Installed my Trail Tech Vector, it works great !!
I reused most of the dash lights and wiring for the Fuel/Oil/Neutral/High beam lights, the speedo has it's own cable down to a magnet on the front disc, the thermometer that came as part of an in-line unit that is spliced into a coolant hose had the same thread and depth as the Vmax thermometer (easy swap), the tach was all over the place when I first wired it but then I put in a 10K ohm resistor which sorted it out

Next job is to tidy up the surround a bit and make it look like it was meant to fit a Vmax

A good job on integrating it into the faux tank gauge area, but isn't it inconvenient to look-down? Why didn't you install it on-top of the handlebar mount, so you can easily see it underway? I guess if you were going to use a shift light up-there, you could shift by light alone.
 
Added my new 4 to 1 exhaust so just one more mod and im done for now.....

That is a great looking bike!!!

Thanks...once my new shocks come in this week from Sean I will get the bike outside for some nice photo shoots. I havent even fired up the new exhaust yet and will be rushing home today from work anxious to hear this new full exhaust breath over my old supertrapps.

I'm getting rid of everything around the handlebars (including the handlebars) moving to clip-on bars with a clean top - might break up the shift light and have it poking through the riser mount holes. The speedo isn't too far out of the way now, it's the same as when flick your eyes down to see the oil light coming on :biglaugh:

awesome I really like it, nice mod
 
Installed LEDs in my fog lights so it matches my HID light better. Like the looks but wasn't as bright as I expected. I think if I install a relay they will ne brighter...

Bike coming around in full gear now. Only mod left is the rear suspension that's due to arrive from Sean later this week. Final post to come once the shocks are installed....

Didn't do anything to the Vmax today. But I did score a frame and a springer front end, for this winter's project. :punk:
