Ok has anyone thought about diffrent hand controls. I want to clean the front of my bike up. Do not really like the big plastic switch boxes on my s1. Was thinking of new clutch and brake levers with micro switches and some nice grips. Anyone have ideas?

For grips i love my rizoma grips and bar ends on my ninja ZX10R. They are just beautiful grips and make my bike pop a little more!! Here is the link......They are spendy!!

For the levers i went with American Sport Bike for the faux carbon fiber and i love the finger notches built into them

Mine has no switchgear, save for a manual quickshifter button

There's some nice options out there in dual sport conversion switchgear for offroad bikes.

Rick where did you put you signals, lights, and starting buttons? Your quick shift a air operated one how does it work?

There's no signals, no horn, no safety interlock circuit, and no starter circuit (it has a solenoid button). There's a high beam switch on the side of the headlight and a run/stop switch on the dash.


The quick shifter is a feature of the Dyna rev limiter I'm using. It just manually activates the rev limiter function so that clutchless shifts can be made. I've practiced with it a bit this year and it has contributed to a couple tickets. After getting into 3rd gear wide open the bike is going a lot faster than expected

Very clean the Phillips bolts are what was used on S1 tanks the older tanks have coarse Phillips head straight into plastic the newer tanks have a phillips head machine screw!!

Years, and years, and years ago Rocket had a thread where he put some kind of super clean billet or chromed out switch-gear on his S1. He had to get creative with the wiring.

It will take me a bit of time, but I will see if I can locate it in the knowledge vault for you.

I like what Rick has done too, that bicycle computer seems both creative and functional.
