XS1100 Cafe Racer - Fitting Kawazaki Switches

[@sidsnot9999]

Hiya Andy, I love love love these informative videos. Especially exhaust basics, carb workings K&N filters etc. for those out there like me who have come to motorcycle tinkering at a later age and with no mechanical background they are invaluable. I am currently building a Suzuki GS750 cafe racer with the help of some friends, and you are helping me to keep up in the conversations lol. lastly I urge all those watching these videos and loving them to show their love and head over to Andy's Patreon page and give some moola to keep these coming. Ride safe Justo

+Justin Wright hi Justo, thank you for your kind comments. Just be aware that they are all my options and my ways, it doesn't make them right. Thanks for tuning in, Andy

+Andy's Motorcycle Obsessions opinions, not options...stupid phone

[@boxnastyau]

Hands down best fucking tutorial video I have ever seen. Very helpful to a new bike builder like me. Thank you so much

[@ANDY5]

Thanks mate, glad you found it useful, Andy

[@jonnygoat15]

you are explaining electrical in such a way that the nightmare of my Kz1000p wiring is less scary

[@ANDY5]

+jonnygoat15 thanks mate, and thanks for watching, Andy

Always great information in your videos Andy

[@fransterhorst3694]

Good job Andy! like to see that done properly, meaning the use of decent solder-joints and heat-schrink. very nice. I totally get why you also switched the otherwise perfectly OK left side too, having a mismatch would not sit right with me either. ha ha. it's between the ears. cheers!

[@ANDY5]

+Frans Terhorst Yup, it is between the ears and I'm a bit weird most of the time 😂 Thanks Frans, Andy

Nice job as usual Andy, and as a huge Kawasaki fan, its good to see you have added some quality parts mate :)

[@ANDY5]

+yankee doodle Brahahaha good on you mate 😂 I have only ever owned one Kawasaki, and it was insane. Come to think of it I should probably own another before I croke it. Have a great day mate, thanks for watching. Andy

[@yankeedoodle880]

Have to admit they do have some insane models, which is good ....... for me :)

Thanks mate, but I can’t keep up with the 6K I have now

[@anime321able]

Hello Andy! Hope youre still active. I have the same exact R switch from a shop. My 79 special only has 4 connectors but this aftermarket has 6. Can you break down the solders you made and to which wire? Thank you!

[@garyjohnson4575]

I sold my GS1000E, to a guy, and went on a little vacation. I get back and there's all these frantic calls on my answering machine (yes an actual mini cassette machine). The guy rode to Canada, and couldn't turn off the blinkers!! He called back and I said just push the button in.......He spent three days going right or left, and was pissed at himself for having a three day brain fart!

[@ANDY5]

lol

[@WaemYt]

I consider these buttons for my build. Are you happy with the quality of the switches?

[@garyjohnson4575]

I now ride a 2013 Ninja 1000, same push to cancel set up.

[@2013105]

Whats up Andy i have a question regarding your honda. How is the pamco unit doing and how often do you have to adjust it?

[@ANDY5]

+Nick G'day Nick. The PAMCO unit has been fine. I did adjust it once after I installed it, because I was a bit lazy and didn't do it properly when I first fitted it. I haven't had to touch it since. Thanks for tuning in mate, and thanks for asking. Andy

[@yamaha550xz]

Any news on basket cases head yet.???

[@ANDY5]

+iain george hi Iain, it is close. According to the tracking it is currently in Melbourne. Will need to clear customs and be subjected to the wonderful institution that is AusPost, but I suspect 7-10 days. I sent the barrels off to be bored on Friday, should have them back late this week, early the next. Andy

[@tomconnolly4585]

Why do you use a Z in Kawasaki?

[@tomconnolly4585]

Do you still own Basket Case Andy?

[@ANDY5]

Yes mate
