Got mine today. Looks great. Should do wonders to hide all my HID wiring.
On a stock bike with no extras added in around the instruments the best way to install is with the bars swung a bit to the right, lower the right side of the plate down in at an angle and insure the plate is fully below, swing the bars to the middle, lift up and install.TheHelios said:How exactly do we fit this in? I tried fenangling with it and I was having a hard time getting it to fit and stopped. I've got heated grips and the cables for them go through this metal loop that was placed within the fork so I may need to bend it down.
Any ideas? Also, what's the total clearance below the plate? IIRC, it was like 1 3/4 inches?
Ya but OP's item is quite a bit more refined and looks to be more quality. Also streamlined and fit follows the bike better also. But thanks for sharing an alternative in case OP does not make this any longer.StringBean said:ADV Motorrad sells these for $20.00.

TheHelios,TheHelios said:After A LOT of learning on advanced wiring (used a relay and made myself a test-bed in home), I got this thing done. As Bernie wrote in the little guide he included with the package, wiring is infinitely simpler when done BEFORE adding in the infil. I didn't want to deal with a switch and wanted a more streamlined setup so I used a relay to have the accessories active only when the bike was on. My PIAA headlamps were already pulling from a 10amp line so I just tapped into the PIAA harness for the "on" switch.
I used the PJ1 Satin Black spray paint for the color. I bought a cheap-o dremel-thing from Harbor Freight with some diamond wheels but WOW do they NOT work well with this. I only got about 4 inches of the infil cut after 4 blades and gave up. Thankfully, my father-in-law knows a bodyshop guy who cut the panel for me in less than 10 minutes.
Accessory panel came from good ol' AliExpress for under $18 but with 3 week shipping:

Bought inline fuses from Radio Shack since all misc. parts from their parts cabinets are now 70% off so 3 inline 10 amp adapters and 4 10 amp fuses for all under $5.
