Onboard computer display mod

[Kwikasfuki]

This mod is for the 2007 - 2009 models. The later models have this functionality already available.

This mod places a switch on the handlebars, making it easier to cycle the onboard display.

Nice mod, I dont know how you work out how to do this stuff.  :o

Nice mod, always wondered how it was done and amazing that someone worked out which point to solder into.
Valerio posted a vid about this and i noticed that he had a neat small micro button , dont know how easy it is to fit

Thanks for showing that Viper. Looks like he drilled into the housing. I think I might do the same.

Got my nephew to do the soldering  :)

On a serious note you boys are very clever .... I would probably break something trying to get all that off ... but I suppose, as I have been reading here for so long, is that once you can do this sort of stuff the "upgrades and extras" that you can add would go on forever and take up all your spare time !! If I were wearing a hat i would take it off to you. :)

Does this totally disable the original switch, or can that still be used?

P.S. I like what they did with your drive.  :)

[Kwikasfuki]

Nope, doesn't disable the original switch. You know you want to do the mod LW.

As for the drive, got that done a few months ago. Believe it or not, that is decorative concrete.

I've got a new switch for this mod. I'm going to put it next to the flash to pass switch.

What drill bit type for drilling into plastic? Just a wood one? Hole to drill is 7mm

Yeah, just a standard HSS (high speed steel) el-cheapo one will do from Wickes etc.

Id recomm a wood drill bit with a sharp pilot point, so it does not dance around at first, screwfix bq ect.

Pilot punch it first

Pilot punch it first

Or place a tiny square of masking tape where you want to drill. This will also stop the drill bit drifting.

Thanks for the advice LW. That's what I ended up doing.

Remounted the switch:

That looks much tidier than the first attempt.
