    I guess I need to reorganize some of the first posts in the SSPB threads to be clearer what the SSPB is for. Steve is correct that the SSPB is to provide better power distribution as this is a problem with most bikes including the GS have. But I think I should probably expand upon that introduction.

    But rather than hijack your thread, I updated the first post in this thread. Hopefully this gives a more linear explanation of what the SSPB is all about. It is a little long, but in the interest of brevity I did just gloss over some important features (EMC/ESD/Load Dump)

    P.S. and yes you should pick up an SH-775.

        No, that just does not work....at all
        The tank just does not have the lines for that paint scheme, neither does the side cover.
        The only way to get a semi - sort of acceptable replica would be to BS the eye bye shading put some of the tank and side cover with clever application of some black.
        I would give it a miss.

          For some encouragement, Viper did this FANTASTIC rendition...



          With some lower bars (clip-ons perhaps) and a cafe style seat, it might be close to what you are trying to achieve with your 850.

              is it me or is the blue a little bit light? The bags are awesome haha I would totally ride a bike like this although bits a bit too soft and friendly looking for my liking

              the bike is very impressive, a little too much blue for my liking, however a nice piece!

                Got the fairing from england looks awesome... I just need help mounting these badboys, im assuming these are the factory holes? i posted a thread on someone selling them in the WTS section... THe four lower holes with the arrows i believe are to have bracekts to the forks, and the rest ?????








                Any of this look like oem holes to someone thats worked on mounting the fairing before?

                  I guess my question is are the top brackets supposed to support mirrors and than bolt down to the handlebars? or do i drill holes so the headlight ears go on... i can think of a few things but i just wanted to know what your "supposed" to do

                    You don't need to drill any other holes, if you are using mirrors like the "S" they bolt through the fairing with the 2 upper holes, they are 50MM center to center. If you are using different mirrors then this is the top mounting position for the fairing.

                      With ALL of the Cooleys that are owned by members of this site, why can't several of them post some pictures for you?

                        The brackets are pretty hidden when the bike is assembled, my spare brackets are at the shop to be copied, so I got nothing that helps.
                        This may work, if Ed don't mind.

                              What a simple awesome beast of an engine



                              this is the spot for the kick starter shaft.. need to fabricate the tab that allows the gears to split when the kicker is on its way back up. Waiting for two locator pins and this bad boy is getting put back together.



                              kick starter shaft In place....

                              P.s. can someone provide me a link for the sh-777 r/r everyone and their cousin is talking about? I'm returning the electrosport. Btw PM sent to posplayer

                                It's not a SH777 it's a SH775 from a 2011 Polaris RZR and Ranger.
