there's a few who have defected but stayed on the forum Jimmy & Bippo for Triumph's, but YOC is better than TOC

Haha, thanks for the complements . Just love working on this and learning all this new stuff. I don't think I would have had this much fun if I were to buy the bike brand new. I've been busy messing around with it the past few days so it's going to be a big update. Neutral LED Mod Also known as a blue wire mod for easier starting (if the wire is unplugged). I left it plug'd in because the 2003+ WRs have a safety mechanism which means that it will only start if the bike is in neutral (or if the clutch is disengaged). The sky blue wire gets grounded when in neutral so I simply patched a (black) wire into the connector. I needed to make a bracket to hold the LED and drill two holes, one to hold the LED and the other to mount the bracket to the old headlight mounting points. Since the wire coming from the neutral switch connector is grounded, the LED needs a power source to complete the circuit, which I tap'd from the daylight. Looks pretty sweet and going to make finding neutral a whole lot easier . Second attempt at lowering exhaust noise Fitting the baffle didn't work so it was time to repack it as suggested. Managed to get that broken bolt off without any damage. The old packing seemed to look pretty beat up. Used a wire brush on the tube with the holes to clean up the crap and wrap'd it in new packing. Getting it to fit back in to the exhaust was a PITA (even when held tight with some masking tape), ended up cutting some of it off but finally managed to squeeze it in and seal it tight with some silicone. However, this was a waste of time because the exhaust is still loud, I'd have been lucky to lose a DB lol. Engine oil and filter change Nothing too complicated, if you know the right place to pour the oil in . I read the manual and just assumed it was where the dipstick is. I think I filled a litre before I stopped and wondered why the bottom filler (on the engine) was still empty. I just assumed the oil would simply run down from the frame into that tank. Wrong, had to empty the frame oil and start again lol. Lesson learned, pour some into the bottom filler, start engine and leave it running for a couple of minutes, then let it cool down for a few minutes before checking with dipstick. This was after midnight and had to do it outside in the freezing cold lol. Banjo bolt for the front brake Nothing too fancy, the M10x1.25 (single) bolt fit nicely. Definitely need to bleed this now because there is some amount of slack, I think some air got in. I'm going to pull the two wires from the banjo straight to the rear brake light connection just to keep things simple. UFO rear fender Was excited to see this turn up in the post. Looks so sleek compared to the stock fender. I would have got this all fitted and wired up but one of the bolts holding on to the coolant reservoir broke off. Spent some time drilling it out and I think the thread got damaged. Need to use a slightly bigger bolt now and use a nut at the end. So this is the current state of the bike until tomorrow .
