    Seeing as you're converting a bike that has no lights, you can get a kit that runs off AA batteries for you brake light. They last for something like a whole month of normal riding, but it isn't that hard to get a feed off of your existing stator. A brake light obviously doesn't run all the time like a headlight, the current draw is minimal. @ Bill yes you're right for bikes that have lights already fitted to them. I'm pretty sure Kav has to add them (well, a brake light) to a bike that has none fitted.

    Sorry to hijack the thread, but why did you have to get a metal tank?. None of my supermoto's have had one (CRF450, DR-Z400E).... Lights won't be an issue for the Daytime M.O.T., except for the brakelight.

    I've had loads of problems with bullet connectors, I usually chop them off now & solder/heatshrink the wires.

    I think the main problem will be getting the exhaust quiet enough for the MOT. I used a jubilee clip & a bit of bakedbean can, clamped around the spark arrester on my old DRZ400E

    I've had several supermoto/enduro bikes. Ebay I suppose for bits & local scrap merchants?. Day time M.O.T. you will need: *Rear number plate & refelector (one of those small stick on ones on the number plate will do) *Rear Brake light that works off both Front & rear brake levers. *Horn So not a lot to do really!. A big plus is that it kind of feels rather naughty to ride such a stripped down bike on the roads!

    cool I wasn't 100% sure on that. Apparent;y it has other uses too! http://adc.bmj.com/cgi/content/extract/85/2/121

    If they isn't any obvious obstruction to either the intake or exhaust systems, then first point of call should surely be the ignition system?. I had a car that wouldn't rev, turned out it was suffering from HT breakdown under load.

    Use Clashfan's! Is paraffin safe to use on o-ring chains btw?
