it routed right now.

This picture is before I moved the computer to the bar pad, but you can see that this bar pad was even less supportive than the one on the DR, and I couldn't even fully enclose the computer in the pad but it still worked fine.

seeing as today is my bday i added what i got for gifts. i put on the TCI headlight gaurd, and the wolfman tank panniers. pretty awesome so far.
