back to the workshop side of things whats the deal with changing out oem clutch lines for braided ones?

reading an old post there is talk of squirting fluid up from the bottom of the system to re-fill? sounds fiddly?.

I bought a cybercarl catheter bag style bleeding kit and can lay my hands on a syringe.
also got these

OK, I'll stick the tuning forks in, an' all.

Should be able to fork something up, and bodge it back together again.

I would also like to fit a 12v charger socket, but I don't know what one to buy or how the hell to fit it, all I know is i'd like it up front for my sat nav mount on the top yoke, any suggestions as to what one to buy and how/where to mount it???

You can do what I did. Buy a switch, waterproof charger and I have plenty of twin core and can get my hands on terminals if you want to make one? Let me know so I know what parts to get :thumbup:
