What have you done for your T7 today?

[mr. projekt]

installed my eBay Akro today... looks, fits, and sounds great. 

 

Instead of the clamp that came with it, I used a 2" exhaust band clamp that got it on there much tighter... no leaks or anything

 

I still have to go get some hardware tomorrow to put the OEM heat shield back on over the mid pipe.

 

 

[mr. projekt]

welp, I guess I'll make another post, after all it's "what have you done to your T7 TODAY"

 

I installed a Chinese version of the quad lock for my phone to go with the Ram mount for the Garmin.

 

Obviously wont be running them TOGETHER often, if at all, but it's nice to have the option on which to use as they each have their own uses depending on terrain or where I'm riding.

 

pretty pleased for $10... holds the phone nice and firm, and has a mechanical locking switch on the back which is nice.

This was actually done over a few days last week because anytime I do electrical work, it is an adventure!

 

First took a lot of stuff off! 

 

 

Then replaced the cigarette lighter with a 2 USB outlet with voltmeter, added a Powerlet 15 amp power outlet in the spare spot on the right side, then installed the Oxford heated grips. 

 

 

I was much relieved to finish, have everything work and get everything back together with no pieces or bolts left over!

I'm waiting on mine but my concern is the bikes fuel mapping . I've read here that there was a stumble at low RPM's on the Europe models and the UNI filters helped BUT the US models have changed mapping and don't experience that and I can vouch for that as mine runes awesome everywhere in the RMP range. So adding the oiled foam main air filter and a pre filter might richen the fuel mixture ?????? Definitely like the idea of the pre filter maybe un-oiled as its added protection and don't want to restrict air flow.. 

Are many of the US owners using UNI foam filters and what's your experience ????

Duno I'm in the frozen tundra of winter and My bike is in Hibernation.

I put about 3000km on mine with the filter, no issues whatsoever, runs perfect. Haven’t put the prefilter on yet.

I ran the same both oiled with the Huzar High mount exhaust.  I added a Fisch Moto spark arrestor and have no baffles or dB killers in.

 

I found the bike running a bit rich.  Lots of soot in the pipe.  Sooty wet splatters when the pipe was warming up etc.  Now at just over 4200 miles I'm averaging 42mpg.  I don't ride really hard.  Freeway work is 70-75.

 

On a whim I switched to the Twinair kit with top plate.  I guess I brain farted and didn't realize it was a prefilter to run with the stock filter.  So thinking it was running rich, I opted to just run the stock filter with Twinair top plate that deletes the snorkel.  With the bike already through half a tank showing Ave Mpg 42.3 I did another 50 miles and MPG went up to 44.5.  The 50 miles with the new setup bumped the tank average of the previous 100 miles up 2mpg.  I'm expecting it to bring me back closer to 48mpg I was seeing early on.

 

Soot in the tail pipe is a much less but I've also removed the spark arrestor.  After this tank, I'll put the SA back in and evaluate.

 

I'm going to try an MRW also as it claims to flow much better.

Fitted a Pyramid fender extender about 2 months ago, does a good job but looks awful (to me). So today I decided to do something about it. The pyramid fender extender is very long and has a straight flat edge, it doesn’t follow the curved shape of the front mudguard. 

 

So I took about 50mm and shaped the sides to follow the lines of the OEM mudguard, now it looks much better and still adds about 60mm to the length of the mudguard. First photo is the original extender, other 2 are the modded one.

Perfect job man. I need to do the same, I am fed up the mud thrown by front wheel and sticks around headers and engine block. It also smells like "Shet" after engine heats up

I got my Huzzar exhaust mounted up, and finally got the wheel weights from No Mar to balance my rear wheel. I converted both rims to tubeless using the Outex system, had two problems, had a leaky spoke on the front that i fixed, and then the back tire has some divots in the bead area that make it leak. I'm not sure if I did that or if it came that way, but I stuffed the tube in there for now, it will help seal down the outex tape too until I can get some bead seal or something (Maybe even just my vulcanizing glue i have left over from a plug kit) 

 

Went with Motz Rallz tires, in stock sizes. They look really nice on the bike and seemed ok in the snow.

Fitted the Denali T7 Auxiliary light mount today, very easy to fit and good sturdy mount, cost £79. Prefer the S4’s set further out, hoping Denali bring their new “Cansmart” out for the T7 soon.

@MikeCMP I’m curious where you ordered the RallyRaid side racks from, being your in the US. A US vendor?

[MikeCMP]

I ordered them straight from Rally raid. Rocky. Ou rain ATV carries some of their parts for the T7 but not the racks.

Fitted up my winter DIY project - 5/8" steel tubing top and side racks and backing plates for my Moose ADV 20L bags and the Shad bag that came with the bike for us LUCKY Canadian pre-orders (I kid, the Shad bag is nothing special). Backing plates are 1/2" HDPE from Grainger's. Ready to travel - once the snow melts and the zombie apocalypse is over!

 

 

[whisperquiet]

I have the rear shock out for a 9.0 spring replacement at my friend’s house.  He has a spring compressor.  The stock fork springs will be replaced when the shock is re-installed early next week.

Installed today  a Yoshimura tail tidy, Kinstecks LED turn signals, Progrip gel grips, SW-Motech kobra hand guards, removed passenger foot pegs and replaced with tire spoons. 

[James]

Fitted the Abus holder for the Granit Victory XPLUS Motorcycle Disc Lock recommended by the Lock Picking Lawyer (on YouTube as the best lock ever!).

Today I fitted the barkbusters bars only, with the OEM hand-guards
No bending needed for the bars, just unscrew a little the two screws of the mirror bracket and the mirror lock nut and move the bracket towards the bar end.
The bars fitted well enough and no need to buy the Barkbusters logo plastics, save some money and keep my hand-guards decall

[Xtina]

Installed some aux lights, seat concepts seat and a switch for the lights.

finally fitted the t7 rally tail tidy.  some blinkers later on [shipment said 2 month's and turned a week later up]

but the tail tidy does not fit with oem luggage rack's.  so had to make my own cross pipe.

now as im a plumber i grabbed steel pipe end eyeballed it.  painted it and im happy with it.

still wanting some Australian rack's that require removal of the passenger peg's.  but till i get those these will do.

 

bar and tail tidy are 3 mm away from each other. should be fine.

still the original flash lights. week later added new ones.

painted and reworked the cross bar.

here i forgot to add a red reflector mandatory by law in the netherlands. added it later, just like i removed the licence holder as i did not like it. 

boltted it with yelow bolts that are not as shiny as the plate.

We had rain all day so I had my KTech 9.0 shock spring installed at a friends house.  I cleaned, greased, and reinstalled the shock.

I now have 58mm sag.....I am sure it will probably settle just a little more to the desired 60-65mm of sag.  Then, I replaced the front 

fork springs and fork fluid with KTech .66 springs and BelRay 5w fork oil set at 102mm with the springs out......it was set to the same from the 

factory.  I will check the sag on the forks tomorrow when I have more ENERGY.

 

Playing with the suspension clickers comes next.

Where'd you get your spring?

There is a USA distributor.  Front and rear springs are an exact fit.

After I found a shop that sells Camel ADV products here in Europe thanks to this forum, I ordered an anti bobble head and 1 finger clutch kit.

I installed the bobble heac braces today. Easy install that only took about 10 minutes. Now the dash feels rock solid. The clutch kit will be installed on the weekend since I need to move the bike for that.

 

 

 

I looked but couldn't find the shop; there is so many posts here now!

 

Could you share the name of the shop in Europe please?
