SWEEEEET,

How's the ride? How hard was it to fit the electronics under the seat? Any pics of the configuration under the seat? Any mods besides under the seat? Great job...

Here's under the seats. Wasn't hard to figure out where to put stuff. Had to make a bracket to mount the brake reservoir and get a longer hose.


Rode great for the 1 block I rode it. After 5 minutes it died and I can't restart. I had a problem a while back where the ECM fuse blew, not the fuse this time I think the ECM is gone. (know of a way to test it?)

Did you keep your original ECM?

your bank angel sensor doesn't look like it is mounted right. the sensor is pretty sensitive to the way it is mounted.
i would start with that.

The sensor wasn't mounted in that pic. It's mounted upright and correctly now.

also I think I'd put some kind of sticker over the "for race use only" incase the bike needs to be looked at for whatever reason

somebody would need a warrant to look under my seat, in my bags, or anywhere else on or around my bike for that matter. And if they are willing to go that far, it'll be for more than a race use only ecm

Good looking bike by the way, hope you get the runability issues straightened out

Looks good. I didn't think I'd like that swap but wow! I like to see fellow niners too.
Did I just throw a niner in there? Need to lean that sucker. Thems some wide chicken strips. Just messin with ya! enjoy the ride. Check all your grounds. When I coated my tail section and reassembled I had a ground work damn near off. Bike was running like crap and was throwing codes like crazy.

Looks good!

Mine got shorter some how...




Double check the bank angle sensor. UP needs to be on TOP.
That was the only problem Glitch and I ran into.

I found the problem. Bad grounds, go figure. I attempted to use the bolts that hold on the seat to ground everything and apparently that wasn't working. Drilled and tapped directly into the frame for grounds and everything turned on. Found also that since my grounds wern't working the entire electrical system tried to ground through the fuel pump ground and burnt it open so I had to pull the fuel pump because the wire broke right at the gromet and wasn't repairable. Had to drive an hour away to a Buell dealer that had the fuel pump o-rings in stock in order to put it all back together. But, all is well now and she runs. I'm gonna take her for a long ride around the neighborhood and make sure everything is going to continue to work, don't want to break down very far from home.

Well it's not running right. It sits there and will fire up and run and revs fine. I got on it to take for a test drive and got out on the street and got up to about 3000 RPM then it bogs out and won't rev any higher. Rode down the street and turned around to come back and every time I pull the clutch it wants to die, have to rev it to keep it running. On the way back up the street it didn't want to go at all. I putted back down the street having to rev it with the clutch pulled and then let it out to go, and pull it back in before it died revving it again.

double check the grounds again. Mine was doing the same thing. It was the small ground wire that originally connected to the right side of the sub frame. Clean any paint or coating off the ground spot and make sure the sub frame is properly grounded to the frame. I didn't clean the powder coat off before I bolted the sub frame on. I backed the bolts out and scraped it away. Plus I made a cheater ground strap. The right side grounds had come loose. Road fine for about 11 miles then started choking puking and wouldn't accelerate above 3000rpm. I got back to the shop and tore everything apart. when I would move the fuse box the fuel pump would die then come back on. Those little wires made all the difference. I know you checked em once but just double check. I had to crank the crap out of the screw to get it to hold. Just my 2 bits.

Did you get the ol' girl figured out? If so what was the problem?

Ya, it was poor ground to the fuel pump. Once my new fuel pump wiring harness came in from the dealer everything ran fine.
