[/quote] Wow they are bright well your mod seems to have the desired effect you were looking for. Just hope they are not to bright and flare off your visor in the rain, I hope they are not too bright and reduce your vision a bit like a having a vehicle coming towards you on main beam with rain on your visor. Keep us informed and let us know how it goes and how you did the mod, it certainly looks tidy with no unsightly wire or connections on view. Neat job W/D :thumbup

Hmmm didn't think of that... Nothing a couple of resistors wouldn't sort out I guess.
I did take a few pictures of my method. Where would I post that?

The MOT due date snuck up on me again, and I figured the rear disc was a bit too far gone so stuck the spare wheel on. I found the rear caliper had not appreciated 17+ years of all weather use. The pistons were almost solid in there, the brake lever moved them slightly, but I couldn't rotate them with the extraction tool. Didn't have time to pop them out and clean them properly so, with great difficulty managed to push them back in enough to suit the new disc, breaking a G-clamp in the process. How, I don't know, but the brake worked and didn't even drag. The MOT tester didn't like the slightly grooved disc (glad he didn't see the bad one!), but otherwise was happy… though took some convincing that the odometer was working correctly. :lol

Nothing better than getting your hands dirty  Luckily i didnt have to remove my swingarm (probably should have though...) Think I got quite lucky as front sprocket nut looks as though it was changed at some point so wasnt too tight at all. Did you check tool pouch under your seat for shock spanner?

Received a nip for 74 in a 60mph zone ,pleased as I went over the line almost on the front wheel only could've been a lot worse !!!

Nothing better than getting your hands dirty I don't mind getting my hands dirty I only removed the swing arm as I just wanted to check over the bearings and also give it a good clean when it was off, added bonus as was going to change the spring but couldn't find my spring compression tools so I've just put it back on for now (the tool bag doesn't cover removal of the spring ) Just hoping I've managed to put enough pressure on the link rivets for it to hold, don't know if they're over far enough for my liking

Measure the diameter of the flared end Recommended flared diameter of the rivet for a 530VX chain is between 5.7mm - 6mm :thumbup

Took the thou for it's MOT and passed with no advisories once again
Front brakes are binding a little which is weird as a I cleaned them up and put in new front pads about 2 weeks ago. So I guess may be time for new seals... may have to look in to a new timing chain at some point as well as the bike is ticking when it is cold - I already tried the giving it a thrashing technique... a few times, just to be sure :evil
