  Help with wiring up a new headlight
Posted by: 74eldiablo - 30-12-18, 09:35 PM - Forum: FZS600 Fazer - Replies (14)

Just after a bit of help as to where to start with wiring up a new headlight, so i sold the original fazer bikini fairing lights n all (to a member on heres friend), i bought myself a new headlight fairing which for the money looks good and the headlight its self looks like it will be better than the original pile of crap.
At the minute all my wiring is still standard and taped up, the new headlamp has 2 x H1 bulbs and only 3 wires coming out of the back which makes things simple for the waterproof connectors i have.
My question is how do i convert the std wiring which was 2 x headlight plugs into 1??is it a case of just cut the std loom and start again, or is there some wizardry to get it working all ok hi/lo beam

Thanks in advance

  Gen 1 thou belly pan SOLD
Posted by: Dea-ville - 29-12-18, 05:39 PM - Forum: For Sale & Wanted - No Replies

Hi all, bought this belly pan a while ago off ebay but never fitted it to my Fazer 1000, looks like a home paint job but not too bad. A little bit of cracking in the paint underneath but this cant be seen when fitted, bag of fittings, looks to be all there but as mentioned i never got around to fitting it. £30 & collection only please from Barnsley, South York's as i don't have a box big enough. Sorry for the very small links, fek knows why it happens but they do work. If no interest i'll bung it on ebay in the next couple of days. Cheers. SOLD

  Electronic chain oiler for a tenner
Posted by: stevierst - 28-12-18, 10:32 PM - Forum: General - Replies (16)


Well I’ve used pretty much all the market Oiler’s over the last 20 years, and they all seem to be flawed in one way or another. And being an engineer I decided to make one of my own, ironing out all the faults of previous purchases!
I’ve made an electronic oiler, and it cost me about a tenner! Yes, a tenner! It switches off when the ignition is off, and is infinitely adjustable! I’ve used it for just over a month or so (500 ish miles) and it’s brilliant so far!
I bought an electronic solenoid valve, an aquarium air valve, some clear aquarium tubing, and an old biro! I also used an old scottoiler lube tube which I had laying around as the reservoir, but you can use any old plastic bottle really. It hasn’t leaked, it’s adjustable in the blink of an eye, and my chain has been lubed even in the last months heavy rain!
As the pics show, it takes up almost no room, the reservoir is under the plastics, and the piping is all hidden away.
1. Shows the aquarium valve
2. Is the electronic solenoid valve plumbed into an ignition live.
3. Is the reservoir which can be absolutely any bottle as long as it fits under the fairing.

  On the tools
Posted by: unfazed - 28-12-18, 05:23 PM - Forum: General - Replies (5)

Saw this on another forum, something we can nearly all relate to  :lol I could add a few more to it and most of us probably could also  Big Grin
Home mechanics advice sheet
DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.
WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh sh --'
SKILL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.
PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.
BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.
HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.
MOLE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.
OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting on fire various flammable objects in your shop. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.
TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.
HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering a bike to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the exhaust.
BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminium sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.
TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.
STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.
PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 p part.
HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short.
HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.
SON OF A BITCH TOOL: Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'Son of a bitch' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need  [img alt=Reply With Quote]https://www.biker.ie/forum/images/grey-biker.ie-irishbikerforum/buttons/quote.gif[/img]
