BlitzKrieg V2.0... Bling that F****r up!!!
Ok, so JR Motorsports made the mistake of quoting all prices in USD when the Aussie dollar went north recently, so i made "one or two" purchases to take advantage of the cheap prices...
For the grand total of $177, which INCLUDED postage to my door, I scored the following items...
Billet CNC "Grubscrew" footpegs.
"Poo-Taper" bars.
Oversized bar clamps, Black CNC Billet.
Two 1/8 turn black Billet throttles.
Headlight.
Red and Gold fuel caps.
Hydraulic clutch in Gold.
ASV copy levers also in Gold.
All in all, pretty good score i reckon. Ebay, take a bow, we thank you.
Ok, so here's the pics and a brief description if they weren't literally a bolt-on item.
Footpegs. Different backing to the stock Atomik crappy cast ones. Required a small square of 6mm flat plate steel to be welded into the peg mount, to "raise" the angle of the pegs, as with the standard set up, they were droopier than ****s in a National Geographic magazine. 6mm plate welded in, they sit up just higher than horizontal. Driveway testing reveals them to be grabbier than a drunk 16 year old in a strip club.
Poo-Taper bars and CNC Billet bar clamps.
Bolted straight into the YZF400 triple clamp i'm running. No issues with fitment.
1/8 turn Billet throttle.
This one caused a few headaches, but required a simple fix. the stock Blitz throttle cable is ok with a 1/4 turn throttle, not a 1/8 though... simply pulled the throttle apart, and using my bench grinder took a little bit of alloy off of the throttle stop.. allowed the throttle to "close" further, (rotate forwards) thus allowing a bit more freeplay in the cable. Idle back down under 4000rpm once done...
Headlight. This one caused all sorts of foul language. Came with a wiring loom, switchblock with integrated starter and killswitch, and a mounting kit...but no wiring diagram, no mounting instructions.. Still cant for the life of me figure out the mounting kit, which appears to be some sort of slingshot, (???) but the wiring i finally got sorted, after much dicking about, power-testing and other such things. Finally rolled the quad in, parked it alongside the Blitz and copied the wiring. Turns out the wiring loom supplied with the light does four things. It partially replaces the stock loom, it partially splices into the stock loom, it partially requires the standard loom to stay in place to allow the keyswitch and neutral light to work, and finally, it partially makes me drink more beer in the shed and say "F***" a lot. However, once i figure out the wiring, it was all very obvious in the first place, and i could now rewire it very quickly on any of the minis... stupid china wiring and poor wiring information on the net...
