i see you have the MCcruise installed. how do you like it? is it worth it? I am looking to buy it next week and was wondering.Tried out the Novsight led bulbs I ordered, they're really damn bright and pure white like the D4's much cleaner light than the incandescents in there. Took em back out, still need to get Deftoner's caps and don't want to damage them in the meantime being exposed. Once I get them installed for good every single light on the bike will be LED.
Got a 2nd Denali switch installed in the main dash. Routed that harness to take over controlling the existing Denali D4 2.0's. Since I almost never turn the D4's off except for maybe in traffic jams I wanted the switch out of the way so that... The bar mounted switch that used to control the D4's will now control a pair of Baja S2's wide cornering angled to the side for night trail riding like Tabasco did to his. I'll be wiring those after the holidays. This way when I'm bombing dirt trail/road at night if I come across campers or another vehicle I can flip the side lights off with ease. I like Denali's sealed minimally illuminated switches over just about any other, especially the big obnoxiously bright round red ones that come with most lighting kits.
Also installed a switch in the main dash for an ABS disconnect also a dirt focused mod. Laid out the wire, inline fuse, connectors, etc. The soldering and wiring and finish work comes tomorrow, it's late.
The switch above the voltage meter is an accessory master shut off going straight to my PDM60. If I'm ever riding and have weird shit start going on with my electronics or having battery issues I can flip that switch and instantly kill power to the PDM60 which will kill all accessories, gps, phone, aux lights, tank bag power, etc.View attachment 61845View attachment 61846
Awesome! Enjoy your new 2019Traded my 2012 for a 2019 ES , actually I did this yesterday
I love it it's as accurate as any car cruise control and worth the money. Follow the directions to the letter and take your time, it's alot of wiring, plan on a solid evening of no distractions.i see you have the MCcruise installed. how do you like it? is it worth it? I am looking to buy it next week and was wondering.
Enjoy playing with the new ride. Frankly I'm jealous - too cold for my old bones here in the UK & still plenty of salt around.going to be a sunny day . will post some pictures later today .
Am just up the road from you in Northants, pretty sure it’s all salt free around here. Looking warmer early next week, might head out.Enjoy playing with the new ride. Frankly I'm jealous - too cold for my old bones here in the UK & still plenty of salt around.
Wish I lived somewhere warmer and could ride. You'll love the ES. I did the same last fall when I traded in my 16 standard in for an 18 ES.going to be a sunny day . will post some pictures later today .
Congrats on the new bike. You keep you right hand on the bars when using CC. It's just that you don't have to grip it tightly, there is enough play that normal grip is fine. And if needed, you can just speed up and then relax and it goes back to the setting. If you roll the throttle forward, it shuts off CC. If you clutch or brake, CC shuts off. You will discover that the shut off is a little abrupt. I found that physically adding some throttle until the bike was just speeding up before canceling cruise control made for a smooth transition. You develop a feel for taking up the slack prior to canceling the CC, but it's not a necessary thing either.<snip> cruise control on for a few minutes ,I am going to like it just as soon as I can figure out what I am supposed to do with my right hand ... I can ride pretty comfortable with my left off the bars but right hand never
