XTreme Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 It's taken 6 weeks but my handguards are now fitted! You may remember that I couldn't get one of the bar end Torx bolts to come out. Anyway.....it's now sorted! Not by me I should point out.......cos I'm not temperamentally suited to using tools. But I know someone who is......and he has Loadsa Fucking Tools! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tym Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 If you think thats trick the bike will be hard wired to accept a class 2 120v AC 60Hz 500mA to 13.5v DC 1500mA power supply. Means i can hang her on a wall and plug her in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he cant farkle and light up he sells his ride as "Stealth Beemer" due to general lack of interest. That takes some spin to pull that off! Expand Have I ever mentioned this bike is fucking brilliant? I did have a vid from today but I couldn't publish it cos it's just full of motoring infractions from start to finish. Frankly I'm amazed I can maintain that same level of consistency for nearly 50 years! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I'm charging my phone on the bike as i use it for off road navigation and the battery just smooths things out at tick over. I also think the capacitor is duff on the reg/rec as the side and tail light flicker like hell at tick over, i picked a new capacitor up this week its one of my jobs on the weekend to change it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Mine has done that from when I got it, but only when cold at slightly lower tick over rpm. When warm it evens out a little but you can see the pulses in the lights. Not that I care too much about the lights anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
