Had some connection issues with my USB devices during the previous ride.
There was clearly some poor connection somewhere.
I decided to fit these components, in an effort to fix the issue + also add a USB-C connection for my other smart phone
Been searching for a proper fitment location of the fusebox. At 1st, I thought fitting it directly behind the screen might be good, but it looked a bit silly.
Placing it on the side could work, but I will have to remove some excess material
Lots of space inside the tower for all your wiring needs, you just need small hands
This is where the RebelX design is better as you can remove one half of the tower, to get to all the wiring.
I use those industrial Velcro strips for attaching the parts to the tower. Nothing more irritating than parts slapping around in there.
View from behind the headlight; enough clearance it seems
Seeing as I added an additional USB-C cable, I needed to shorten all wires and properly route them to the fusebox
Tucks away nicely
One extra USB with its own 'garage'
Fortunately, my earlier 3d-printed cable housing can properly cater for the extra cable:

Time to service the forks
Way overdue as the old oil looks more like hot chocolate than oil
Lets fix that shall we?
Soft jaws came in very handy for this job.
I found two of these plastic shims at the bottom of the spring, in the second fork leg. And none in the 1st..
At first I thought hmm, this fork does not use a shim down there, but when stripping the second leg, I found the missing one.
Made me go back into the 1st fork leg again, to fit the missing part.
I would imagine this to make quite an impact as the lack of the shim will cause stiction as the spring turns back and forth during compression.
All done
I replaced the oil and dust seals while i was in there.
Turns out to be a very simple job
