changed/added february and march 2008 at 3300 miles
sw motech center stand
audiovox cc100 cruise control
oem heated grips
oem hand guards
12v power outlets
1200 pelican cases on crash bars
beaded seat cover
crash bar mounted footpegs
coolant to engine ice
spark plugs to denso iu24 (from denso u24esr-n)

cruise control servo unit mounted on left side of bike. cable route toward back of bike
and circles around running forward towards throttle linkage on right side of engine.
home made cruise control (cc) vacuum canister. similar to many others except that
i liked one guy's idea of threading my hose bibs into the 2" pvc caps. mounted
on the right side of the bike. note the one way check valve in the vacuum tube going
back to the carbs. small capped vacuum ports are available on each carb, but are
kind of a pain to attach to. from each carb to a "t" fitting then single
tube to this canister and then single tube to servo unit.
cc handle bar control unit is mounted on top of the newly fitted heated grip
controller. once these major components are mounted you can go about hooking
everything up to each other and to the bike to make it all work. make sure to read
all of the information and warnings in the cc unit instructions. some important tips
and safety measures in there. it is your life. this thing can kill you even if
you do it right, let alone if you do it wrong ;(
cc throttle linkage. shown
with secondary linkage above in the open* position giving the appearance of loads of
clearance. be careful and note the closed position clearances in the next photos.
all of these linkage parts were in my kit. i tried a couple of variations
before settling on this one and that is why the bead chain is spliced ;)*(by open i mean
the position this linkage moves to when you rapidly accelerate and this valve actuates to
compensate. it then returns to closed position even if you hold the throttle open.
note the white painted screw above and right of the bead chain connection point.)
close up view of throttle linkage with the secondary linkage in the open
position.
close up of the throttle linkage showing the secondary linkage in the closed
position. now note how close of tolerance there is between the secondary linkage
above and the 6/32 screw below. that painted white screw above the bead chain
connection is now vertical and not horizontal as it appears above. so i am told...if
that secondary linkage above sticks open, due to anything, but especially if you don't
maintain an operating clearance, you will then find out how well the weestrom can wheelie
once you hit the gas and/or shift gears ;( 6/32 screw is tapped into linkage to
connect servo cable.
1200 pelican
cases mounted to crash bars with u-bolts. note also the beaded seat cover by beadrider.com
also note the crash bar mounted foot pegs. i got these at a local dealer, but i have
seen them in jc whitney as well.
anything to change up riding position for more comfort on long ride! ;)
1200 pelicans
stick out far enough to help protect rider and bike in tip overs and wrecks. so far
they also seem to reduce wind on my legs, but then check out that snow and ice. how
much do you really think i have tested them out at this point? ;)
winter! it is long and makes owning a bike expensive. it is far less
expensive to ride than it is to think about riding...as you can plainly see! ;)

original plugs were a bit dark. but i bought the iu24's before removing
them so we will see if they too turn out dark. am thinking maybe i needed to switch
to the iu22's but we shall see.
