Yeah everyone knows congas should be kept moving...and participants need to have just enough co-ordination before they get too drunk to do the side kick. Not sure what benefit a speedo cable would have at all. :?

Check out the style!!!
I wired up the horn and it didn't work. I put it down to the current isn't right or the wave type is bad.
So, I revved the bike. No horn. Then I installed a diode and revved the bike. No horn. The horn s a 1.5A horn. It seems like the horn required more juice than the bike can supply.
So, on my way to getting the blue slip done tomorrow I am going to pick up a little honky horn from the bicycle shop which is completely legal. Honk Honk.

Here's the license plate light at night. It works well.

And with the brake light on.

I am a Dingus! Guess who connected two negatives to the horn and wondered why is wasn't working? Me! Freicken Frankenstein. So. I have a plan. I have spent $20 on a secret weapon that is going to add to the RL. It was going to use this instead of the horn that I thought didn't work. Now that I know the horn works I am going to add this little gem of fun anyway. BTW I am keeping my smiley honky horn too. Rego plates this week!!!

Today I replaced the chain tensioner block with a KTM chain roller. It's a 42mm roller. I also packed the chain tensioner arm in toward the centre of the bike to stop the chain from rubbing on it. It cost me 60 cents to pack the chain arm. hee hee hee hee :-$

Hi Westy

Looking at your pics I cant seem to find a rear view mirror attached to the bars.
Do you still need a mirror these days?
