Default Vapor mounted

I mounted my Trail Tech Vapor this week,very impressed with this little unit,
everything seems well thought out,but i was not sure the handlebar mount was sturdy enough for off road use
so i made my own, and tested it today everything worked great.

Dean,
Nice work on the plate. How'd youget the engine turned look on the aluminum? That's a clean setup. The wiring looks first rate as well. Clearly, you've been there before. How do you like the Vapor now that it's installed?

The sidepods with lights appear to be a new addition as well. If I remember right Brian had to fab his own for indicator lights.

Thanks the engine turned look is easy, roll up sand paper or emery cloth real tight and put it in a drill, and push lightly.
on the surface,
the Vapor worked great, nice and bright easy to see.

I thought that might have been how you did it. That, or by using a small diameter Scotchbrite disc on a die grinder. You're an artist though. Your lines look great. I'm sure you'll have a few guys clamoring for you to do one for them. Oh look! There's one now!!!

They are on there web site, just don't let them tell you there aluminum mount works with the dashboard it wont.
i got one because the salesman said it will fit.
but when i called to complain they where great, thay credited the $50 to my credit card and told me to keep the mount,
she said maybe i could sell it on EBay,

Nice work! With that addition, the whole bike is crying-out even louder for headlight/shrould though
