Will have a look at that.
I'm guessing they have a lot of parts out there?
Cleaned a couple more earths up yesterday but no difference as yet!

10 points haha
Yeah. Had a misbehaving throttle so all came apart and then my ideas got hold : D
Feels very strange to ride but I love it.
Changed the look of the bike all over really. Jut need tiger tidying the front up a bit now.
Need some nice small round foldable mirrors now.
Got new grips on the way from sunny china too :D

So, another update...
She's fixed and fully functional!
Found the fault - the inline fuse holder itself was dodgy.
Happened to look up whilst playing around with it and saw the beautiful sight of a glowing neutral light!!
So. All good? No.
My back is killing me after the bars were swapped over. I'm on total denial it's the bike but fear I may have to revert or get a straight bar that is just slightly higher.
She also has her first pin stripe on the tail piece.
Lots to do still however.

Good plan on the bars, most motorcyclists laugh at flipped bars anyway...... :lol: Some superbike bars should be fine.

Yeah had the laughs. But it is genuinely a nicer bike to ride like this. Just too low.
Certainly don't want to put it back to silly high bars.
Had people comment on the bike since I did it too. Haha

Glad you found the electrical problem. 99% of the time it's the simple things like connectors, grounds, pinched wires etc - but there are so many of them - and visual "might" look OK but sometimes you just need to start sleuthing everything - including bypassing the connector(s) etc and just work through it bit by bit.

+1 on the superbike bars.

When do you loose the [L] ?
