bonio Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Fitted the new indicator unit. Put the old one aside as an emergency spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullscreenaging Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Fitted a Denali sound bomb mini. (Still twice as big a the OEM) Bought a relay harness off eBay in order for it to work as it blew the horn/brake light fuse on test. 113dB should wake the dozy ones up!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHorton Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 In the paint protection thing I've just had a wrap type paint protection on the tank of my Africa Twin adventure sports. Having the tank bag and noticing the style and size of the tank would mean the paint on the sides too would most likely get scratched I had the tank covered. Apparently if I do get any scratches it should self heal with hot water poured over it. I'll use acf for the vulnerable bits I did give it a blast over with an air sprayer and acf on purchase and will have the usual applications over the winter.

They are meant to be plug and play with no need for a relay. But I found that mine wouldn't work off the standard wiring on either bike when it was new. I ran it several times off an alternative power supply and that seemed to break it in a bit and it now works on the original wiring. But only with the engine running, with just the ignition on it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only with the engine running, with just the ignition on it doesn't. I fitted one to my Mutley and it was literally plug and play. Sounds so much better than the oem thing which had an embarrassing little squeak of a noise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHorton Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 A short ride out just to blow away the cobwebs and stress today. Couldn't stop off at the local airfield today as it was closed off the secret squirrels landed for a while. Still nice to get out for a bit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeHorton Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 No a bit further north halfpenny green in South staffs. A popular stop off for the AAC in their Apaches it has a nice cafe and it's off the beaten track only a small airfield. I dunno what they were up to but a few men in black transferring boxes from a Peugeot to the dauphins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said same helicopters would land on an adjacent property... Very strange. Was a mix of civvies and serving forces who were using their leaving allowance (i was using my retraining allowance to upskill). I would stare in amazement at the covert goings on. They just laughed and said we knew nowt.....lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 North East of Gloucester you have Cheltenham which is home to GCHQ so you do see the odd military helicopter flitting about. Mind you it's quite likely some big wig on the way to the races! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe85 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 The problem with sitting on Zoom calls all day is I spend copious amounts of time browsing accessories and random shite to buy for the bike. Today i wasted money on a GoPro. I'm also fighting the impulse to buy a used enduro bike for Green Laning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fro Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Stripped it of it's Chinese fairings... ...and fitted OEM. It's taken many years to track down a few good condition used (and reasonably priced) panels but it looks so much better! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
