They are rubbish....@1olbull has plenty of info/research on this problem - on low beam stopping distance exceeds illumination at around 60 km/h on my roadster. Its fine on high beam but you don't make friends riding around my part of the world with highs on

I adjust mine to high beam, 1 degree down, 1 degree right (left for you) at 20 feet (6 metres).

Installed the newer clutch pressure plate, with ball bearing, lifter piece and lifter rod. Installed new detent spring and the other spring that's in there, while I had it open. Removing a "not broken" detent spring, is harder than installing a new one! Older style thrust bearing had started coming apart, symptoms were constantly having to take up slop in the clutch cable. Old lifter piece, and lifter rod, were badly worn. 05 with 65,000 miles. Already had Barnett clutch from previous repair.

This morning I lifted the tank, removed left headlight, removed ignition cover,unplugged big grey connector,pulled ignition end and wiring out to the front of the bike.Stripped all protective wrapping from wires and found three which look like they have been trapped and showing bare wire.Now could this be the dreaded click I have been chasing forever.Or will it just be another false attempt of which will only end in disappointment when the dreaded click returns in a few days.Got to do temp repair in morning as run out of time today work.MOT (UK annual inspection)at 11.00 in morning also let's hope tomorrow is a good day

According to the BBC in my area at around 11.00 should be windy but dry but not holding me breath over it.

New set of rear brake pads along with a new set of Bridgestone Battle Criuse h50 tires. Just ready fir testing to see if they are worthy of the smokey mountains. Will see after I work out the needed suspension adjustments.
