Take it from before the controller, as after the controller would be for the motor, so no use for this. I'd tap off from between the battery/controller and insert a small 2-way or 3-way fuse block which will make it easy to run future electrical extensions from. This fuse block can be mounted...

For the laser to be reasonably visible in daylight it will either have to be unfeasibly powerful or be beamed too close in front of the bike. My money's on the latter, and if it's that close, it's actually being a hindrance; by purporting to alleviate one alleged problem it's doing nothing more...

I use one of these (or its immediate predecessor), picked up as NOS for a song on ebagum... Senso Remarkably comfortable, especially combined with front suspension and a fat rear tyre. I recently purchased one of these, but need to find an adaptor bracket.. Brooks B66 Kernledersattel Men

There was also the logistical problem of supporting a squadron of unique aircraft with almost no spares or fuel compatability with any other aircraft in the field, so no nipping over to the nearest base and scrounging parts. Secondly, the Meteor's engines weren't rated to run very long between...

I ended up being persuaded by one of these - no matter if it's not as waterproof as claimed, I can fix that. I was mostly persuaded by the funky housing and the clamp. Also the possibility of shoehorning an MR16 into that - I expect more powerful MR16s will come out sooner or later and if the...

I must remember that, next time it happens.

I don't see a Meteor bothering a V2 much. :)

I fell about laughing/gasping in horror when I saw the price of the specialised brake fluid and also makers' own-branded shock oil. I knew they were at it, of course, but such profiteering on the backs of the technically-challenged is unjustified and pretty descpicable.

Cash in hand to the value of the bike and make sure it's not fake cash, either. You have to stand firm with possible time-wasters and crooks. A genuine buyer won't balk at reasonable measures and it's a valuable way to gauge their integrity and intentions.

Take a positive feed through a 15A fuse, to a handlebar pushbutton, down to the horn and the neg from the horn back to the battery neg. Pay careful attention to proper insulation and keeping the wires tidy - you don't want shorts.

Right, here's something else to cloud the issue, but pick and choose to suit yourself. I discovered these pages because I'm looking to re-life a pair of what were expensive yard torches, both running off 6V SLAs and was utterly fed up with the rate of bulb loss, so decided to bring them up to...

Looking at the map, I see Loch Kishorn way to the NNW of you. I didn't know the old oil rig manufacturing base had left a legacy there.

Looks like that's the answer - you can leave all four chips in place for 1.4A per head, or disable one or two for a lower output per head. Much better than a simple resistor, as all a resistor does is dump valuable battery energy as heat, to no good useful purpose. Unless you position the...

No need for gratuitous insults like that.

Yes, the last option memory function would be ok if it remained reliable - drop him a line asking him if he does one that can be a simple on/off. Failing that, it would be worthwhile digging through some of the flashlight parts suppliers' sites from China because I've definitely seen simple...

Rubbish. They are inherently flawed in their design and fit only for bodgers and back-street artists.

It's quite linear - if you draw 1A for your lights you'll deplete your main battery by a third of what you would if you draw 3A. The lights don't suddenly get greedy, unless you mean that you've read that some LEDs at full power will draw a disproportionate amount of current compared to...

Scotchloks are fine in the right place - like a quick and dirty job just to get the car out of the door, but not for anything you want to be reliable, especially lights.

Nothing wrong with the cap, it was his knob-like wiring :)

I'm firmly against Scotland leaving the UK, even if it still chooses to have Lizzie as monarch - big deal that is. If I were still there, I'd be voting against it and I'll tell you why... The SNP are a shower of no-hopers, losers and typical slimy political tosspots who weren't good enough to...
