what have you done to your "bike" today

[MacV2]

I bought some new cables for mine a few years ago and they were less than £25
Put your hand in your pocket you cheepskate
or sit on a corner and sell some biscuits

Pete.l

I'm gonna get it done Pete just neeeded a fix to be getting on with...


I was practicing me line to the boss, ''Sorry I cant come in today as I can't get me bike out of the garage...''


For some reason I've had no takes on the commemorative biscuits...

Relocated my R/R.
Had to repair burnt wiring and fitted underseat where the toolbag was.
Drilled 2 holes through the undertray and mounted ontop of it.
Charging @ 14.34v
Will keep an i on the charging.


Oh, i glued the flasher unit in place

Just after this i went to pick up the seat and seat cowl assy and it slipped out my hands and dropped it on the floor
scratching the new paintwork

How much cooling will the RR get there? It uses the frame do get rid of heat so on the plastic it wont, maybe even melt it?

Also what RR is that? Mine only has 1 plug

Agree with Mr Phoenix on the cooling Kev!! Oh and it's a MOSFET Mr P

That concerns me; there's a heat sink on the back that gets hot and is meant to push the heat back into the frame.
If you're going to leave it there I'd suggest bolting it to a nice aluminium or copper bar and drilling a couple of cooling holes in the plastic and duct the air onto it, but trying to avoid getting rain splashing on it, or the connections will rot.
What's wrong with the original site?

[kev64]

its a mosfet, they don't get that hot , but you are right, it uses the frame to dissipate heat
I'm hoping the air gap underneath will be enough, maybe not though, on don't advise people do this on a standard RR !!
And I might also get a piece of Alluminium like Tony says

[popkat]

Mosfet can still get hot, there's lots of different quality Mosfet types and only the best ones do it best.

You also missed a perfect opportunity to earth direct to battery.

If mine I would mount to the frame.

[kev64]

I may still do that, this is a trial fit

[VTR Phoenix]

Ok a mosfet, I've been reading up on the makeup of those. They seem to vary a lot in price, is that just the sellers or to do with the actual parts and quality of the workmanship?

[SmileyVTR]

Left home 09:00 and returned 17:30 after a day bombing around the whole of the Peak District.

Oh, AND DROPPED THE B*TCH!!!!! (0mph walking u-turn on a slope, doh!! She's lasted 18 years & I f****g marked her, a little, grrrrr)

[kev64]

You can buy brand new mosfets and they look the same, from china, but you guessed it the quality is shite,or probably fairly shite,
most folks on here seem to go down the second hand route, think mine came off a triumph, there is a list somewhere

[popkat]

A friend (who also helps at work when there's complicated electrical issues to solve) looked deep into mosfets and found that cheaper ones work similar to normal ones, the best and most expensive are manufactured/come from China, so you could say there's Mosfet and then true Mosfet, I don't know all the details as it took him quite a bit of research to find out.

I love what you have done to your tire! I'll bet it was fun.
