nothing to do with spokes,as I have said before; its the rim profile that keeps the air in. after all GS BMW's have spokes and tubeless tyres!

Should have bought two then I always have this avatar for Easter, I am a left footer after all

if you can't do that, the other way is to undo the seat opins on the other side, very fiddly!

hey John, I didn't see the YOC patch in the pikkies?

if your wheels normally have a tube in them, get a tube fitted in your tubeless tyre! I have one in mine as the wheels are designed to take only tubes. (rim profile is different)

you need to see through the image to get the message!

nice pikkies Blackie, keep burning them fossil fuels got the Thundersprint on the 8th May (northwich) and I'm working the 7th so can't make Blackpool!

there will be a lot more stresses on the arm because the steel and tube sizing would be matched to the original length, I would get a radian swingarm (if you can find one) having said that I've seen 3" stretches done but you need to know what you are doing!

you liiiight, the starrrssss, up above meeeeeeeeeee! WTF!!

As far as I can see, its the right hand wire which goes to no-where, and not sure where the tail end goes! BTW do you have a starter motor fitted?

who's Frank Dibna? I know Frank N Stein and I know Frank Sidebottom

petrol (gas) is leaking past the float valves. just wear and tear. you can get replacments from get the whole kit and clean the carbs down one at a time!

from what I can gather, the headlamp relay is for when you initally start the bike up (headlamp = running lights in the US) you obviously don't want the headlamp on when the starter is drawing all the amps it can! the relay is activiated by a feed from the rectifier which power only gets there through the alternator. (The alternator only works when the engine is running!) I think the engine cut out switch would also cuts the relay power (thus the headlamp goes out too) I don't have a US spec bike so can't take a picture It make have been cut or not used in your instance!

share your findings, that way, we can answer your question

aye, 25mm glass fuses. I had to buy a couple of sets off ebay as mine were showing symtoms of fatigue (they blew) this is in a NOS fuse box 5 years old amd soaked in ACF 50!

this looks awsome. Catch Drewpy on his xs400 doing 170mph at the TT ...

that should have been a wheelie n front of the palace!!

got good weather too

horrible them, there is one round my way

nah, Its why did the Avon lady smile, because Max Factor

just leave them, unless you've cut the connector, then I would isolate the wires

John, Its not you per se, its that we get a lot of newbies on here who, 1st post, demand we tell them how to fix their bike, get the info and then leave. not good for a healthy forum I think you'll agree. We ARE a friendly bunch and we have a natter and banter just like being down the pub, only online. To answer your question, ebay is the best place an there are loads of 2 in 1 Motad systrems that come on, or widen your search to ebay.de the german site. CNSML.com may have a set but you'll pay and you could always contact Motad themselves as they may have some NOS!

normally they look like this not like this :lol:
