Cheers Mark.

That would be me but I rarely look where I'm going anyway.

They are reasonable, pretty good for a bike but I can't say as I wouldnt get a HiD conversion if I was throwing money round.

Washed the bike the other day. As I watched water trick down the tank under the fairing I was thinking "I had that off earlier and there were a fair few wires with shoddy insulation". Needless to say, I left it standing for a few days before it got ridden. It's stored in the garage though, and as it's a weekend hack, it generally only sees dry weather, but now you mention it, I may be in for some excitement the first downpour I'm caught in.

Edit: Having said that, I'm sure we got rained on once on a ride out and it lived to tell the tale.

My bigger concern would be what the rain does to the Sellotape holding the frame together. Should at least upgrade that to Duct tape before the real wet weather kicks in.

Says Mr gouged swing arm, as it creaks and groans where it's be filed away, waiting to snap.

I however have addressed the cause of my "streamlined and polished section of swingarm" and am satisfied that the remaining material is substantial enough for my needs. You on the other-hand have a frame of unknown composition, sourced from many bikes and the contents of a stationery cupboard by the looks of it.

But the welding is top notch!

Would join in but to close to Guildford to make it worth it!
