After...1000 viewsNow the gauge faces upward a little bit more thus allowing the rider (me) to view them better. A more direct, heads-on view.

998 viewsNow, the regular install guide for the SC has you "cap off" the OEM cable. I decided to get rid of the OEM cable so I removed it from the harness. Here is the insulation removed from the OEM battery mount. I cut the big, black starter cable about 1/2" from the crimp and then re-wrapped the whole thing with the supplied heat shrink. This gave me a completely separate starter cable from the other electrical wiring.

The necessary bits996 viewsThe two black oval pieces are the lowering mounts. A 4mm Allen head wrench is for the shown M6 x 1.00 x 12mm stainless steel screws and, of course, thread locker.

994 viewsI put a yard stick inbetween the gaps to show the distance of the tank to the ground. Just under 5" (five inches). That's pretty good space and if you get a leg stuck it could save that as well.

993 viewsThe brown line is the OEM ground cable; it's connected to the negative terminal on the battery.

990 viewsChin bar back, visor down. I noticed that the visor has a slight tint. The visor is NOT a quick-release type so those who do track days or carry a second visor (one for day, one for night) won't want this helmet. This is a road going helmet; if I decide to do track days I will have a helmet for that (likely Bell or Arai).

976 viewsThe starter relay is back in place and the Motolectric cables attached. Notice that the relay output cable that goes to the starter is routed in the opposite direction. It now goes across the top of the horizontal cylinder to the left.

975 viewsRemove the stock bolts using a 5mm Allen wrench. Keep the stock bolts because you use them to remount the gauges to the lowering brackets.

974 viewsLooking under the engine from the front left side, shows the cable coming down from the left side and across the bottom of the engine to mount on the starter, 180-degrees from the OEM mounting.

970 viewsThe red line is the OEM cable that goes from the positive battery terminal to the top post on the starter relay.

969 viewsRemove the OEM cables. This is the cable from the starter relay to the starter. Mine was in really good condition for having over 16,000 miles on it. Even the starter post under the cable boot was clean!

968 viewsThe red line shows the Motolectric cable going down the left side of the engine and then under the horizontal cylinder.

964 viewsThe red line shows the new Motolectric cable is securely zip-tied to keep it from rubbing on the engine.
