I bought one of those 12V combined pump/lamp/flasher things, they're all made in the far east and seem to be marketed under various names - available from Argos/Halfords/Motorists shops etc for around £15.

I thought it'd be crap and wouldn't last, but apart from the awful noise it makes it's plodded on for years now, and I wouldn't go back to a foot jobbie, no way. [-X

If you have a fused link for an Optimate, you could plug it in that, or add a standard ciggy lighter socket somewhere (you can get splash proof ones).

Halfords do some 12V ones marketed as by Michelin, no idea if they're any good, but you'd hope with a "real" name on them they might be OK? :?

naah its cool - not really a problem - just curious that im putting the right ammount of air in.
if not i can always ride to the garage - leave the bike for a few mins and take it out.


coor - its a lovely day today,aint it ?
