As you can see from my picture here: http://tinyurl.com/24uenl, it is pretty basic for what I did (it has never come off). I cannot remember who it was, but they mentioned to take away from all of the extra cable that you end up with, they mounted theirs to the rear wheel.

The rear wheel is a good idea! I never thought of that when I mounted mine...

I put mine up front, mounted to the caliper. My forks are RSU so it was pretty easy. As far as the extra line goes... I just cut it down to the length that I needed and heat shrink it a couple times for strength at the cut.

hmm.
my sensor looks a little diffrent then yours.. but i made a bracket off the same bolt for the time being.

and my cable is nowhere near long enough to reach the back of the bike.. lol..
id say its only 4" longer then my left front brake line

My speedo cable had to be at least 4 feet in length if not more. I kept coiling it until it was easy to hide behind my front lights. When I get home from my work trip and think I will chop it up and make it a bit cleaner. As for the rear set, ARCIE31, how visible is the line going to the back? I want to keep everything as clean as possible.

I have a question about the tire size setting. I bought a used Vapor and the PO had 2109 setup for the tire - what size tire was he running??? That comes to 671.7 mm's.

My BT-014 120/70ZR17 is shown to be 601 mm OD on Bridgestone's website, so I've set it up at 1887 (601 * 3.14) - sound about where everyone set up there's if you're using a 120 up front?

Also, what size water temp sensor do I need for the stock hoses and where is a good place to install it?

Thanks!
