aftermarket additions to V7 iii stone

[flotstudio]

Question 1: does anyone know if there's a good DIY for installing a new front brake fluid reservoir? I looked at it and the stock one looks like I would need a whole new lever as it's attached on top. Are there any recs for this?

Question 2: was looking at installing new front turn indicators, but can't find where to attach a plug and play set, it looks like the stock lights are wired under the tank. I've un bolted and lifted the back a little bit, but am worried about pulling it all the way up. Is there a way to lift just the front and do I need to disconnect anything else?

Thanks for posting all of the products you didn't purchase from us.
When that K-Town fails and your tire sucks the plate off, we have one that fits and works properly; https://gtmotocycles.com/products/gt-motocycles-v7-fender-eliminator-kit

Q1: You'd have to replace the entire master cylinder pump assy with lever to update it, i.e. https://gtmotocycles.com/products/rcs-radial-frntbrkmstr

Q2: There's no plug and play kit, we sell the following items for Rizoma replacements; https://gtmotocycles.com/products/rizoma-turn-adapter-plates -- Our turn options; https://gtmotocycles.com/search?type=product&q=turn signals* -- I recommend to disassemble the stock turns and use the wiring from there instead of going under the tank.

Todd, thanks for the reply and the info. I've deleted the list of parts I bought elsewhere, no offense intended. I really like the look of your custom tail tidy kit, but I'd like to know what specifically is it about the K Town kit that sucks? I'm no mechanic, but it seemed to fit fine upon install and has worked well so far (1200 miles), but if it's likely to fail, or if the rear tire is likely to 'suck the plate off,' for my own safety I'd like to know if I can change anything with my current set up to mitigate that, or if I would need to upgrade entirely.

Regarding the front turn lights, I took them apart tonight, and see a blue and black wire (pic attached) with pins on the ends of them. If I order some new LEDs like the M pins, do I need to do any extra electrical work or do the LED bulbs you have come with the brackets that these pins just slide onto?


Regarding the front brake lever and after market brake fluid resevoir question - understood, thanks.

Thanks, none taken. I'm not one to berate other products, but I've seen several of the "other" brackets like this fall apart. The license plate support being two tabs will cause the plate to crack in time and fall off, that is *if* the tire doesn't grab it and rip it off first. You can hopefully just see the positioning of the plate over the tire; Better yet have someone sit on the bike and bounce on the seat so you can see for yourself what I mean.

Per my links above, you'll need the turn adapter plates and my offerings come with bullet connectors to crimp on.

Haha I can back this up 100%. My LP is curved due to the tire hammering it. plus my weight doesnt help
