How do you find the HID light Derek ?
I've always been put off by the moving mirror thing in the H4 ones.

Thanks for that. I went with the new one in the end so its all good.

Hi Guys Quick question. Which of these front sprockets is correct. The old one is more offset outwards with the sprocket face to the outside. The new one has the sprocket more central with a boss either side. The reason I ask is that the old sprocket has signs of wear on the outer face implying that...

Finally got around to rewiring my clock today. I'd bought a little mini-switch from Maplins which I was going to mount on the dash panel opposite the trip knob but decided to rejig the wiring under the seat instead. Quite glad I did as the 4 (yes four !) green & black wires jumped straight out o...

Took my ignition switch to bits & you can see what it was like inside. All cleaned up & switching away happily now.

Hi Stiv I'm Derek's pal from Galloway. I'd certainly be interested in a paso event but like my Northern chum it all depends on location & timing. We're all busy people after all. Personally I don't like camping. Just so you know. May is busy as is September. On the up side in the last 2 years I ...

Looks good.
I'm still down for a set.

I may have sent a direct e-mail but can't remember.

Robbie

Thanks !
That's exactly what I needed.

Well I've owned the bike from new & it's never had a dust cover.
Maybe the later models did without ?

Just to draw this thing to a close it turns out my expensive Odyssey battery had died. It was sent back to the seller for testing & although it would take & hold a charge it couldn't output enough power to start a bike. Unfortunately buried in the Odyssey guarantee small print is a specific ...

I've got an intermittent glitch in my ignition switch which occasionally kills the power. Usually when I hit a bump at low speed. Jiggling the key remakes the connection & we're off again. I'd like to strip & clean the switch before it gets any worse. Can anyone tell me if it is easy to sepa...

My rear caliper has never had a dust cover over the pads.
The older style Brembos on my Laverda & BMW do but not these ones.

Well here's a funny thing. Hooked up the Optimate & disconnected the earth lead. A few days later the battery reads 12.9 volts on my cheapo meter so I switch off the charger & wander off. Today I hooked the earth lead back up, checked the voltage & it's as flat as a pancake again despite...
