  1. Roxter ones on ebay. Less than £30 delivered. They are differently branded oxford ones, they even turn up occasionally with Oxford branded stuff in the box.
  2. Apart from being knocked unconscious for a fair time, my caberg did it's job and no head injuries in a big crash. It stayed closed despite being fairly externally battered.
  3. Heated grips and muffs, keep warm and dry, heated insoles and a heater vest thing. Nice and toasty.
  4. I've used caberg flip helmets for years, always comfy and suit me. 5* sharp rated and survived a big off a couple of weeks ago after making quite obvious contact with the road. It knocked me out but have absolutely no injuries to my head. It was time to replace it anyway, nearly a year old but I didn't plan on doing it this way.
  5. If there is anything specific you want, give me a shout. I can do cut vinyl or full colour printed stickers to suit. Whatever size you need to cover it with.
  6. .
  7. If it's something low powered, don't worry about a relay, just take the live from the brake light switch supply. It'll only be live with ignition on and will be fused via the bike system.
  8. It has to be in resaleable condition. Would you buy a helmet with the new stickers and tags missing?
  9. Insurance doesn't cover a broken key unless you paid for key cover. You can buy broken key extraction kits. Using both bits you can get a key cut if you don't have a spare to copy. I can't see where you are but anywhere near salisbury and I'll get it out for you.
  10. I use a basic but reliable cyclone alarm via ebay for under £30 and a Datatool Snitcher which texts me if anyone tampers with it. Disk lock and a cover on it, so far so good.
  11. Generally it's ok but if in a newer build property it may be prohibited under the terms of planning. This would show up on the deeds. Ask the neighbours, someone will know.
  12. Or do a ohm test with meter to see if the earth is ok.
  13. When it's cold (to avoid covering yourself with boiling water) take the radiator cap off and start the bike, rev it and you'll see the water rushing about and likely the level will drop a bit when revved. This shows your pump is fine, if the pump wasn't working it wouldn't take many minutes long to boil up. Put a meter on the terminals of the fan switch and run it to see if it switches when hot enough, problem being that the fan won't come on while you are going this, best to put a test light between the output of the switch while still connected and the battery and see if it comes on at all. Sounds like the head gasket could be stuffed, this could show by making the hoses hard by pressurising the system when running and would likely make water exit the radiator filler swiftly when the cap is off while running. Boiling up a bike is a swift way to a screwed head gasket so if it's not this, you need to sort it before it is.
  14. Decent shoes work be be better, his feet would sweat less.
