New bike day!

[mikeyboy]

Not too bulky,
Simple wiring with no bulky switch or shiity control box
5 heat settings.
Toasty.

Must have been a good boy as he brought this as well.

I don’t want to hack up the new loom to fit the combined instruments so I needed this connector..
Made me sweat when I pressed the pay now button.
Still they generously gave me a couple of spare contact pins

 

[mikeyboy]

Fits onto here

Got the horn

 

[Bubb]

Do those heated grips have a closed, or open end?
ie, can you fit Barkbusters solid bar handguards into the ends of the bars with these?

never seen the Acewell heated grips before.

thanks

 

[mikeyboy]

They come open ended with a plastic plug thing to push in ,if required .

I thought the Acewell CA085 was virtually a plug'n"play option ?

It is if you buy the seibenrock version,or one from q tech.

I’ve got the Q tech headlamp and mask.
It would have been over a grand££ to fit the full GS G/s set up

Ha,
Secret Santa has been again.
I really like these.View attachment 296181

Fitted some of These to a mates bike, they are excellent. And you can get a set v similar from Ali Express for £33.

The Acewell IS plug and play, so long as you have the gs loom.
Mikey didn’t have the gs loom with the round multi wire plug that would make the Acewell ca85 a plug and play option. That’s why he had to buy the round electric connector.

I fitted the Acewell to my g/s , and it really is plug and play, so long as you set the ratio right for the wheel circumference. I had to play around with the numbers til I could get it to read the speed correctly…. Now it’s very accurate when compared with gps speed.

Where can you find the gs loom?
Can’t see any mention on digital speedos website

Mikey
contact Acewell and they do a “plug and play” Acewell CA85.
not sure if it’s on the website as such, but phone them, and they will do one.
I thought you had bought the connector that fits to the standard gs g/s loom.

well….. they certainly used to do the plug n play CA85 when 8 got mine a few years back.
I bought straight from Acewell, not from digital speedo website.

ps. Thanks for the info on the heated grips having holes at end. If I need to replace my oxford heated grips I will get
these as I like the integrated button.

keep the updates coming, bikes looking great

Time to start tidying the wiring up.

Ive got that battery on my G/S and the terminals that came with it are a right pain .
Where did you get those ones ?

Not sure I understand what you mean?
Those are just cap screws straight onto the battery terminals.
If you mean on the end of the cables?
Those are bespoke.

The ones I got for my basic and the project were both plug and play into the GS loom. I got them from motorworks

Just contact Acewell, and buy direct from them. They are a good British company, and will answer any daft questions you might have over the phone, with good grace.
old style service!…… unusual these days, but great to deal with (I don’t work for them etc, just a happy customer)
