Go to post #47 in my build thread. It mounts to the bottom of a RM250 fork yoke, but with a couple of new holes you could probably mount it to your bike (Does your bike have the two bolts that hold on a wire guide for the cables?)

I might still have that mount if you want it....
The Vapor is now on the Ninja.....post #57 on up through #63 in this thread.

Yea, there's a wire guide that's held in with two bolts... but would that be mighty low? I am unsure if the risers on mine are stock or not, but they're pretty high compared to the wire guide.

That is low. On my bike it works as it is a Cafe' conversion and the seat is high, and I am leaning up over the fuel tank.

OKay. It just means I need to fab something up. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something idiot-easy before I went into full on design mode.

Now I need to hook up the individual sensors. I'm taking the lazy man's approach and putting off hooking everything up as much as I can.

Well, thank you Dave. I haven't had a chance to get it in the road and test it, but the single wire tach went into the positive cable on the coil, the speedo cable is mounted, the indicators are all working.
I even hooked up an SAE quick disconnect USB charger with QC 3.0 to my battery tender SAE quick disconnect line, since I had the tank off and whatnot.

After tomorrow my gel seat pad gets here. Then whenever my raptor petcock gets here... it will be ready for long trips.

Setting the correct number for the speedometer always makes me a bit crazy. I first use the tape/wheel rolling test to get an approximation of the tire rolling distance and enter that. Then I go for a ride on the local highway that has mile marker signs and I stop at one, and reset the odometer to "0", and ride 10 miles and see how well I did. If the odometer read 10.2 I know the TrailTech thinks my wheel is a bit larger than it really is....and I divide the setting by 1.02 and reset. Then I repeat until I get it correct. Once you have it really close you can leave it alone - but it you go on a very long trip you can check the mile markers over 100 miles or so and get it really accurate. You can also check with a GPS - but the GPS is constantly showing the speed going up or down 1 mph...so it is hard to get really close.
Inevitably I get confused and make the correction the wrong way, and just when I was getting close I make it worse - so always write down your settings so you can go back to the last "best" setting you had.

Thankfully I'm used to calculating tire size since I had to do it for the tuner I put on my pickup. Sometimes more than once.
I have a starting dimension to work from and then I'm gonna run it and see how it does in terms of being close. Worst case scenario it's totally inaccurate and I start from scratch, best case, I get it spot on immediately.

Welp, speedo is mostly spot on... but the rev counter is nuts. I need a resistor tach cable. :/

Yep....I needed that as well on the Ninja.
Also....the outdoor temperature reading will likely be off by 10 - 15 degrees!
