For I have spanners and no bloody idea what I am doing Just got My grubby little mitts on a Tiger 800XC (12) and I am already up to no good and shenanigans with her. Plans are.. Dual Battery System so that the sod doesn't decide to die on me again.. already done it once whilst trying to set the clock with the engine off XD Solar Trickle Charger. So I can bugger off into the wild yonder and get very very lost without getting stranded. Update the panniers and backbox (it has what can only be described as water tanks on the sides, custom made by the previous owner) Swapping the blinkers out for LED. mainly for visibility.. but bulbs are a pain in the bucket Mirrors.. bit ratty.. and look like they came out of the 80's Seat.. squeaks like a mouse is in the danged thing Tires.. need to get a bit of girth going on. Have a liking for Scorpion Rally STR Changing the weird little accessory port for a watertight USB/usbC socket.. There has to be a kit out there somewhere.. damned if I can find one though. Brain.. wait.. no.. thats me.. not the bike.... So I am probably going to be driving you lot a little nuts.. But.. Better Nutty.. Than ..well... No.. I'm just part squirrel. But If anyone has any ideas or suggestions. They will be gratefully received and save me from myself.. or at least my bank balance and possibly my sanity.. wait.. no.. thats already long gone haha. See you all out on the roads of North Yorkshire... and more.. if I get bored and forget where I was going I may end up in France... wouldn't be the first time. The Yorkshire Mad Scientist.
Welcome from another Yorkshireman and look forward to your posts. Don't forget to ensure any add-ons are via a fused supply as you don't want any fires now do we
Welcome to the forum I don't think you can replace the Hella socket with a USB one, you can only get plug in adapters of varying kinds. The roads of North Yorkshire were a bit mucky this morning - the aftermath of a trip to Masham.
Wouldn't be the first time... Probably won't be the last Well, I am fond of this one particular bolt... It holds the number plate on.. Its half black and half yellow so it lines up with a letter... which is cool.... The Chonkers are already on. Been a busy boy.
Give me five minutes... I have a CRAZY idea and a box of bits.. ~ Yep.. I can taste pennies and sulphur didn't work XD Will have to see if I can bump into you at some point. Masham is fun.. The Middlesmoor run up past Leighton reservoir is my usual go to if I need a blasting of the cobwebs. Although, I tend to scare the hell out of people who go with me. Grew up in Lofthouse so I know the roads to an unnerving degree.. and may go a little too fast for some peoples liking...
