    Any info uv got mate. Ive not bought it yet on the basis that it's meant to be hard to fit.
    If it's pretty much a plug and play then I won't have any problems. But if it involves cutting into the wire harness then I'd defo need some help.

    Sound good to me.

    Do u have any pics of where u routed it and where it plugs in or is it easy enough from the instructions.

    PS I'm not that bad with a spanner. Just don't trust myself with electrics :)

    With a healtech unit easy instruction in pack, locate the diagnostic plug (adjectent to battery red blanking cover usually over it) and plug in healtech lead get the rear wheel in the air (paddock stand) start her up go through the gears revving to about 4k i think between changes back to neutral, job done....cable routes easy tucked up behind tank into battery compartment (seat off). its a bit tight for space in a abs model but it all goes back in ok, and if i can do it anyone can !!

    Should just have mentioned getting the blanking cover off can be a bit fiddly so dont be too heavy handed prising the clips (small flat blade), took mine off my abs blade the other week and fitted her to a non abs model and she did nt need programming ! it can be mounted either left hand side of clock adjecent to the two switches (route cable left hand tank side) or as i ve now got it top right enough space to stick indicator 9route down right hand side of tank.

    Colin Fitted mine to the ABS model no Probs. Info and photos of the Plug in should be within the Group buy thread of this product from about 1 month ago.

    Jd - I want one of these two! Could see if we could get another group buy? If not get one and figure the install together?

    Feel a garage night coming on.

    Fitted one to my ABS Blade and it really is straight forward to fit, if memory is right the red plug is under the L/H side of the battery, I ran it up under the R?H side of the tank cover and stuck it to the top right of the clocks ....... and the YELLOW one is almost spot on match to the original backing light (08 - 11), definately need a rear paddock stand to tune it, I ran it at a constant 3k revs and when the indicator flashes just snuck it up into the next gear leaving the throttle at a steady 3k.... the only problem you will have is choosing which colour !
