INSTALLATION

B9 on BMW R1200GS 2010

Mechanical installation:

Slide the plastic adjustment ring on to the 22 mm handlebar. By rotating the adjustment ring you can move the controller forward or backward on the motorcycle handle bar. Clamp the device on the adjustment ring evenly with two M4 screws.

You most likely need to move your mirror-clutch assembly just few millimeters to get the needed space (9 mm) for SilverFox clamp arm.

Connect the power cord to the fuse protected 12VDC output (post ignition) of your bike (Operating voltage range 5-24VDC). Double check to make sure to connect the cords are correct; Brown wire to negative (-) and White wire to positive (+).

H1 (from 5/2024) units are supplied with M12 connectors to plug&play with DMD T865 harness. And with extra cable strip for just 12VDC power feed for other systems.
