This Wednesday, a group I ride with are heading to West Texas. Trip should be about 2500 miles over 4 days. I just finished a major modification to my 14R and some upgrades as well.
I changed my NON ABS bike into an ABS bike. I was called a "pussy" on this forum for doing so but as an ex CRMA,WERA road racer all I can say is so what. I'm 45 and I can appreciate technology. I was able to buy a wireing harness, ECU, ABS pump, complete front and rear calipers and all piping from a donor bike. The hardest part of the install was pulling the wireing harness through the frame. I took my time disassembling and reassembling and everything went well. While I was at it, I bought Delkelvik dual slip-ons. I sent the ECU to Guhl Motors and let them tune it. I also added heated grips, a taller wind screen and wired in some plugs for heated gear and 12v power to the front. Oh, and I added riser bars and murphs lowering pegs.
The sun finally showed its face today and I took the bike out for testing before the big trip. Everything works well. The Guhl flash is amazing. The first three gears now are unreal with the safety mode disabled.
I should be good to go.
Cheers.
