    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Electrical: bike starts lights go on,checked all the fuses,ok,BUT no horn,indicators or brake light.
    I’ve scratched my head,checked connections,all seems ok,
    But it seems like it’s something infuriatingly simple.
    Any ideas?

    Fuse number 7 for horn, indicator and brake light, have you tried a new fuse?

    Could be a broken wire or short in that circuit :confused:

    Don't know if the attached diagram is of any help...

    I had the same circuit blow when the indicator wire got trapped behind the headlamp frame and wore through on my Speedmaster.

    Hello,
    I’ve got a question regarding front forks.
    Has anyone out there fitted the YSS emulators,and if so,can you tell me what improvements they had?
    So far I’ve fitted progressive springs with the compression adjusters which have improved the front end and YSS shocks on the back.
    So the real question is whether I’ll notice a real improvement if I fit the emulators?
    Thanks in advance.

    I haven’t tried them but chasing the last few % of potential improvements can be disproportionately expensive to the actual benefit gained.......
    Part of the Bonnie’s charm is a certain old school resistance to being hurried too much. If you wanted a Street Triple......

    Hello,
    Can anybody tell me what heated grips work with the inch bars 2002-2016 or there abouts?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Ok cheers mate,I’ve fitted Daytona grips in the past,but the Oxfords seem to have good feedback and presumably they can go straight on the battery because of the intelligent switch?

    The heated grips are now sorted and thanks to Half Ton for the heads up on the Oxford grips.
    I’ve now noticed that the indicators flash more quickly on one side,than the other.Am I right in thinking this needs a relay replacement,or is it something more simple than that?
    All the bulbs are working and flash,so it’s not the bulbs.
    Thanks in advance

    Mine came up ‘as new’ from an ultrasonic bath. Removes all oxidation and tarnish/varnish.
