I dont recall ever seeing that buell faring. What does it come off of? What does it look like on the bike.

More ideas for you. By the way I have allways liked the ELR faring (not a hater) but your bike is high tech and I think it dates it a little. More ideas for you...

I like Mark Wings on this board. This is his. Im not crazy about my buell headlights, but they will do for now.

That Buell fairing is off a Buell Thunderbolt. I have no idea how it looks as I dont own one.. Lol but I bet it would look good.. :)

I'm with ya on keeping it different. I think that is what it needs. Something different but goes with the flow of the bike.

I vote to go without a fairing, just a big as headlight 7-8 inches wide. Use earpluggs and the wind won't be bothersome, and you won't go death at some point :P

Like the way the build is progressing!

What ignition system are you going to use? What are you using for a crank position sensor? I plan to do a similar FI conversion in the future. I have most of the parts already.

I was recently trying to figure out what to do with my wiring, that m-Unit sealed the plan for me!

I am fairly close to you, we should meet up once we get our projects running. Mine should be running in the next month. My project is similar to yours but not as clean.

Jake,

I am using the BIP373 Ignition Module's for the ignition in combination with factory pickups and Dyna Coils. I have tested the Microsquirt pickup circuit with the stock pickups and I get a good square way, which should it all rights be able to drive the circuit just fine. You can see those pics and video about 5 pages back. Still theory, until I actually turn the key.

The M-Unit is great, and really cleans things up nicely. You are more then welcome to check it out and if I can be of any assistance on your project don't hesitate to ask. Would love to get together as well, although my bike is still a couple months out I think.

Going to Leesburg Bikefest?

I cant go to leesburg bikefest as my racecar goes on the dyno that morning and if the weather cooperates I will be at the dragstrip all evening.

I plan to use a Coil on plug arrangement on my FI system. But that is an ongoing project for another time. Right now I just want to ride it!

Just read through your whole build, man thats a nice bike!

I don't know if I missed it, but where did you purchase your microsquirt from and what harness length did you buy?

I might have to copy some things from your build haha

Damn.. Been over three weeks since my last update! What the hell have I been doing all this time, oo yea.. riding.. lol Just about finished up all the wiring and actually turned the bike over on its own power last weekend, so you know what that means!! :woohoo:

BMOCK50,

I purchased the MS from DIYAutotune.com with the stock length harness, which I believe was about 3'. I cut mine down during install to probably no more then 18" and shorter in some cases.

Feel free to copy anything you want, and if you have any questions ask away.

Maybe I didn't see it but I just read the whole thing and didn't see any mention of the upgraded lights/signals switch controls?
Go green, buy a Kawasaki!

Damarble,

I am running 06 ZX10R controls up front. If your willing to some a little cutting and soldering you could get just about any controls to work, within reason of course.
