That would be appreciated, thank you. 

Yesterday my 2002 came the closest yet to stranding me, in 14 years of ownership, when the ignition switch decided to fall apart on top of a cloud covered mountain. A roadside bodge got me home but the switch has had its day, I've certainly lost confidence in trying to fix it given my 9yo is on the back more often than not.

So I look for a spare. P/N is 5LV-82501-00-00 (2 way + 5 way female connectors), and there seems to be nothing out there unless I want to spill 500 notes out of the wallet  Even ebay has nothing second hand.

So in the absence of OEM, has anyone found an alternative or an aftermarket part that fits the yoke correctly and is as near as dam-it, that the wiring can be modified to make it work as intended. I'm handy with electrical work but would like something that is as neat as possible and does not shout "rat bike" when you look at it.
That said..... any options considered.

Got 2 different books on saturday. £38 rrp .....paid the £2 with a smile :-)

Just catching up... pads arrived quickly but thinking of putting the job on hold till i get some replacement lines.

Not getting much quality garage time at the moment

Just orderd the EBC.

Thanks for doing the homework silverdream

No worries... 

You will have to let us know what you think of the EBC's....

Will do 

Now i'm having thoughts about changing the still original brake lines to stainless.... god i'm bored

Hmmm, 3 lines or 2

First off, thanks for Luke for getting the shock n bones to me, Very happy with the result and a huge saving over what i originaly thought i would be paying!

Fitting.... very easy, about an hour an half taking extra care with cleaning, regreasing and torquing.

Next.... the usual comment... didn't realise just how bad the old shock was....but you all knew i was going to say that

so doeas it do all the things a shock should do better?  ....... Oh yes!

Is the bike better in the corners?  ..... Oh yes!

2 Positives i didn't expect. The first is power delivery. Twisting the throttle now sees instant power transfer to the back wheel instead of the back end taking a squat. The whole setup feels a lot crisper

Secondly all the free play in the rear suspension has gone Spent ages last year reading up on this problem and a few attempts at backing off and retorquing to finaly reduce the free play to enough for an MOT advisory rather than a fail.

A Highly recommended upgrade

And back

Basics first, have you kinked  the pipe. Did you deffo switch fuel tap on?

The fuel light is a bit of a red herring as it probably means you havnt reseated the connector on the tank right, however it does mean you've got to lift tank again so you have an excuse to double check everything now 

Also the bike should at least fire with what was left in the carbs so is the cutout switch etc ok?

Choking on the prices of the posh stuff atm

Before i start.... yes i've seen the R6 shock threads   

The old shock is no longer up to handling bike with pillion (ground down center stand....oops!)

My issue is every time i ride the weight i put on the bike changes. Top box can be empty, half full or down right overloaded... Then add in optional pillion/ panniers and what i really need is a shock with remote adjusters because i aint about to get on my hands n knees with the spanner every journey?

What are my options? (if any) and what sort of money am i realisticaly looking at?

TIA
