You might want to check them, the aspect ratio is wrong, and a lot of the diagram is cut off as a result.

Fixed it. Thanks for pointing it out. Last time I trust visio to apply the settings I give it. >_<

Updates for version 1.1.3

Moved Orange / Gray wire on 35 pin sevcon controller from pin 17 to pin 18 (Credit Trikester)

New versions attached at end of first post for downloading:

First I should apologize to the 4 or 5 people who downloaded version 1.1.3 moments ago.

Looking at the diagram I realized there is a lot more information I could now add and merely fixing a simple wire mistake wasn't good enough.

v1.2.0 Added "Use" indicators and voltages where known for ODBII and 35 pin Controller connector. This text is blue, smaller than cable indicator text, and has two underlines. These are placed in most cases right above the cables in question but in some cases this was not possible given some unknown visio bugs (to be fixed in future releases)

I will ask the people who really know what the traffic is on wires I labeled as well as other wires please let me know so I can update the diagram if it isn't accurate or if I could include more information. (use grid version to let me know what you are referring to)

Again feedback always welcome.

v1.2.1 uploaded.
Added the orange text next to connectors to show what they plug into and fixed one rogue cable which was overlapping with another

Thanks!

Burton can you label the fuse function at location B4.

Burton can you label the fuse function at location B4.

Will update that for you now

v1.2.2 Modified general layout left of center to make more readable. Added general Fuse numbers in place of DC:DC fuse amps. Added Fuse key left of DC:DC Fuses. Added Fuse # indicators to wires where known.

As for the aerodynamic shell idea, it wasn't mine. This shell is Craig Vetter's "Last Vetter Fairing" and he has been doing this stuff for a very long time. Terry Hershner said I could expect a 50% increase in range with the modification so I am looking forward to it as well. While I haven't formally laid out my goals I am going to try to make the bike look good when it is done =)

To be clear, CV and TH are pretty clear to say the range *at high speed* can double with good aerodynamics.   Essentially you can expect to get the low speed range at higher speeds, not double best-case range.

Tony, first welcome to the forum! We need more people here as I know there are more owners than I see posting.

You are correct, at 70mph+ the efficiency can be double with the last vetter fairing ... this is why the competitions he holds are at 70mph. I don't think I made a blanket claim to increase my city range by 50% as well Most people who have read my many other posts on this know my commute is at 75mph year round in all weather conditions which was why I went with TLVF in the first place.

Speaking of TLVF I plan to mount it to the bike for this winter so I can compare the efficiency to last winter and enjoy the environmental protection The two front halves are already glassed together I just need to trim it down, reattach or make a new sill, throw the turret on and paint it black   Actually now that I think about it I also need to make a way to mount my headlights and fog lights lol

If you want to follow this process check out this thread and look for the two links to the last vetter fairing http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=5155.msg35859#msg35859

I am wondering about that Fuse #3. If the stock is at 10A, how did you get the number 30A ? Isn't the entire DC-DC rated at 30A (400 Watts) ?

[Burton]

I chose to install a 30 amp fuse here because the other aux items running off the DC:DC connector don't use anywhere close to their fused amps and I run winter heated gear

Which is why I indicated stock fuse is 10 amps (since the color for a 30amp fuse is green in the US). I know of several other people who run this fuse as 30 amps as well.

Ideally an installation of a second DC:DC converter would be a better choice provided the main fuse for this on the battery could handle the extra load.

Understood, thank you. I was thinking about hooking up an air horn to that fuse, draw should be around 18A, so I was wondering about that 30A situation. Seems like the wire itself is not rated above 22A.
