johnridleyI decided to spend the day dealing with motorcycle stuff I've been planning to do.
First, I finished the electric fan conversion that I started a few days ago. That went pretty well. There's a writeup on my blog here:
Honda CX500 electric fan conversion
Then I swapped the Android Auto heads on the Yamaha and BMW. The one on each was better suited for the other, since the BMW already has a TPMS system. Also the one that was on the Yamaha is slightly nicer in that it has automatic night mode. The one on the BMW I had to just leave in night mode to keep from being blinded by it when I was riding at night.
The BMW is done and ready to ride. The Yamaha needs another hour or so of work but it's time to wind down for the evening.
This swapping job is in preparation for putting the Yamaha up for sale in a few weeks.
