I'm going to have to remove the headlight in order to put on my number plate - there is the light and mapping button mounted on the backside of the headlight. Did any of you TRS owners figure a nice and simple way to move it?

thanks cheers

Hi 

On mine I've just removed the light switch further back from the headstock at the connector. For the mapping switch I made a loop to shorten the cable then zip tied this to the clutch hose where it enters the frame behind the headstock. Map 1 doesn't seem short of power 

Thanks. that's an idea. I'll try to do something behind that number plate to keep it safe from pinching. The light I actually don't even need, just the mapping switch.

you're right - lots of power

As an aside, I hadn't realised you'd gone TRS. Which one do you have? Any general comments on how it compares?

Hi Cleanorbust 

Nothing wrong with the gas gas, Ive had 8 over the years but I just wanted a change.

I've got a 280 RR and I'm very impressed with it. Admittedly I've only ridden it twice. Feels lighter than a gg to ride front end is more stable. Suspension  / power awesome . At the moment all I've done is wound some off the rear spring and turned the mixture screw in about half a turn.

Thanks Baldilocks, interesting to get your view.

Here is what I did for the mapping switch. just a piece of aluminum.

I made a little bracket out of aluminium and mounted it behind the number board.

It is possible to mount the mapping switch in the front void of the handlebar clamp pad. No need to make any bracket, I have had it there for several months without any troubles.

I made up some of these with my 3d printer.
