I ordered my mirror relocation kit from AliExpress for $67CDN. AliExpress is having a summer sale promotion. Additional discounts for larger orders. The above price based on the Kaoko (Chinese version), mirror plugs and a set of cheap lights (refer to c650 forums) Great time to order if...

@bvanesian Thank you posting on the forums regarding the throttle lock. I’ve considered it for 3 yrs but couldn’t justify paying $200CDN for something I’ll use occasionally. I ordered one from AliExpress today for $30CDN which is more affordable and justifiable...

I currently have a pair of Rigid Ignites flood pattern lights connected to an IQ275 controller. The controller can programmed for 3 brightness settings but I have mine set for 50% and 100%. It’s not uncommon for me to start my ride in daylight and ride home at night on dark country roads. The...

I just found the information on eBay for the exact same lights. Here are the details just in case others are curious

What are the physical dimensions of the lights - diameter and length? Any ideas how much current it draws for each mode? I currently have a set of Rigid Ignites on my C400GT but looking for something brighter. The hi/lo function is definitely smart! Thank you!

Thank you for confirming! I have considered the Kaoko but discouraged by the price for something I’ll use once in awhile.

Which direction do you rotate the throttle lock to engage it - keep throttle in desired position TIA!

@mgg Thank you for the heads up! I did noticed the pictures show the complete kit but the short description indicates bracket, mirror or bracket - mirror. In fact some sellers selling the bracket - mirror kit as just the mirror and bracket with no hardware based on the pictures in the ad. I...

@teleman609 I’ve been checking out AliExpress for the mirror setup. There is a short and long mirror arm option. Will you be able to post a picture of your setup from the cockpit showing the position of the mirrors and windscreen? Thank you!

Thanks for the details! If I’m understanding you correctly, the bolts used to secure the mirror to the brackets were missing. Would you know the size specifications for the hardware? What is the clearance between the bracket and windscreen? I was thinking of using nylock nuts to keep mirrors...

@teleman609, You’ve had the mirrors now for a few weeks. What are your opinions….pros and cons? I’m thinking about doing the same upgrade as I do not liking where my mirrors are mounted even with extenders. I have to make an effort to look at the mirrors vs having them mounted further out...

I definitely agree! Full feature ride for sure but missing cruise control.

Thank you for tte detailed information! I was planning on machining about 0.5mm off the back side of the flange nut as well as maybe a couple of the threads off the value. Before dining any that… I may just go visit a few tire stores to ask if they have something available with the same...

External TPMS sensor with 1mm of clearance. I bought a replacement stem which I will machine down by 0.5mm for a bit more clearance

Here's a quick review of my CHIGEE AIO-5 Lite after using for a couple months in point form BMW Connected =========== - carry my iPhone 15 Pro in pocket but not connected to C400GT - not mounted on bike due to possible camera damage from vibration - using an $100 Motorola Android phone...
