Koso RX-2 and WC Clipons [installed!]

NikkitaNinja · September 8th, 2011, 05:13 PM

Heres a few pictures of my just installed Koso RX-2 dash with the adapter board and Woodcraft Clipons. Just got my new levers in today and will install them along with my green Pro Grips the following week.

The dash has 7 colors to choose from, but obviously green suits this the best :P Thanks for looking!

WOW

I bet you ride w/ a smile at night

Shaol1n Monk · September 8th, 2011, 06:48 PM

nice! how much did the dash run ya and how hard was it to install?

Outlander Systems · September 8th, 2011, 07:12 PM

I'm still waiting on my full KOSO kit to show up. Did you do the install yourself?

Any tips, tricks or advice, if you did?

NikkitaNinja · September 8th, 2011, 07:24 PM

Yea, i love it. It really looks great and I wasn't a fan of the stock dash to begin with, so i decided to go with something a little bit more modern. I didn't install it myself because I wouldn't have been able to figure out all of the wiring, hookups, and sensors correctly so i took it to a reputable dealer/service shop about 30min away from where I live. Dash, adapter board and all the sensors/hookups was about 400 all together. I think it was completely worth it. Heres my next install:

That RX-2 looks good on your bike. I always thought it would look to small and empty without the voltmeter, but on your's, not at all!

How are you liking your clip-ons? I would love to buy a pair, but everything costs money and I want other things first!!

The new levers and grips look awesome too!

NikkitaNinja · September 8th, 2011, 07:38 PM

Yea I thought the same thing too about the dash, but I like how it's all in one place now. The clip-ons are fantastic and they feel great; definitely seems like an increase in handling slightly because of a slightly lower center of gravity. I'd really recommend both the dash and clipons to anyone who is interested!

Awesome. Brake lever is a piece of cake. Be careful with the clutch lever install; I broke the clutch safety switch off removing my original lever.

Got any pics of the KOSO in blue, on the green bike?

You, da man!

From left to right: green, blue, red, purple, yellow (book says orange..), light blue, normal white not included (to make things fit in one); lights are ONLY changeable when bike is running, in neutral. Switched by flicking high/low beam switch on/off. Won't work if you aren't in neutral.

Wow man, they ALL look awesome. I guess it's cool that you can colour swap, as it's going to be hard to pick just one.

Thanks for posting this. Your bike is officially bad@$$!

NikkitaNinja · September 8th, 2011, 08:08 PM

Haha no prob, i love it. No badass yet though. Still need my flushmounts, integrated rear lights, comfier seat, 12000k violet HID lights.

gt_turbo · September 9th, 2011, 08:43 AM

looks awesome. where'd you pick up the koso from?

NikkitaNinja · September 9th, 2011, 10:15 AM

Got the whole kit from biohazardcycles.com

Nice looking dash!
How much did you get the clipons for? How hard is it to install them?

NikkitaNinja · September 12th, 2011, 07:40 PM

clip ons were 150, very simple to install, basically just removing everything from the stock bars and putting them on the clips ons

rusninja · September 12th, 2011, 07:46 PM

very nice st00f

NikkitaNinja · September 12th, 2011, 07:54 PM

haha thanks, im already about 2k into it once i get everything in the mail this week, and proud of it. Some ask why not get a bigger bike, i answer, whats the point?

Cazper · September 12th, 2011, 10:24 PM

Super jealous of the Koso!!!

I already have pretty much everything else you mentioned... just haven't pulled the trigger on the gauge yet because it sure isn't cheap
