I fitted these to my 2017 Tracer 900, a tiny bit of of jiggling with the master cylinder and it fits fine, i didn't need bar ends

Thanks for the input. I was able to make them fit by installing the inner bracket first with the clutch and brake levers loose and slip the bar end over the weight, but it was definitely snug.

Same question.  Did you ever get an answer, writetome?

Also have the same questions... Just getting around to installing on my 2017 and the bar weight will not work with the location of the break lever and res.

I have these ready to put on the bike for that reason, 

 I will likely leave the plastic off in the summer for more air on the hands, but should make a noticeable difference in the winter and rain.

Cut it in half and it will work if you want the front on high or low.

Good to know! 

The plastic high / low adjuster did not work with my Corbin seat, I had to completely remove it from the  bike to get the seat to fit properly. May want to try removing it altogether as well, you might have an easier time getting it on there

Maybe consider having someone make you a new leg out of steel so it won't flex. 

Looks awesome! My sister lives just outside of Denver in Westminster.... I go there a bit to visit and ski in the winter but I really want to get my bike out there and ride the mountains! 

Jesus, way to make it complicated hahaha

I have a Skene controller on my spotlights. This makes them running lights with low beam and spotlights with high beam. I have them switched from the rear of the headlight controller at the base of the lights.

Can you tell me how you've got it wired? I have this as well and tapped into the back of the light controller and I can't get it to function properly. The lights are working right now but dim when I hit the high beams.

Hello

I’m in Nashville as well, new owner 

let me know if you guys are still in the area

Yeah man, I'm close to downtown! My buddy in West Nash bought one and my dad as well!

ok, 1 suggestion if possible to do:  have some way to attach a keyfob/lanyard/"remove for flight" tag to it.

 

Looking at picture of it sitting on top of fork it's just asking to fall into the netherworlds of fairing/frame/engine void.

 

Unless you make another mold as tool to easily remove the fairings and sell that one separately!

 

😄

 

 

I plan to stick it under the seat, shouldn't ride with it on, I wouldn't think. Or keep it in a tank bag. 

It's a straight cut gear I believe. There's nothing you can do for it.

I bought a pair to upgrade my front signals, however, am I the only one that has issues with them sitting flush?? The housing of the light is too large to sit down in the recess of the panel and if it were to sit flush on top of the panel the mounting stud wouldn't be long enough to secure it. So to those that have installed them, did you add some sort of plastic spacer or adapter plate behind them? That's what I get for thinking this would be an quick and easy install. 

Woa a MT 10 touring!

There's only a few in the nashville area and I rarely see one. With that said, I've converted a few people.... My dad recently bought a red 2016 I think it was and one of my regular riding buddies is looking at picking up a gray one in the coming weeks! Otherwise I've only ever seen FJs around the dragon in east tennessee or north georgia

Did you ever finish this project? I'm curious whether you tapped into the yellow/black or yellow wire for the high beam trigger. I'm in the middle of six straight weeks of work travel so I haven't had time to chase voltages myself. 

No I've been working a lot and traveling some as well. I might be able to work on it next weekend but I'm leaving for Chicago tomorrow. 

does it only modulate the low beam? how does this work with separate high/lows? 

I did this one as well, best $20-30 upgrade you can make! 

Welcome. I regularly ride with a buddy from Smyna out that way! Mostly over into Woodbury

Basically ran 70s to 30 and then 39 over to Tellico Plains and the Cherolla Skyway over to Robbinsville.  Up 129 to Deals Gap. 

That's the route I always take! 30 in and out of Spencer and Pikeville are a BLAST! 

Excellent! Well if y'all are back this way on Sunday and want to ride give me a shout! 

When are you in the boro and when are y'all headed east? What's wtt??

Nice taste in trucks too, I've got a 16 ecoboost haha!

A still open question is whether using the yellow/black wire to trigger an aux light relay is safe. The other thread suggests that some current feedback from the relay might damage the ECM. A number of people report they've used the yellow/black wire for triggering, and the only person who has reported a problem is FrankQC. He claims to be an "electronics engineer," and he generally seems to know what he's talking about. But anybody can make mistakes and/or experience bad luck. 

I suppose it's true that the high beam indicator light would be a safer trigger source. It's a light bulb, so it's switched on by voltage. But the light and wiring are inside the instrument cluster, which would make it pretty hard to get to. 

I haven't had the time since making this post originally to check on the power sources yet, but in my instance the trigger wire is sent to the dimming module before any type of relay so it may have less impact in my set up. I don't really know but I hope to tackle this soon and report back! I do have the wiring diagram though so I'll see if I can find or get to the indicator light wiring.

Something for a longer trip. Natchez Trace Parkway.  444 miles of no stop lights or stop signs. Beautiful views and the road is kept in great shape.  More history than you can ever soak in.

 

 

Just don't get caught speeding, its a National park and park rangers love to make the government money out there. 

I've never had a problem there but others I know have. Sucks for them hahaha

Here's that link:
