NEW Qlink XF200 Controls

JTCAndrew · 04-16-2011, 10:26 AM

Here's some Pics of my NEW Handlebars - Grips - Mounts - PAD - and a little Volt mete, Temp Guage and Time......More changes and Gadgets from GadgetBoy - Just for you Barnone! LOL

The Bars are Pro Taper 1 1/8" The Mounts are 7/8" to 1" 1/8 Conversion.
The Grips are Pro Grip, and I found the guage on ebay for $38 Bucks. It was cheaper then a Trail Tech.......LOL

GadgetBoy,
How much is the investment in your $1395 XF200 up to now?

Just kidding. Takes all kind.
Running out of room for stickers?

JTCAndrew · 04-16-2011, 12:34 PM

That it does! LOL Would you like to pruchase some advertising space - I still have a few spots left! LMAO I'm still under budget for what I sold my Bobber for to get this CB and start playing......I like Gadgets!..... :wink:

I like how the light goes BLING off of the shiny bits.

JTCAndrew · 04-16-2011, 01:20 PM

Me too....Hahahahaha Bling Bling......I can't remember who it was Spud Or Weldand Grind that picks things up in Videos and Pictures, But no body commented yet on the Video.....Check the Spark Plug wire in the Video! LOL - Thats my Laser Node Flashing! Pretty cool inexpensive toy. Adds some Bling bling, but also allows you to verify you have or are getting spark.... :roll:

Heres the link again:

What are laser nodes?

Where did you buy the Pro Circuit T4 Exhaust System from? And how much did it help?

SpudRider · 04-17-2011, 12:13 AM

Those are some nice goodies, Andrew.

Please let us know how you like your digital gauge.

That's cool Andrew!

I love the risers.... I have some that should be coming in on Monday. 1.6" rise. Generic looking black units I'll post pics of once I get them mounted. I sure like those though, like what you got there, with the part that fills in where the bar used to be in the triple tree saddle. Nice work there!

I have a pair of Protaper bars here I wanted to mount. When you remove the electric controls (switches), you will find holes that they lock into, in the bars. The left one can be taken off with your dremel. The right one....I found, is metal. I believe it to be the ground for the "Big Red Button". I opted not to change the bars at that point and ordered the risers.

If Gadget Guy decides to either drill holes in your new bars or 'reformat' the right switch control somehow to fit, please post it!

JTCAndrew · 04-17-2011, 07:29 AM

Intresting 2lz - Now I'm curious. I put my bike togather from the crate. I don't remember any of this.......Hmmmmmm I had to mount my bars controls etc......Now you got me thinking here.....Hmmmmmm I guess we'll see soon....

Do not cut or modify the metal plug in the throttle housing, it is there to keep the entire housing from rotating when the throttle is opened. Removing it would mean that when you give the bike some gas the entire housing rotates back as well. Take several measurements and drill a countersink in the handlebars instead.

Not to minumize you concern Trevort, but that's actually good news!

I was afraid since it was metalic, it may be a ground of sorts for the kill button.
These bikes and the Vics are the only motorcycles I've owned, out of 46 of them, that have had this little 'safety feature'.

JTCAndrew · 04-17-2011, 05:42 PM

Thanks for the great ideas guys - I'll be sure and post more about this when i get some time to "Play" LOL - It myabe be awhile as work and family keeps me hoping. Priority fiirst.........Thanks and stay tuned....

Zugzug · 04-17-2011, 05:52 PM

I really didn't want to mention it but your controls are probably not gonna fit on the bigger diameter bars. Its quite a jump from 7/8 to 1-1/8. You can probably mod the switches but the thottle tube is a different story.

Ah, disreguard my above msg. I see they taper to the smaller size as they get to the control area. Pro-taper duh.

JTCAndrew · 04-17-2011, 10:08 PM

Thanks Zug - I did make sure of that but other here seem to think I'll have some issues with the switches etc.....Time will tell when I get some Play Time......I'll be sure and keep you posted on this setup....

Phoenixrider · 04-18-2011, 03:21 AM

Can't wait to see everything on! My new bars eliminated a lot of vibration. Keep us updated with pictures! 8)
