Well I've been busy, and I've been spending some $$$! This is a preview of what I've finished so far. I'm almost complete with this upgrade. I just have a couple more items to add. I'll post the rest of the pictures once it is all complete.
1st this is my spyder before the additions.
These are the Oxford heated Grips that I installed, which replaced the Symtec heated grips that I had. The Oxford heated grips I find much better and very well built units. Notice the controller box with on off button and four position heat settings. Each heat setting has it's own color LED display. I installed these without to much trouble, but you had to work fast with the epoxy that holds them in place.
I also added a Powerlet socket, which is switched once the ignition is turned on. In this location was the Hi/Lo rocker switch that I had for the Symtec grips. The hole on the panel that was left from the switch once removed was just the right size for the Powerlet socket. So I got lucky there. I do plan to add a second powerlet socket on the opposite side of the panel, which will be unswitched 12V. All my electricals are connected to a Centech fuse panel for now. I hope to change the Centech to Eastern Beavers PC-8 fuse panel, which is a nicer unit.
I also added a tank bag socket which is powered by the powerlet socket that I added. With this setup I can use the SAE power connector inside the tank bag to charge my cell phone, camera ect. At present I'm using this connection to power my heated jacket and gloves when needed. I have an adaptor for this that I run through the side port on my Cortech tank bag.
These are some pictures of what my spyder looks like now with the new ISCI floor boards with extended shift and brake levers. I also added the Canam Givi bags with the ESI led kit. I have a new Corbin seat with backrest, all color matched. I won't be using the backrest much for myself. This will be used mainly as a passenger backrest. But I do like it on the front though. I find the seat setup to be an improvement over the stock seat. It's real comfortable for me. Also notice the new spyder and web side cover grill. This was purchased from Kewlmetal. I think it looks cool!
Well, That is what I have for now. I have a couple more Items to add. I will post the pictures once all is complete.
