Kenny

Got it from R&G
And because I am lazy/incompetent/scared of buggering up my gtr I got their plug'n play wiring harness http://www.rg-racing.com/browsetype/Denali_Sound/Universal/Universal/DENDNLELC10000/

Sorry, didn't take photos while fitting but ... I only:
Took screen off; removed black tank air filter cover thingy where older models have handy cubby-hole
removed glove box and the black inner fairing it fits into ... Removed same on right side
Changed air filter whilst mucking about. Remove eom horn & bracket. Fix new horn sound chamber (this is the split version of the Denali soundbomb) to the bracket, attach air hose & thread that up.

On right side (facing fwd) under the black top trim, there's an almost vertical  foam 'bulkhead' with a metal bracket supporting it ... Perfect place to fit the compressor!! But .. I had to remove the foam and unbolt the bracket to widen the thread of one of its pre drilled holes to bolt the compressor to. Then reassemble bracket plus foam and bolt the compressor to it. Fit the air hose and electric connectors from wiring harness first to avoid unnecessary swearing later. Neatly thread wires to connect to ground (frame); oem horn wires and make a direct connection to battery. No need to remove side fairing, wires thread through easily. Make sure all is good and tight, neatly cable clipped.

Before testing, go get ear plugs and make sure the cat is nowhere near, also make sure the cat in the next road is safely tucked up inside (seriously, saw one almost run straight into a wooden fence!).

Smug & happy .... Going to start a league for how many people I can knock over just using my prize horn (yeah ... I know it's sick, but I never claimed I wasn't warped).

Like many here, I was embarrassed by my horn and because of that, I wouldn't use it very often. Sometimes my wife would complain that she felt I wasn't doing it when I should. I tried to explain things to her and how I felt, but finally decided to take positive action.

I needed something that would get me noticed and chose a ... Split denali soundbomb from R&G.

I've shown my new horn off to several other bikers so far and they've been very impressed. It's all tucked away under the top of the front right fairing with a pipe down to the original mounting block.

Should have done it sooner. I now use my new horn in broad daylight in front of anyone!

Hi gang, anyone fitted a givi trk52 on a heroblobs replacement tail rack? Ie

On a
http://shop.heroblobs.co.uk/products/luggage-rack-for-kawasaki-gtr1400?variant=1248183600

I've spent a few hours (according to my better half more like days leading to weeks) mulling it over and would like to both of us out of our misery by committing on ordering ... something!

Oh, and if you've got the  replacement rack, which type find you go for?

Thanks .. Dave

Long enough (just) no doubt? 

What like this:

RAM BALL RESERVOIR COVER

Yes ... Like that..... How'd you add it as a link not just paste the code/address letters?

I was thinking of one of these .....  http://www.motorcyclelarry.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=46_59&products_id=186&zenid=59odo6qoredgqb810i69jelmq5

Darn it ... How to you post a link?

Thanks for that Debs .... I wonder why they leave it blanked off anyway?

Wolf, it's been a while since you fitted this .... I am thinking of doing something similar.
Does the power socket you fitted & provided the  web link for accept "standard" 12v cigarette lighter plugs and have you got/posted any photos ?
Oh and did you run the wiring right back under the tank to fuse or  did you just link into the wiring from the factory fitted socket on the right hand side?
Cheers

Dave

That are all just ..... Stunning .... Never had a bike like it .... Feels more live than a machine.

So, as the title says ... What colour is yours?

Mines a 2013 gtr, (uk '63 plate) but I don't know the official colour ... Any experts out there that can provide a definitive answer? Cheers.

Oh and I expect each variant to have the honour of being the fastest colour ! D

You mean this ....

So Debs, congrats on a job well done - nicely executed. In the end what was the spec/websites you got the camera and recorder from?
Ta ... D

So folks, had my GTR about 2 weeks now and have noticed that for a big bike, the footprint of the side stand isn't very big, which could lead to a toppling over. I've googled a bit, but wanted to ask here ...
Has anyone fitted a sidestand enlarger onto the factory side stand ? And if so where did you get it and are you impressed?
Thanks. .... D

Oh and I'd love heat seeking missiles too ,
