Hi all, I am rebuilding a farmyard-find 1982 Xt125 from the frame up and have decided that it is probably worth converting it to 12v as I will be fitting it with all LED lighting (all original lights/clocks are missing) My question is: Which Regulator/Rectifier should I use? should I just go for a 4 wire generic one? I have gone through what remains of the loom and surprisingly, apart from the switchgear and ignition switch areas it is mostly complete and looks in reasonable condition anybody done similar?

Ok so I reshod my steed yesterday with some Dunlops (207RR's). My mate rang me at work in the afternoon he'd heard there was a good band playing at a pub we sometimes go to so we made arrangements and of we went for the evening. Band was good had some diet cokes, time to leave. Get into the carpark 5 bikes in a row all with flat back tyres. Some git slashed them. I was NOT impressed and neither was my bloke as he had to bring his tranny van over to pick us up! So today I put on another new back tyre...

Can anyone verify this ? I bumped into an old pal and he said he's just finished convalesing after suffering 2 detached retinas. He said he woke up one morning, sneazed violently twice and went blind. After calling the doctor and being rushed to hospital he was told he had torn the retinas off the backs of his eyes - I instantly felt queasy ! He then tells me they operated right away, they sucked out the Vitreous Humor which is the jelly inside the main part of the eyes, pulled the eye balls out and reattached the retinas and then filled each eye ball with a gas after putting them back in the sockets. The gas is naturally absorbed by the body and the s…

For the past 2 weeks, I haven't been riding due to a nagging headlight prob with the XJ......cleaned & replaced just about anything that remotely had to do with the headlight, still with NO positive results :? I decided to pull the dimmer switch apart one more time to check voltages, put it back together & was going to have a 30yr. Bike Mechanic friend of mine, have a go with it.......fired it up to take it over to his house---low & behold, the headlight now works!! :roll: ......has ever since :? .....probably just a bad ground @ the handlebar with that dimmer switch :wink: So now that I'm back on 2-wheels again, it's amazing how my outlook on day to day li…
