Huge request CR riders.

[xtreme]

So I am looking to do a CR headlight swap to my XB12R. Is there any way one of you guys can snap a couple of pics of behind the windscreen. I am trying to figure out how much room is back there and how much stuff I will have to relocate under the tail. Could someone also take a pic with a tape measure, measuring across the gauge cluster. Trying to figure out is I will have to do custom gauges or use my stock. I really appreciate it guys.

Crap, before I left for work I took a couple of pics "beneath" the windscreen, not behind it. I didn't fully read what you were asking. I do have one pic that may help. I'll try and snap some more tomorrow. It'll be dark when I get home from work.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

What all exactly do you want?

Zdawg, I would like a pic to see what it looks behind the fly screen. I'm trying to figure out how much room I have to play with back there. Thanks.

 

[zdawg123]

Behind meaning "underneath?" Pop the wind screen off and take a pic of the internals? Sorry man, just want to make sure I understand so I can get ya the pics you want.

Exactly what you just described.

Thanks, Flaya.

I would have to do a handle bar swap to make this work, probaly clip ons since its a bolt. Hmm I think I could fit horn, 2 fuse boxes and ECM behind that flyscreen. What do you think?

 

[flaya564]

I think it could be done. you may need to make a few brackets to hold things in place. I know when evil mechanic changed up his light, I believe he moved some stuff under the airbox.

I am about to do a tail swap to a Lightning tail as soon as my parts come back from powder coat. So I can relocate some things under the seat since there will be alot of room there. I am an electrician so extending the wires really is not a big deal, They make these butt connectors that they use in aircraft that cold solders the wire when you crimp it down. Expensive but will be worth it.

My other concern like I stated before is the upper triple tree clamp, since it a Firebolt the CR headlight will not fit properly. Any idea of who makes a descent upper triple tree and clip -ons? at a descent price of course. I believe my upper fork tube is also bigger since its a 2010.

I was just eye balling some pictures, you might be alright with your bars. I'd wait til you get the headlight. I think the clipons would cause more of a problem with the cables running further down.
