Did you use the mityvac? I have had good luck so far.

 

I ended up getting the cheaper HF one, it was like $18 with coupon compared to $44 for the mityvac. It worked just fine and like I said took maybe 2 min.

 

So last few things to finally wrap up my bike for the summer. On the list was to adjust throttle a bit, flush/change rear brake fluid, tidy up wires and install a USB port under the gas tank. All those items are pretty well covered but I will include some pics of the USB install and some final pics of the bike all done and detailed.

Here is a pic of the bike with the tank off battery and fuse out.


Checking to make sure the length is good and that the USB charger works.


A pic of how I ran the wire and how it will look underneath the gas tank.


So kinda hard to see but a pic of the USB port under the gas tank and hidden but easily accessible when needed.

 

Nice job and nice write up and pics. Looking forward to the completed and detailed pics

 

Sorry mate but I can't see the point of sticking your speedo where you have to look down to see it.

 

Do you realy look at your speedo ???

Sorry that was a joke, but there is nothing to it, to look at the speedo were it is located now, I had that to on my Iron.

 

On British roads you do ! There are cameras everywhere !

 

I know, in Belgium to, the one after the other and al so traject control.

I hate the world at it is now, you are being watched every step on the way, is it not the government then it is another citizen with a smartphone filming you .....please bring me back to the '70's .

 

Well a few things, for me I think it ads a cool aesthetic look. The other is that I don't really look at my speedo anyway, I can tell within a few MPH how fast Im going just by the feel and what gear Im in. Lastly it doesn't really take but a quick glance to see the speedo, so really for me its cosmetic, I didn't like the speedo in its stock location.

Thank you, I will post some pics today, I have been riding it for work so...

 

Here are a couple of pics taken tonight on my way home. I'll take some more pics with better detail in the daylight.
