That's not a bra, it's a suspension bridge

There seems to be a variety of those switches on fleabay. The one I have is the same as yours, yet it worked a twin set of extra running lights I fitted to the 500 with 50 Watts per light, direct of the battery, without issue

I think what Linux Rob is trying to say is do not connect any other wires to the switch apart from the white wire if wired correctly the switch you have in your pic is more than capable of carrying the load

I reckon there is a slight difference in the two output shafts so gear teeth are not compatible so it doesn't turn the selector enough to engage the gear. Considering you had the same problem trying the new shaft with the original selector box points to the new shaft not being right

Anyone fancy meeting up at Rugby and know any decent cafes for us to gather at?

Heard the one about the dolphin suffering from depression? A shark damaged its nose and its lost all sense of porpoise

Have you tried checking the ring gap with them in the barrel as it is now? If that is correct I would leave it be

Think I may pop along to this

Throughout my machining career I always aimed for the middle tolerance on anything I made. Not only was that the size things were meant to be, it gave you leeway if there was any play in the machining equipment and allowed for wear on the cutting /forming tools. Anyway, on topic, have you got a digital vernier to hand? A 12" one should have Jaws big enough to measure the skirt, though it is very difficult to get an accurate reading on a taper. My suggestion, get a metal plate and cut a hole in it to the central tolerance and put the piston in it and measure how far it has dropped in the hole. If the hole is cut to the mid limit and the piston drops in 5mm,or whatever the measurement point should be then the piston will be fine

Hippy burpday @jedibiker,

Happy birthday @oldgrump

Have you tried manualslib. com?

Get yourself an original cx 500 that was one ugly bike, but I agree, a lot of modern bikes look like they belong in a power rangers or transformers film

I blew my reg/rec by jumpstarting my bike from my brothers car because we left the engine running

Who's hand did you cut off for the left hand bit

Textiles are not meant to be tight or a snug fit, the best you can hope for is the waist size and leg length fit you

I carry these babies on the bike. Both ratchets are shorter than my middle finger

According to visor down Sinnis is actually British, but assembled in China

Oh woe is me. A brain the size of a planet and all I get to do is make the tea

Just got back from Sixfields not a bad turn out of HDs, so took some pics/video

Ask awy. You may even get advice about what biscuits to eat

The newsfeed I saw was slightly wrong. It will be Harleys and Buells on Saturdays run, anyway starts at 09.30 from the cobblers carpark

Happy Birthday Ian. Don't get too much sun over there

Yay! The good old King Billy bikers pub in Northampton is reopening on Saturday. Along with the vintage do it's looking like a good weekend. The landlord is bringing back the Thursday night bands, and hopefully we'll get some jam sessions in

It would be nice to meet up with others from here at the event
