Project peer pressure ADV danger bike!

As I couldn't stand the thought of paying $11 for a bolt with a magnet in the tip of it and I got a steal on a sensor for the Vapor on eBay for $11, I was determined to cheap out again. I chucked up a good flanged M6 bolt on the lathe and drilled out the head to accept a tiny neodymium magnet I stole off of one on the refrigerator. Then I machined a top hat collar to mimic the factory rotor bolt and put it together:

Then I drilled and bolted the sensor itself to the caliper bracket. Heat shrink over the connector and routed it all along the path of the brake line:

Programmed the wheel size into the vapor using their formula and I'll be danged if it didn't work!

Aside from the kill switch (discovered that even with the battery completely disconnected the bike will run...this is a good thing!) and a tag bracket she is ready to rock and roll!
 
Thanks for the love guys!

Deal of the year. I found an Acerbis 6.6 gallon tank for an early DR650 in a classified ad. Brand new! The guy bought it and sold the bike before he used it so I got it for a crisp $100 bill! Since my new mounts were designed to use a 1994 DR650 tank it was a bolt on deal. I think it makes the bike. Super stoked!

I have no idea what kind of mileage this thing gets but it has to be decent, put 1.5 gallons in it and have been about 115 miles and still haven't clicked reserve. She was made to travel!

Nice of you to pitch in on the kz. I wish I was making the thaw. Mid o and barber are much more likely.
 
Look at how mundane that driveway is!!
I can't believe y'all live in the same area ::) :p
 
I'm gonna rip that Boy Scout camp to shreads with that thing. : )
