TERRAFORMERS

Wow, love that brake lever! Racks, skid plates, the folks are getting it done! We still need to get some chain guides going. My new BRP guide is hanging around waiting for a bracket. Sooner or later.....

Toyboy....TERRAFORMER #5!!! Nice adaption! Thanks for all the little details and I'll be looking for that lever in the mail. Also looking forward to seeing how you mount the front of that crash bar, if you decide to keep that one.

Coffee,
These crash guards are from a BMW G650GS and only the 2 mounting points compatible, the same 2 the TR ones will be using. I could Fabricate a mount for the 3rd point under the rad there but I think I am going to wait for the TR ones Twisted Throttle is now going to carry. Will leave these in place for the time being. I have no doubt whatsoever that the TR ones from SW will bolt up just fine and will be compatible with the Motosportz skid plate.

You are very welcome. Will get the lever out for you by the weekend. Did you get my email on the micro switch? Same place i got both levers awhile ago. Since the TR crash guards are on the way from Twisted Throttle so to speak, I think I will leave these on just in case and get the purpose built ones for the TR.

Nice work, D-O-M. Really digging the plywood jig. I've collected all the parts, but still been pondering my plan. The jigs a great idea which I will use. I promise my welding will make yours look professional.

I'm not fond of your outward forward facing lower flange at the peg bracket. Looks like it could jab your leg in a tip-over. I'm curious why you didn't flip that flange over to let it point rearward away from your leg?

Fab and me both flipped the bracket over the top of the foot peg tubes so that it engaged on two faces. It seemed the most solid way to do it. With the tube welded to the outward facing bracket DirtyOldMan will probably be fine though. I pulled my passenger pegs off, but will have to reinstall them as those peg brackets could do some real damage in a fall. Fab just trimmed the peg tubes flush with his brackets which eliminates the issue entirely. I may do the same with my cutoff blade. I'll never use the passenger pegs on this bike.

Toyboy looks good...... PM sent on spare lever......Have you thought about using a hydraulic switch to replace the bolt ???

Pm sent on lever, already gone..Hmm, not sure I follow what you mean by hydraulic switch. I did try to use a Husky master with the micro internal but it did not work.....

Yes, I did get the message, and thank you! Waiting for the purpose built guards is understandable. There is better coverage from what SW Motech offers. I like the way it wraps the radiator. At least you have some temporary protection on there.

Kind of what I am thinking. These will do for now but will just grab the TR ones and go that route. Biggest thing is that these are just about an inch short of extending completely beneath the rad. May take the TR ones and add a loop that parallels the black side panel to offer side protection to the rad as well.

Here is another option...........

Touratech adjustable folding tip $114....The bolt that connects the line to the master cylinder can be replaced with one that has a switch made in it. I have used them several times and they work well. Look for dualsport conversion parts or hydraulic switch.

ok. Will look, thx!

Look at the bottom of the page...........

I agree-------getting rid of that mechanical switch is way better-----I've did that on many bikes-----it's easy---just pull the banjo bolt out of the top of the master cylinder---replace the bolt with the switch--- and wire it in---------these kind of switches will never fail and are impervious to water, mud, etc.
These are available everywhere online. Most under $20 I think.

Found the folding tip brake F800GS lever and that would work except you will need to cut the pivot point the actuates the plunger to master off of the stock lever or fabricate one. The original is much deeper than the F800 design. I did take the master and mount it to the outside of its mounting point away from the swing-arm so to speak, but did not want any interference with boot etc and if I recall still wasn't quite enough to actuate teh master without a little binding.
Overall a good lever that can be mod-ed to work, certainly better that trying to source one from BMW, too expensive in comparison.
I understand what you mean about hyd micro switch. Will look for it and see if that might work better. thanks for tip.

Huh, I have the one off the Husky master. Will try it again. For some reason, it would not actuate the light. This is cool though, only 14.95. Will grab if I can't get this to work...

Coffee,

Have a look at the links in my post in the Crash Test Dummy thread and see what you think.
