Ignition switch relocation.

Yep....a good guy all round. He actually used my cruddy black plastic speed/rev counter covers as a template to making the stainless steel ones he sells on his web site..if you look he uses with my permission of course some photos I sent him of the finished covers... Ah, fame at last, my picture gone public & for once not on a wanted poste!

 

Talking of bling....do ya like my new massive indicators?

 

Well, it`s funny you should say that thebiglad......they were very, very expensive £180)!!!! yes not a misprint, I fitted them & to be honest i whole heartedly agree with you. Because of their size they are not the brightest Ive ever used or seen..... so, I emailed the company (D&O Cafe Racers) & said just that to them. After a slow response from them, all`s they said was that they fit them to all their custom bikes & they have never had any trouble, but I think they are dangerous on the road. they are not "e" marked at all & will prove questionable @ MOT time.
I will continue to email the company but I`m not holding out much hope of getting my money back.
A shame really as they are very discreet but just not bright enough & after spending £180 on them they should in my mind at least be both functional & discreet at the same time. But that`s the joys of buying stuff off the internet....Not!

 

Yep.....Two hopes...Bob hope & no hope!!!!

 

If Im being honest although I cannot prove, I think they have been adapted from LED number plate bolts....they look exactly the same, but just with a amber light set/chip in them. Well, I`ve packaged them up today after a nightmare trying to get them off the bike undamaged, so only time will tell if I get my money back, but I seriously think they are "unfit for purpose" for safe road use & as Indicator overlord (AKA thebiglad) says....He`s only got his biker friends at heart & that`s a nice quality from someone i`ve never met....don`t you think?
Ride safe Gentlemen this Christmas

 

Could be worse I guess......Could be "old Flasher"!!!!!!!!!

 

crispey......we will have to meet up next year & compare bikes......perhaps @ the Ace cafe if your buying??? what say you???? perhaps we could even have a Ace cafe Thruxton (Hinckley) day...what about that?????

 

sorry......respect to "well known members"
Funny though eh???

 

yeah....sorry. must of been a moment of stupidity. Don`t know what come over me...still I know it wasn`t pee

 

Well, I`m certainly up for a meet at the Ace.....Trouble is my thruxton wont start if it can even smell road salt let alone see it!!!!! + she is in a few bits at the moment whilst I sort out the indicators, (which should be soon as a very good mate has made me some on his lathe & they look the muts nuts), but hopefully,all will be well by spring....Ive also got a secondary AI kit to put on + K&N filter & possibly a pretech 6 pot caliper if I can get it made as I want it...Oh yes + 2 new tyres + EBC (with gold inset) front rotor too, so you may have to buy the tea as Im officially skint now. & if your all wondering why Im spending a bit on the old girl.....Its so I dont sell her & get a 1200R!!!!!BUT........
Come spring tho................................
Tea @ the Ace sounds well.......Ace crispey
