WER stablizer

I'll have to remember that little trick for my next bike.

BTW, if interested, you can post pics and get a whole lot of other cool features by subscribing. Something to consider....

I know...I know. I've really been meaning to subscribe. It's a great deal considering the amount of information that is shared on the these boards. The board has definitely helped me learn about my bike and how to fix/maintain it.

See ya,
Chuck

Make sure the length of the tie-rod is adjusted to allow the triple clamp to hit the stops before the WER action hits its limit.

The instructions make this clear. Failure to read and heed will certainly lead to failure of your WER.

..yes, I did read 'em...and my install is just fine! ;)

I'm not really sure what that piece is called or what its used for

They're called Adel clamps, and I must have installed a million of them. Used for wiring harnesses on aircraft. If you knew how much wiring is inside a modern bomber you'd be shocked. And those things are what fasten the harness to the bulkheads, stringers, etc.

I left the headlight assembly at standard height, and cut off the 'air scoop' section at the bottom. Then just flipped the lower bracket around backwards and rotated up 90 degrees, attached to a short piece of 1" aluminum angle. Fastened the aluminum angle to the fork tubes with a pair of 2 1/8" adel clamps. Used rubber grommets everywhere to reduce vibe transfer.

Total installation added another 3 or 4 ounces to the weight, and the headlight is at the standard height/attitude.

Jayhawk,

I'm with renthal. Got any pics? I'd like to see what the finished install looks like.

Later,
Chuck

I do not have a digital camera, but let me try to get some pictures and then figure a way to get them posted.

Interesting exercise figuring out how to post pics. Thanks to all who helped...

First one if front view of installation. Modification to headlight was limited to removing the 'air scoop' at the bottom. Kept it at stock height/attitude.

Side view of aluminum bracket used for bottom mount. Used the original KDX bracket, flipped it upside down and attached to headlight shell with a couple of added holes. Rubber grommets used at all attachment points.
