In the season of squashed flies, what are we all using to move the buggers off our visors....especially whilst out and about?

Gents...
I have a Micron can on my bike and have found one of the wire lugs that the retaining spring hooks into has nearly worn through. I have new springs to go on but fear they will now cut through the metal eye. How can I strengthen it?

Just renewed a car policy and insurers have asked for a photocopy or scan of all our driving licences....never been asked that before and not sure for security reasons if I should supply them. Views?

Who's doing what with spark plug caps? I'm thinking of putting the NGK straight caps on (no problems, just precautionary maintenance) but what happens to the OE circular seals? I assume they serve a purpose but are integral to the stock caps. I wonder if they could be modded to fit over the leads above the new plug caps??
Views?

Bennetts have just refused my cashback on the bike policy. No justifiable reason so in my view they are a complete set of tw4ts. At least the internet is here to let others know about their antics. Yes I know that cashback is never guaranteed but when it is declined for untrue reasons it generates a moan like this....TW4TS
Rant over...have a nice day everyone.

just ordered a bottle of acf50 and whilst it may be a bit late now, I wonder what the views are of this product...and any tips for application. (not used it before and bike only really comes out in winter on dry days).

Can someone assist please?....whenever there is a link to video footage on these threads I cant see them. I can see the screen in the post but if I click on to watch it just goes blank, although I can hear it and the bar progresses to show it is playing.. I can watch the videos direct on youtube.

The last two times I have started the bike from cold it's taken many attempts to catch. (I don't use choke)
I'm not sure if this is a problem or not yet and will see how the next few go. bike has a new battery with loads of umph so not that.
What would you set about checking?
Its not ivanised (that I know of).
When it does fire its very lumpy until I can gradually increase revs. When its warm it runs fine so I don't think its a carb balance problem. It also starts straight away when warm.
This isn't a major issue yet but looking for suggestions to investigate.
I realise all stock fazers can be a little tricky to start but the last couple have seemed worse.

I've been fitting braided hoses to the bike yesterday and the instructions suggested 12-24lb.ft torque for the banjos (stainless). The manual says 30Nm which isn't vastly different. what I did find and I recall the same when I fitted to my old xt600 that I had to go beyond that torque to get a seal. Have others found the same?

On one of the cage forums I use it is possible to see if a member is online. Has that been considered here?

How about a game of pass the parcel? Just an idea that may gain some momentum if anyone is interested....how about we make a mascot and pass it round the country? Rule would be you collect from one foccer and pass to another foccer, that way we meet a few fellow foccers....no timescale necessary so we can deliver on good days to avoid the rain!
Maybe some clever foccer can track it on a map?
Anyone interested on developing the idea.....we could even ad some pics as the mascot travels around?

I want to do a valve clearance check....something I have never done before. (Bike now done 26k miles).
I have looked at the service manual and want to have a go myself but just wonder about a couple of things.
Is access easy enough? The AIS is removed.
Will I need new gaskets?
How long should it take me?....Oh, that's three things!
Anything else for a 'first timer'?
Thanks
