Just a standard water bottle holder for a bike. All switches are usable with no interference. And it beats the plastic one u buy from the dealer. That i'm assuming would break if it was bumped at anything below freezing. Hey and it doesn't look to bad when its holding a drink and its +100F out

oooh, what a great place too put it. ive been wondering where would be a good place.:thumbup:

if you don't want a bunch of wires comeing off the battery follow the wires that come off the battery and they go to the fuse box.... put your wires there.

Ill post pics soon for those that don't understand.

exactly what i did. The goon that had it before me snipped the temp sensor wire so i had to run a 14 ga wire through the firewall to the accy outlet on the fuse box and put a switch on it on the dash so i can start it up without killing my alt. and switch it on a few minutes later. helps warm up in the winter too.

How did you make those / What are they?

phillyxj570 Feb 7, 2011 10:28 AM

I got aluminum valve caps and inflation needles from harbor freight. Take the needles and cut about half of the stem off. Drill a hole in the top of the valve cap, then epoxy them together. You can drill holes in the sides of the valve cap to let more air out but I didn't so can put my pressure gauge on the end to find out my psi.

sweet! Nice job

Made some disconnects from a simple 4 prong trailer plug for my lights so I can take my rack off with no hassle.

Also I put some heater hose in the gap of my d rings to keep them from rattling.

I think he's talking about electric plug disconnects from a 4 prong trailer plug for his roof rack lights so he can take the roof rack off with no hassle.
