scuff Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Picked up our Tracers today from Motorcycle World in Northampton. We rode the long way home and spent the rest of the day adjusting and farkling. They are everthing we expected 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QED My thesis is now a proven physical phenomenon and will be adopted as the Wessie Law in physics. Should get a PhD from this.

Well not really, David rides the wheels off his Grey one. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

happy01 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Welcome Out of interest what adjustments did you make ? I might drop my levers down a bit. I've still got that white line on my tyre after 200 miles lol Sandpaper time I think :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuff Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Welcome Out of interest what adjustments did you make ? I might drop my levers down a bit. I've still got that white line on my tyre after 200 miles lol Sandpaper time I think :-) My first job job was to adjust the levers so that they fall under fingers and toes. The seat was put to its highest next, when I had worked out that I had to remove the rubber bung with the arrow on it to access the seat lever. I then removed the screen and its mounts and the plastic covers for the accessory socket to gain access to the wiring. I found the feed to the accessory socket and soldered on the wires for a feed to my garmin GPS. I have a lockable touratech GPS mount, but will have to wait until they design and produce an 'above instruments' mount for the tracer. For now, I have a ram mount fixed to the left front handlebar bolt. I had to add another spacer to raise the base so the the GPS could be tilted back towards me to my liking. A small black rat insignia sticker was stuck on the plastic facia under the screen. I test fitted my hard city cases, and they look the biz. I'm glad I made the effort to get the cases and fitting brackets from the USA, as I didn't really want the soft cases that they restrict you to on the UK market. finally, I stuffed a visor cleaning sponge and spray, together with a Xena disclock screamer under the back seat. Don't ya just love farkiling and fiddling and personalising your own bike! 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuff Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 This is where I got the stays for the cases (I actually accidentally ordered 2 sets, so I will have a spare set - doh)! Stays The side cases came from yamabits in Jersey Cases I don't know about the indicators, as I will be leaving that part standard, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 If you cut away the plastic where tool kit sits you can have more under seat storage great for bits and pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why you ended up with 2 sets I just clicked add to cart and it upped the quantity to 2 lol Thanks for the links btw. If you want to sell your spare set let me know.
