I have found an adjustable indicator holder that fits on the back of the number plate. this should give me just enough movement so the panniers dont foul. Also hardly any modding apart from maybe extendeing the indicator wires.
Thanks for the replies.
Cheers John

Thanks Robbo, I never thought to look for universal  . All I want to do is to move the indicators further back so they dont get fouled when I put the throw over panniers on. Cheers John

Thanks for the input guys. I have seen some adjustable pegs on Ebay that r 30mm adjustable so I may give them a try. I have recently had a seat mod and I think they took the padding out which lowered it a bit.
Cheers John

Has anyone fitted adjustable rider foot pegs? having long legs I find the ride slightly cramped, I thought if I could lower the pegs slightly it may help. I was wondering if there was any problems altering the brake and gear selectors?Cheers John

Hi guys, has anyone fitted additional brake/stop/indicators to panniers? I was thinking of doing this but was hoping someone had already done it and could give advise on the best lights.Cheers John

I always use digger, top job and not too expensive.

Looks good, I wanted a digital speedo but I ended up getting white dials with bigger numbers.

Hi guys, I have just balanced the carbs and then checked the TPS, the reading was 10, I read on here it should be 5 so I have adjusted it to 5.Looking through the Haynes manual it says the 5 setting is for bikes before 2003 and the later bikes you have to measure the resistance on the wires.Does anyone know if I have done wrong?Cheers John

Thanks for the info, you were right about the nut, I had to put the bike into gear and stand on the brakes to move it.
Cheers John

Hi guys, I am going down the route of a 4 digree ignition advancer, I have removed the cover and my ignition pick up is marked "Denso 4xv" does anyone know is this an origional item or does the 4xv mean its a 4 digree advance?

I have now fitted the can to the bike, I have tried it with the baffle in and out but there appears to be no noticable difference at the moment. I think I will leave it in,

Hi guys, a while back I got myself a SP Engineering can n link pipe. I thought I would take out the baffle before fitting it and just replace for the mot next year. When removed its only about 2" long and just fits into the last bit it the pipe. Would this be right? the last time I removed the baffles they were about 6" long and went right into the can. Perhaps its been cut down to give the appearance of having a baffle fitted? Any Ideas? Thanks John

I followed most of the instructions when I did mine a few weeks ago, my fuel guage goes down when ignition is off so I did not bother taking the fuse out. When you have sorted it, it does make a big difference

Thanks very much Falcon, the new seals are fitted and new fork oil in both forks, try again for the mot next week, it looked harder in the manuals than it actualy was to do.

hello guys, what a p1sser!, checked bike over before I took it for MOT n all seemed well, got to mot station and front fork had blown a seal on the way there :-( needless to say it failed.
I have stareted to strip down the forks to replace the seal but when I took the top cap of the forks I forgot to measure where the lock nut was on the damper rod (numpty). Is there a standard measure for this? or should it be the same measurement as the other fork?
The good news is the MOT guy said apart from that its it excellent condition
Any help would be most apreciated
Cheers John

Reggit, tried what you said, center stand, put it into second but grabbed the front brake. It works, I feel better now knowing, time to move onto the next mod

Thanks for all the input guys, I guess I will have to wait till I take it for an MOT to try it

Hi guys, I have recently replaced my dials with white ones and followed the instructions on the link on the site. I Plugged the speedo back in and tried it, everything seems to work fine, rev counter fuel guage, all the lights. I wanted to check the speedo and as the mot is up and its on a sorn I dont want to risk riding it down the street. As the speedo is electronic, if I put the bike on the stand and put it into gear should the speedo work then? I am assuming the speedo drive is in the gearbox. I did say it was a stupid question sorry
