  1. My opinion and it's just that, is that a relay kit is not necessary. It's 10W Lo 22W Hi, typically an H4 is 50 Lo 55W, so 20% draw Lo and 40% Hi. If the swtichgear is fragile, dodgy or hard to replace a relay kit is the ultimate fix to lower current through the switchgear but as it stands I'd have no second thoughts about just installing without the hassle of extra relays. A relay kit will up the voltage at the lamp but LEDs aren't as voltage sensitive as incandescent, a relay would lower the switchgear draw but that's about all.

  2. That angle of the cans is perfect. The oval has a slight cant but the line flows and it works! Nice job with the hangers. Looks great

  3. Since buying the bike, I have been making small changes that better suit me. Motobits pegs are in a box, as are the H&B bags and rack. Brought the bars down, added some Ken Sean bar-end mirrors and adjustable shorty levers. LED headlamp and signals - the taillight was LED when I bought it. But the Staintunes were at the stock height and width - good for passengers and bags, but a little vulnerable in slow maneuvering and backing. So, examining the lead-in pipe, it appeared to me that the cans could be slid a little further onto the X-over and then the entire unit rotated up and in at the rear. Did a test repositioning and it looked plausible. Kinda mid-mount. This pic shows the difference. For hangers, what I settled on were some M5 stainless marine closed body turnbuckles. Rated at 900 Kg/1980 Lbs, I figured they were up to the task of suspending a 4 Lb can. A little cutting, grinding, heating and bending, enlarging the mount holes from M5 in stages to M7.5 and hand filing with a round file so an M8 bolt would just slip through, leaving a bit more meat around the bolts. Then dug out the white buffing compound and shined them up. Snugged them up and the install leaves the bike looking a little cleaner, and lighter (almost ANYTHING will do that!). A less homely rear hugger is next. Overall, I'm pleased and I can even hear the music slightly better now.

  5. @hammershaug, very simple to loosen the connection nut for the oil return line at the sump and rotate the AN fitting/line to deflect the line away from the exhaust, then tighten the nut to hold the line in place. It might be helpful to "groom" the line along the gearbox behind the starter for the best routing . . .

  10. Thanks, guys. I'm planning to mount a steel angle behind the 6mm nut and fastening the hose with a stainless steel-rubber clamp to keep the line away from the crossover. Next up is to mount a SparkBright Eclipse voltage monitor. I did that for another V11 owner today after replacing his defective regulator with a direct connected Shindengen MOSFET regulator. Made a 12mm hole in his carbon instrument panel beneath the rev-counter. On my Greenie I will try to fit it in the original charge lamp place, but the red plastic with the charge sign must be removed because of the auto-dimming feature. Behind the red plastic, the LED will dim too much. It needs to see daylight:)

  12. That is a very pretty thing! (Seems you might consider loosening the connection of the oil return line to the sump and rotate it away from the contact with the exhaust and re-tighten to hold it closer to the gearbox.)

  13. They all liked riding at the back of the truck, even going fast, full control. First one in 75, enjoyed the 440 music. Oluf the monster 68kg, way later. 4 males, 1 chick. Cheers Tom. Sent fra min SM-A505FN via Tapatalk

  14. My Rottweiler would routinely eat the bumper cover off the back of my truck. Never the front. After a couple replacements I decided the back of the truck was his and he could keep it any way he liked it . . .
