Re: Honda rectifier converted to a Yamaha unit -How to

This looks like the connector you need for that R/R unit - http://kojaycat.co.uk/epages/950000457. ... ts/YAZ6WFW

Re: Denali Soundbomb Mini

I bought and fitted a similar one (fron Nuppy Normans) to my old Versys with no issues using the standard spade connectors.

If you were going for anything larger I would recommend fitting an intermediate relay to switch the horn and power the horn directly from the battery through a fuse.

Also have YouTube videos embedding been fixed?

Seems not :-(
That video is playing in the forum when using my phone to view it so I'm not sure what you mean?

Re: Forum outage and update

Looking through the posts, with the new version, it seems there are a LOT of missing posts. I see some later posts (after the 3rd Jan 2017) are missing from people who had replied after this point. :?: The Birthday announcements.....the Bargain bin (where Mac posted ALDI bargains on the 6th....the ...

Re: Forum outage and update

The other advantage of the updated forum and template is that it renders well when using a phone without using tapatalk. However, I have installed the tapatalk plugin for those who already use it.

Forum outage and update

Hi everyone, Apologies for the forum outage for the last three days. The forum software was getting seriously out of date so I thought I would update it to the next main revision (phpBB3.1). I have done this successfully on other forums without any issues and thought this would be the same hence why...

Re: 2001 VTR1000 , 377 miles

The last Bandit I bought (after the CTC failed on the Storm) had 200 miles on it and was nearly 3 years old. I MOT'd it before I had finished running it in! The guy that had it before had bought it down south right before moving to Fife. He didn't have a garage so it spent nearly two and a half year...

Re: TheGingerBeardMans' 1999 VTR1000F...

Oh, and that looks cleaner than mine, so I hereby pass the OCD baton over to you! :lol: It looked better in the photo's that it did in reality. The forks lowers were not in great condition and the subframe really needed taken off and re-sprayed. The powder coating meant that the wheels polished up ...
