Do a search, there are a couple of threads that show more clearly. Unbolt the bottom nuts, add washers, re-fasten nuts.
Jim's upholstery in San Diego. $45 total, I was about to cough up $200 for a lowered seat but glad I held off.Who did the seat work?
The keys are short, but the locks are shallow so it's a trade-off. I will say this, there's a satisfying hiss of air when you close the lids and clamp them down. It's like tupperware.Mounted my BOMOT panniers. Now it's a grocery getter, and with these monsters we are even Costco capable. Awesome construction on the boxes, the whole rig appears extremely well made. Only issue I found so far is the keys are a bit too short.
These two meters meet the requirements you listed:Changed out my ambient temperature gauge. I had a nifty multicolored LCD one installed but it had an extremely narrow viewing angle and mounted flat on the dash infill meant I had to lean way forward or stand up to read it, especially with a tinted shield on. When it quit a couple of weeks ago I was not too terribly disappointed. At the time I bought this gauge I also bought an LED one so I dug that out and installed it splicing into the same power lead. Hmmmm, still won't work. Tracing back the wiring I found that the power wire had pulled out of the cheap Pep Boys inline filter I installed. Not sure if I need the filter for the LED gauge, but the display on LCD one would just flash all the segments and was illegible without it. Anyway, fixed the filter since it was simpler to do than re-wiring the source and all seems well. This gauge isn't waterproof, so I've doused it in ACF-50, hopefully that will help.
Sure wish Yamaha hadn't cheaped out and provided a proper ambient air sensor instead of using the one inside the air box. It's consistently 4-5 degrees higher than actual ambient temps when underway, even in cool weather. It reads even higher in hot weather or slow traffic.
I've not been able to find an ambient temp sensor that meets my needs. I want it bike powered, back-lighted for night time visibility and water proof. It must also have a remote sensor lead. I tried one with a built in sensor but sitting out on the dash it would heat up in the sun and give inaccurate readings. Any idea where I might find one?
Wow, thanks Sparrowhawxx! I never come across these units in my searches. Are they back lit as well? Though the descriptions don’t mention being waterproof it seems like you have good experience in this area. I may have to pick one of these up.

More leaned over on the side stand? (from the deeper tread) Or sitting up straiter? I'm guessing the former.Busy 24 hours. Replaced rear E-07 Dakar with a E-07+ Dakar.

Noticeably higher on the side stand with the new rubber.
Yes, more learned over.More leaned over on the side stand? (from the deeper tread) Or sitting up straiter? I'm guessing the former.
Received the cheap Chinese windshield spoiler from Amazon and installed it.
Overall looks and quality seem good. Now I need to take it out for a spin.
Wanted to have an alternative to the XL Parabellum barn door I have been using (which I still like very much, except off road and standing when it looms like the blade of a Guillotine).
