Dash swap info (finally)

So I am pretty much finished with the 07cbr600rr dash swap. I learned a lot of stuff along the way.

I got it wired quickly. The dash plugs can be bought at Corsa Technic Corsa Technic Motorsport, Motorcycle Connectors for just a couple dollars.

Once wired the tach and speedo worked perfectly but I still needed a fuel gauge and temp. For the temp I just got the cbr unit from ronayers and it threaded right in. The 3 prong plug is available at eastern beaver or corsa.

The fuel sender was a whole other debacle. You cant use the stock 2nd gen sender because its ohm range is only like 91 but the cbr dash wants 110 for full use. I bought the cbr pump/ sender and butchered it beyond recognition.

Pics of my project are here. http://photobucket.com/fuelsender

First vid of dash here. SUPERHAWK TO CBR600RR DASH - YouTube

It took a lot of time but I really like all the new features and since I kept stock plugs I can swap right back. But the digital speedo is nice and readable compared to the stocker. I really like the fuel gauge and digital temp too. Pluse the clock is a 12 hr unlike others I've seen.

I really felt like a trailblazer as info on how to do this is limited and for some things there was no answer til I found one.

If anyone tried the swap with this info it would save you like 30-40 hrs of work over what it took me to feel my way in the dark.

Thumbs up

Wow, that's a really nice upgrade. I would love to have a speedo I could actually read.

Does that site have the plug that goes in the back of the factory later model SH dash as well? I just want to swap to the later dash but dont have one in hand to see what the plug looks like yet.

Nope, they do not... Best bet is to get a harness off eBay and cut the plug...

Do the 2nd gens differ from the 1st? Don't they look like these?

You should rifle thru the corsa site as I searched the universe for the stock gen1 plugs then found them here.

I belive the G2 has a single plug that plugs directly into the back of the cluster. Had hoped not to have to buy a complete harness just for the one plug.
