Well done that man
When I’m using my trailer I can’t see it unless I twist one of my mirrors down and even then I have to leave go of the handle bar and lift my arm up
Made a bracket at work and fixed it at the back of the trailer on the left hand side
Haven’t tried it out yet but I’m sure with the dayglow tip and the Triumph lanyard flapping about it will be visible in my left hand mirror with the added bonus of still being able to see what’s going on behind me
Going to the farmyard rally on the fifteenth with some mates and carrying a pillion so this will be a big help going up Sutton Bank

 

Fitted a new front left indicator 'cos the old one, oddly enough, decided to break off for some strange reason. Weird it was, as I had just checked everything was working ok (it was) and when I looked back at the indicator a few moments later it was dangling down - I hadn't touched it .... honest!
I got a new one from Cardiff Motorcycles aka Scooter and Bikes (.co.uk if you feel the need) for what seemed a very reasonable £13.20 plus p&p (around £3.60 ish). My expectations weren't too high but it turned out to be an exact replica with the correct connector and even a bulb included. What's more .... it works!!!
Then I went for a celebratory 70 mile ride.
Happy days!
(My inner Yorkshireman forced me to keep the old lens, reflector, bulb, wiring and screws as they were unscathed).

 

Is that down near Oxford (A421 or something?), next to a shop that sells bike stuff? I used to go down to Reading on occasion and stopped there for breakfast on the way. They did good fried bread!

 

That's the one

 

Thank god for that ! When I first saw the picture I thought you were going to take up colonoscopy as a hobby ffs !

 

Working away from Home yesterday and tomorrow, good news.

 

I don't rate their food very highly. Had a breakfast bap there one morning and the ingredients were bland and very cheap, plus the service was barely indifferent. I know they have a good captive(ish) audience but it would not be hard to make it a great place to eat.

 

After 2 days of WD40 soaking into the caliper….yippeeee it all came apart. Any of you guys used Powerhouse seal kits off Ebay???? Any good??? TBH the piston seals should be fine. Pistons are clean so its just the slider bracket seals to replace which they want £20 for. If it was pistons aswell...I think id go OEM.

As I was in tinkering mood I whipped off the front calipers to clean them out check pads etc & all was fine. As the bitch wont start no MOT etc im sure these will seize up again before I find out how nice they are.....

Have fun chaps!

 

Yes I used Powerhouse when I refurbed the 3 pot caliper I fitted to my Bonnie, I dealt with Paul via eBay, very helpful, even split a twin set refurb kit for me.

Ride safe.

Brian.

 

Thank you very much Brian!!!!!! Just the reply I was hoping for!

 

Went on a good ride to start off June right. Dodged rain all day till the end and still only got caught in about a 5 minute downpour. Considering some local areas within a short drive have been having flooding and landslides, I’m lucky to have any good weather!

 

Very nice Jez !!!!

 

Triumphant Jez

 

There was a show at the Trike and Sidecar Day at Jacks Hill Caff today but Half Ton and I did not actually see @Dozers Dad get awarded the prize. He assures us that he did not stop off at the trophy shop in Towcester on the way in and here he is proudly showing it off with Asbo beside him (and a clearly distracted @half ton).

Asbo's award by Trevor Laight, on Flickr

It's a well deserved win as it's a lovely bit of kit, even if Jez does seem to use it most as a coffee table...
