Alternative 2: Left Front Upper Cowl

Advantages Disadvantages

• Keeps electromechanical components

away from engine heat, electrical

interference, and road spray

•

Substantial empty space for installing

servo and vacuum canister

•

Easy access to fuse block and electrical

connections

•

Easy to route actuator cable to throttle

•

Most of bike's forward plastic panels

must be removed for servicing or

adjusting servo

Inside the left front upper cowl is a great deal of empty space, and also two frame struts to which

hardware may be secured.

Here, the servo was mounted to the frame strut using

the factory bracket and U-bolts. The white, twin-

cylinder vacuum canister is mounted to the strut

below.

The actuator cable has more length than is needed, so

it must be routed in such a fashion as to use up some

of its length. As the actuator cable leaves the back of

the servo, it gently bends down and around to create a

large 360-degree loop. This loop will be tucked

inside the left front fairing and hidden when the

Tupperware is reinstalled. Pass the cable over the

frame towards the carburetor. Make sure that the

cable remains clear of the steering head and forks.

Loosely attach it to the anchor with its two hex nuts.

It will need to be adjusted after the bead chain is attached between the actuator cable and

bellcrank.

In the installation below, the factory bracket was removed

from the servo to minimize space, and the servo was

mounted to the upper frame strut with large cable ties.

Extra space was required to accommodate the extra-large,

black ABS vacuum canister mounted to the strut below.
