The mount location on the backside of the fairing can be problematic from the shadow of the fairing itself, so ah mounted mine on the inner fairing itself...

Yes - I have that photo of yours saved cuz I plan to do that myself after I paint the inner next month. I have the Chubby 575 bars which are a little higher, and with the sensor pointing kinda back and out it seems to work fine for now.

BTW: the model number of the Kisan is P115W-S

 

Thanks for the photos.........

Texasredneck............what size hole did you drill and does it fit tight??? I am worried about washing the bike and water getting down into the fairing. It looks to me like you install the sensor by pushing it up from the bottom of the hole, instead of from the top making for a snug weather-tight seal?

 

The key here is to take your time...don't recall the drill size, only that I started with a bit I *knew* to be too small, and stepped it up in size one increment at a time until it finally fit VERY snugly. With the Kisan unit, the sensor has a split plastic"collar" that slips over the sensor unit itself, which is what actually holds it in place. You can slide the sensor in from underneath through the hole (VERY tight fit), slip the collar in place, then put it in position. It can be somewhat intimidating, but it's actually pretty easy. Once done, you'll be embarrassed at how nervous you were....

If anyone's in mah neck o' the woods - New Braunfels, TX - an' are reluctant ta try it yerself, jest gimme a holler - we can do it in mah garage easily - takes more time ta set up than it does ta install!

 

Thanks for the info guys!

Ride well,

Jim

 

I've had the Kisan variety on my SG, and before that on my RK, for over four years. In that time I haven't had one cager pull out in front of me, although I definitely don't assume I'm absolved for life from this problem.

 

Just installed one on my 06. The instructions that come with it say to use a 25/64 drill bit. That was too small. I worked my way up to 27/64 and it fit like a glove. It installs from the top down. The collar fits pretty snug. There was a very small gap at the split in the collar, but nothing to worry about IMO as far as water getting by.

 

Thanks guys! All of ya's! Got pulled out in front of this morning and have had enough. After reading the stuff here, my Kisan unit is being picked up tthis afternoon by a friend that works in Cleveland (from the Honda dealer-SSHHHH). Gonna install it tonight and do the spot lamp modifications as per the Redneck's suggestion.

I do appreciate the members here. Tis a dayum good source of info for stuff, and it has all been "road tested"

 

It does not take the place of defensive riding, but it sure reduces the number of times I get someone creeping out to pull in front of me.
