Thank you Rambozo, now I can see what is missing, on the bridge, the front tongue is in tact but the 2 side peices are missing. in the instrument surround looks like the top of the hole is broken out DSC02333.JPG Pity I can't get a closer look at the hole in the panel surround, I have a bar of abs a...

The plastic moulding between the dash board and the radio shelter. Ign switch bridge I believe it's called Can ayone tell me what holds the front of this moulding to the speaker surround, I have the tab intact on the bridge but there is a peice of plastic broken on the bottom centre of the speaker s...

When I fitted a trunk rack to my Aspencade, I didn't realise the added bonus of a baguette holder. :lol: :lol: It's an 1800 rack on a 1500 as 1500 racks don't seem to exist here, contrarary to belief an 1800 rack fits a 1500 DSC02307.JPG Living here in France, some of the baguettes are nearly 1 mete...

thought about heat, but the gizmo is full of diodes, resistors all crammed in, I think the glued bits are the best idea, used abs glue, did it before bedtime, next day it was solid. Make the square hole first, and use the "ears" as a drilling guide before you cut them off,puts the screw holes in per...

Since starting this post I have made a slight modification, I cut the screw hole ears off the sides of the display and glued 4 pieces of plastic around the display at an angle so that the display is raised up at the back. see photos. DSC02325.JPG DSC02326.JPG fit the diplay in place and drill throug...

I read somewhere that on the SE model, there is a roll out seat raincover rolled up in a pouch at the back of the seat, so I thought, (only having the Aspencade), "I Want One". It's amazing what you can do with a pair of unwanted thin waterproof overtrouses, a bit of elastic, 2 bra hooks a sewing ma...

I just bought 50 for that price on ebay, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silicon-Rectifier-1A-Diode-1N4001-1N4002-1N4003-1N4004-1N4005-1N4006-1N4007-DO41/261860603349?hash=item3cf81bb5d5:m:mwlsAtpgm7OJnMm-Gg5YTxw this wis about $2 for 10 Try a local TV repair shop they'll have plenty, very common in dome...

Here it is Wezx

My one cost less than $20, see my post, "make your own gear indicator"

Don't wish, get on with it, here's the Ebay link for the gear indicator https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Speedometer-Motorcycle-Display-Sensor-LED-Digital-Gear-Indicator-1pc/202788492368?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648 If you're not sure with electronics i'm sure you m...

I know this topic has had a lot of writing in the past, but I've not come across step by step instructions of how to do it and without breaking the bank. So here it is, it was cheap, not too difficult but took a long time. First you will need a sensible size digital led display, this i bought on Eba...

Can I ask, why did it need welding, was it rusted or cracked or broken?

Thanks

Thanks wing admin, as always very helpful.
Look out for my article on this topic.

Mine were in a right old state, had to resort to a multitool with sandpaper as no amount of hand polishing would get rid of the black marks plus i can't scrub hard due to arm tendon problems DSC02280.JPG DSC02281.JPG Having done the best I could I then used Alloy wheel spray paint, they are much shi...

Question for wing admin, when you placed ECU protection diodes for the gear indicator, did you do something like this, I bought a cheap 7 seg indicator unit on ebay made for this purpose, each wire from it that's not grounded reads 12.5 volts that will reverse bias the diodes, when a gear is selecte...

Hi Jim Pleased you used my idea, but don't trust it on a steep hill, it really is just a "while I shut the garage door device". I'm working on a MKII version. If you have your bike in bits, also consider my "starter motor warning light", will stay on if your solenoid jams shut as mine did, cost me 1...

Read my posts on mp3 player, radio mod, works flawlessly cost less than 50 bucks, and incorporates satnav sound

That answers a lot of questions. never known an engine where you could ditch the choke so quicklly after startup. Pipe previously mentioned, wondered why it dissapeared upwards at an odd angle to what I thought it should have. For a 25year old bike ,it's got such a lot of advanced features, how did ...

No foot warmers on my model, no dashboard knob or foot vents

Thinking about it, when I had all the bodywork off I noticed an orange heatproof rubber tube on a gizmo attached to the L/H exhaust manifold that looked like it was used to send hot air somewhere, then another pipe a on the end of that, that dissapeared up onto a maze of pipes, didn't see where it w...

I read somewhere but not on this forum about if you fit a manual switch on the cooling fan(s), it forces more warm air out of the heater vents onto you legs to keep you a bit warmer in cold weather. Has anyone tried this yet? I do not have any problems with overheating, this is just a leg warmer. I ...

Come and live in the north of France, you'll know all about rain, I'm sure the next french generation will be born with webbed feet.
So why do you live in such a wet place? I hear you ask, answer, it's that other wet stuff we have here aswell called wine and champagne!!!!!

I wasn't aware the radio was that waterproof, having dismantled it for the aux input mod, didn't look like it was able to withstand torrential downpour, I bow to your superior knowledge. The town I go to in England, you would come back to your bike and find all the radio knobs missing. But the point...

So your riding and down comes the rain, so as not to get the radio soaked you put the radio cover on, further along the road, music is too loud or not loud enough, do you stop, remove the cover and adjust the volume, or turn it off (not an option), if only there was a volume knob on the outside of t...
