Wow! Looking great, glad you made use of them. They have been sitting in a draw for around 10yrs after I took them off my cb550four cafe racer :D

I think that's the best of both worlds, the twin headlight look but it looks like it came from the factory..... :thumbup:
That's exactly what I was trying to achieve :lol:

What have I done to me bike today?

Took the cover off. Washed, waxed, autosol on the hangers and heel plates, checked the tyre pressures and inner treads.

Fitted old 1980s American bike alarm (off the Honda Wing) and annoyed the hell out of the neighbours whilst running through all the different screams it makes. :twisted:

Here's a Youtube link to hear it (not my video, but the same noise) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdsuUlEP57g

The alarm has 4 settings for "tilt" sensitivity (so it doesn't go off with the wind), and it cycles through all those 6 noises you hear on the video.

Ok, it's not state of the art alarm and has no immobiliser, but by Christ, it's LOUD! And as I have the Storm chained with Monster lock, Abus Shackle etc, I thought I'd add another "leave me bike alone" factor.

It's meant to have a remote range of 80 meters, so I walked 200ft away and pressed the panic/find me in a car park button. Works a treat!

Happy I pee'd everyone off and upset the local cats n' dogs, I then put the cover back over her. :thumbup:
If it ain't broken...f*ck about with it until it is.
