10-Year Anniversary Freshen-up

BTW: That's all the cost info you guys get! Every time I type the crazy cost of this stuff I think a thief is reading this. Dam, I'm already a Stage 1 turbo into this, surprised Ali hasn't brought that up!
Well now you took the wind outta his sail, well if you ever do go turbo you definitely have the brakes to stop. Your really sprucing the bike up, loving what you are doing!
 
It is a digital power distribution module. That basically means it delivers a total of 60amps that can be spread over 6 outputs to run accessories like radar, lights, heated gear, etc. There are no fuses so just turn the power off and it resets provided you fix the fault. Amplink | Rowe Electronics Seems a little extravagant but once you travel with one of these you won't leave home without it.
Oh man! That would clean up my wiring so nicely. I have so many eyelet terminals clamped down with the battery terminal bolts, is not even funny. Pricey little gadget though. Willie, didn’t you do a write on on a different style distribution block? (Too lazy to search now)

P.S the funniest part about you posting this was that, just before leaving home today, I prepped two ziplock bags with fuses to carry on the concours and busa. Lol

Yeah I have a Neutrino Black Box on the BMW. Same basic idea but more programming options. Light guys will love these things. Neutrino Black Box V2 Review - webBikeWorld

This is the diagram I did for the BMW with the PDM60, the old version of the Amplink. BTW the PDM60 is a digital fuse block too without the BT connection to the cell so it's very affordable.

Yeah, the BMW has up & down quick shift and when I get on the Busa I find myself just yanking the shifter up. Why did you pick that specific QS?
Sorry late reply , in the middle of picking up the 'old Dear ' from an outing !!
Well Cordona are used by many top racers , and is still one of the best around , I had mine for 2 years before fitting it up !!

BTW that's a very nice trunk. I would love to spend an hour pouring over that bike of yours. I study every picture you post like a sat recon analyst!
 
Well forks are done. Picked her up this morning and after a bit of suspension setup, was off for a ride. Funny but most fork problems seem to manifest themselves in the braking. I was feeling the slightest twitch to the left when I hit the brakes, looks like he oil loss for the leaking seal was making the left fork weak and hence the twitch to the left. There was a lot of oil loss in that leg. Sometimes you don't notice anything more than the tell tell oil/dirt ring around the slider, as the oil is ejected when the fork are working and much of it goes onto the road.

That's gone now. When the forks are freshened up a bit, they feel smoother and more supple but not more floppy. I guess the best word would be control, although that really over-used on suspension. The operation is smoother, hard to believe that the grime in the fork can impact the function that much.

I was going to start installing the MC and calipers but decided to wait for the wheels so it can all go together at once.

hey arch… whos ducatti is that? u play around with any of those?
 
Removed the old calipers and MC tonight to send off to Miguel next week. I have a lot of friends on here (I think? Lol) so I decided the first person who asks for them gets a killer deal: 2 Brembo 108mm calipers and a Brembo RCS 19 MC that are 3 years old for $200, shipping included. As with all parts I sell as functioning, you have 30 days from the day I ship them to return them no questions asked, you pay shipping.

These brakes are great! You will be very happy with their stopping power and with the RCS, great feel. You'll need a few things:

You need a fluid reservoir, most come with mounting hardware. There are conflicts with the fairing with this you will have to adjust the parts for or live with. I have not found a bracket for the reservoirs that attaches to the RCS mount that will clear the fairing. See what I did in the last photos.

You will also need some new Stainless Steel lines. These will have to be custom because the taps on the MC and calipers is in a different orientation than on the stock calipers. I would have a shop do it. You can ride the bike in and bring the Brembo calipers and MC so the shop can measure. The banjo bolts included are for twin lines, which I would recommend. I have it on good authority however, that it does not matter if you go twin lines or a crossover arrangement.

The micro switch wires can be connected with your favorite connector, the ones I used are available at most auto parts stores. When I put the connectors in I left a lot of wire so you should be able to do what you want.

The pads don't look that bad but you should replace them because they are work into my disks and will probably cause etching to you disks. Those are the Brembo pads that came with the calipers.

Hope you enjoy them!
