Re: CBR1000RR Throttle tube/cables on F4i
Alright, **** you guys.
I gave up and put the F4i cables in the 1000rr housing. After I did that it took me 2 minutes to finish everything

Ok, I just heard that 06-07 CBR1000's have 2 different controls.. Same exact control but different wires. Great.

Re: CBR1000RR Throttle tube/cables on F4i
when I did my RR I soldered the wires together, not sure if you could pull metal clips out of the 1000rr harness and slide them into the F4i harness....kinda like you can with the fuel pump plugs

Re: CBR1000RR Throttle tube/cables on F4i
So I went the soldering route. And now it's still sitting in the kitchen waiting to be finished.

I'm pretty sure the 2 wires your talking about are for the brake switch.... like a white/green and green/yellow(on the switch side)?
When I wired mine up it didn't make a difference which one they went to (i don't think)
Try em in both spots and see which on lets the brake light work....

Damn, you're on point with your wires

Re: CBR1000RR Throttle tube/cables on F4i
Yup.... that's them. (did you just edit that pic in?)
Makes no diff where they go.... and if it does, then just swap the 2 plugs on the brake light micro-switch.

Yea, added it a minute later.
Thanks for the help
Now I just need to clean up the wires up front. My **** was all bundled up and zip tied to the fairing stay like a stuntbike or something

They wouldn't fit... had to go the soldering route as well.

Re: CBR1000RR Throttle tube/cables on F4i
I hate trying to hide all those wires on the front... it's such a bitch when somethin goes wrong then ya gotta un-do all that zippin and tuckin.
I still have to snap some pics of the clip-on setup for ya.... soon.

Re: CBR1000RR Throttle tube/cables on F4i
Yea.. I built this bike from the ground up never having worked on an F4i before.. So I had no idea how these things were supposed to go stock. I just did work with some zip ties.
And yes, hurry up with those pics.

Re: CBR1000RR Throttle tube/cables on F4i
yeah, I KNEW it would work rewiring it, so thats why I went that route.......I'm wanting to pick up one for my F4i some time soon, I'll skip the brakelight switch and plug, completely since I have a brakelight switch banjo bolt on my front caliper.

Re: CBR1000RR Throttle tube/cables on F4i
Just finished up soldering it and tried it out. Worked perfect.
You guys drilling a hole for the nipple on the control or just cutting it and tightening it down?

That ****'s tight now and not going anywhere.

Re: CBR1000RR Throttle tube/cables on F4i
Hmm.. Maybe I will. I was thinking of just cutting the nipple then putting one piece of electrical tape around the clipon before mounting the kill switch to it'd tighten down

Re: CBR1000RR Throttle tube/cables on F4i
i wouldnt do that,id drill the hole, **** thats the whole reason im goin with the 1000rr setup, i ground that nipple off my stock f4i housing and it ****** moves around no matter wut i do! i got db bars so the extra 1.5" on the 1000rr cables will help but **** as much of a pain as it seems im havin 2nd thoughts on the whole swap! but damn the 1000rr setup will look so damn clean
