Looks like your project is still progressing nicely.

My Motogadget tiny finally arrived, they sent it by slow boat I think. It's awful pretty though.

Did you end up using those Deutch connectors for those speedometer wires or did you solder directly to the loom, ie hardwired to the bike and not removable?
How are the deutch connectors otherwise in terms of being weatherproof, etc? I was thinking of cleaning up some connections behind my headlight now that it will be more exposed behind this little speedometer, so I'm looking for smaller connectors and to remove what is no longer needed.

Fun autumn project ahead.

 I've solder  the tiny , tiny .... well very tiny wire's from the motoscope  to some bigger wire's   after that I've crimp them to used a Deutch connector.  'I've put a rubber  protector over the soldered wires.   After that, from the conecctor ....I've soldered some Y connections to the original loom







I got myself an extra control button to control the fonctions on the motoscope and I've istalled it in the hole on the top yoke .  After a couple of month's of use I must say that it's andy  to have it there

Deutch connectors are not that big I've sean bigger type of connectors and smaller ones to ... but tje Deutch arr easy to work whit.   There's a couple of good vids on You tube that describe how to use them [thumbsup]

Thanks for the helpful tips and pics. I got started yesterday after studying and drawing out the wiring for a bit. I'm no electrician so that took awhile. First step was to change the stock triple clamp, get rid of the old gauges and the resistors on the LEDs that I no longer need thanks to the m-flash. Once I get the flashers working again I've got to cut a bracket for the tiny speedo.

Since I'm not changing the whole loom as you did I need to clean up some wires behind the headlights cuz they're no longer going to be hidden behind gigantic gauges.

Hmm. Maybe figuring out how to upload a photo should be my next task. Off to create a photobucket account.

Here we go.

The problem:


Stuff pulled off:


New triple clamp, much cleaner.


That's all I got so far, but it's a start. I'm thinking of mounting the tiny slightly off centre on the triple, towards the right.

For the moment I've tuck most of the wires behind the stering stem between the air box

Since I never used the switch your left index finger reaches on the backside of the switchgear for the headlight flasher
("your bright lights are on idiot!" switch), I used that for the function switch for my motoscope. It failed eventually so I run a baby toggle next to dash.

Hi Ducatigirl,

Just a quick thanks for your help regarding the tiny. I put up a few pics of the end result, here's how she looks now:



The tiny is sitting just above the right headlight. Works perfectly, with the stock speedo sensor no less!

Much appreciated.
