Can the plugs, male and female be found somewhere? If so, easier to make an adaptor then to cut and solder IMO.Excellent idea, I had not thought about that. That way if it does not read properly I can easily put the OEM forks back on AGAIN
I cannot tell what the wire colors are in one of the photos; do both sensors use black and white wires? If so, a cut, splice and shrink tubing cover will last two lifetimes.The 2010 + plug is completely sealed. That is why I am going to have to agree with you and John, which I really hate to do , the only option is to splice and solder. If it does not work I will have to buy a new stock ABS sensor cable or John should buy it for me because I seem to be doing some R & D for him as well.

Now back to the sensors..... can you give us a better shot of what the pins look like? If so, we may be able to tell you how to remove them or someone may be able to make or get you the parts to make a short adapter harness.

Any way to mechanically adapt a Gen 2 sensor to the 2 screw Gen 1 holes in the Ohlins? Like shave down the plastic on the sensor and mold it with liquid steel or fiberglass?I am sure there is a way to fab something up some how, just not quite sure how yet. Start throwing out ideas. As you can see these sensors are completely different.

If you shaped the plastic bracket properly with a Dremel, it would slip into the hole and not move. Then, you could re purpose the metal bracket from the Gen 1 to hold it all in place...
^^Hey Bill if you ever come out to pick up your windshield maybe you can take a look at this with me.

Haha, if my "kids" and their activities would ever give me an afternoon or weekend to come out there, I might.Bill finally came out to the house to pick up his windscreen that he paid for back in May. He explained to me what he thought would work.
I'm contemplating a trip to Reno around the 25th of September, so I'll definitely make a trip out there before then...

And here is what I did to get this to work:

7. Put sensor back onto Ohlins fork, DONE DEAL!
Thanks Bill.
Next step fabricate a new bracket for my ZX10 fender so I can take the Granny panties/OEM fender back off and show some more GOLD.
