I've just arrived here, so be gentle...
I had a big racing accident on my superbike-spec ZX10R on the Isle of Man last year - broke both legs, and several other bones. So, no more (serious) racing for me. To keep me occupied, I'm putting all the race stuff on my road ZX10R (both are 04/05 models). The road bike already has the ohlins shock, K-Tech fork internals and Brembo master cylinder, and it's pretty damn good
Next thing is to put the race motor in the road bike. The engine made 194bhp when last run on Slick Bass's dyno. Slick (google him) built the motor, and knows what he's doing.
Here's the problem: the race engine really needs the race kit ECU. I could maybe use a road ECU and a Power Commander, but while that would fix the fuelling, it wouldn't adjust the ignition (or so I've been told). To run the kit ECU, you need to use the kit loom (I plugged the kit ECU into my road bike, and it span over, but wouldn't fire). But the kit loom has nothing for lights, indicators (I guess you guys say 'turn signals), horn, etc.
The only option would appear to be to splice the road stuff onto the kit loom. Which I'm sure is do-able, but I'd probably not want to do it myself.
So, what's the point of this post? Good question. I guess I'm asking if anyone has any experience in messing about with the kit loom and ECU, and whether what I'm proposing is feasible?
Thanks in advance
