No 12

US-Style headlamp, both beams converted to HID, French rings on passing lamps, and turn signals, clear lens, chrome bulbs, Chrome air baffle

Can you tell what parts you need to do the conversion

Can you tell what parts you need to do the conversion

Just an everyday HID conversion kit for a car, with the appropriate bulbs.  Best to go for the super-small ballasts though, not too much room in the fairing. Keep them (and the cables to the bulbs) as far away from antenna and audio cables as you can.

Hi Jim
further back in the thread you mentioned a mod you had done to the seat because you are a short arse. Would you be so kind as to share that mod with a fellow short arse.
Rechecked the price of the Klockwerks Flaire windshield and it was 140USD and not £250 as previously thought so that made it a little more comparable to yours price wise. Does the Cee Bailys screen do the same as the flaire?

Thanks

Yes, same as the Flare.  Seat was narrowed down, and thinned down, at the front by the local seat guy.  Did a good job, and certainly helped. The lower shocks on the back helped a little too.

I see they've now made a mid year change to the 2010 CUSE5 and fitted a lower seat, so I'm thinking the silly height of these was a problem for more shortarses than just me! 

Cheers,

Jim

Hey Jim I saw in a old post that you wanted to change your bar to chubby 575 also. Did you get a change to make that mod? I did it to my 06 and changed all the internal wires with extension. I changed to clutch and throttle and idle cables just because I didn't like that stretch look of the cables. I would like to know if you have to do the same with clutch cable? switch and throttle wires also? Any help would save me a lot of headaches

Hi Trey.

Yes I fitted them to this bike too (if you check the photos, you can see them!) - I had them on my 07.  On the 07, I had to replace the front brake line, and the throttle and idle cables. The clutch pipe was tight, but just OK.   On the 09, there are no throttle or idle cables, the front brake line is fine (because it goes back to the ABS unit, and has plenty slack), and the clutch pipe (again, you can see it in the photos in this thread) is still tight, but just OK. The internal wiring is long enough.  So, answer is, nothing to replace on the current models, but make sure the WO575 bars you get have the slotted end for the TBW.  (Mine didn't, and while you can modify them, as I did, it's a pain to have to do that, when you can get the right bars in the first place!)
