    I do have the same problem.

    I know what you mean. I had a Givi demi open face helmet and that felt so different.

    I am really hankering after one of these AGV RP60 - comes with a peak and some snazzy goggles. Any views - apart from not wearing an open face lid?

    Did Stevie Nicks really say "no blow, no show"? I love a little 2 tone, Stax and most reggae. Good old Dolly Parton and some other country stuff is in the mix. Shaggy to opera. Buddy Holly. a mix of 50's, 60's and '70's, not forgetting a bit of glam rock. Simon and Garfunkel. UB40. Bon Jovi. Dire Straits. The specials. Plus about another 1000 singers/bands where I like one of their songs. Really dislike Techno, techno techno techno (say it to the beat) and drum & bass.

    :lol: If that wasn't close to the truth it would be funny. Don't the advisories show online? The SV got 3; Rear tyre close to limit - I knew that (changed for the last MOT). Rear brake pads close to limit - I knew that too Chain slightly lose - I also knew that. With the weather we are having at the moment the tyre and brake pads might last another 2 years .

    Natwest is my main bank account.
  12. Rather than wD40, Try GT85 LINKY It smells of polish not oily and protects better. In my humble............ Smells great burning off an engine.
  13. I am adverse to washing or cleaning bikes however; Gunk and Autosol are great and I use both. For general cleaning the best, by far, I have used is SDOC100 LINKY It is the dogs!!

    I just got the SV MOT'ed. All you get now is a white A4 piece of paper with some writing on. I would suggest that before anyone buys a bike with this style of MOT, they check the validity of it online.

  18. Hi Sacha. Sorry for the confusion. "....entire headlight assembly ("bucket" and all) for a Suzuki and it's 6 7/8 or 7" and it's similar to the DT setup....." - yep. I think the MX and XT500 ('77 to '81) headlights are 5 1/2 inches. I probably have one in my shed somewhere with lots of other DT parts. I don't know about the various RD 6 volt headlight sizes except I think some of them were 8". I think that I will set up as per my drawing with an MX complete pattern part just to get it roadworthy.

    All good songs mentioned as far as I am concerned Mike. You did forget "Pink Flamingo" and "Paint it black" along with about 1000 other songs though!!
  20. I wanted to resurrect this thread as I need to forward plan buying a headlight for the TS and am after some advice/info on any Yami stuff that may fit. What I need is a 7 inch UK spec or at least MOT'able, 6 volts 35/35(ish) headlight with a pilot light. I am keeping away from anything with a H4 bulb due to the difference in wattage and the possibility of burning out the switchgear or wiring. The only TS (or equivalent) ones I can find are either knackered or US spec sealed beams. My latest thoughts, should all fail, is to get a DT/XT complete repro unit like this LINKY. I know these are a little smaller but I can always pack out the difference with either some plastic or metal rod spacers. I drew a quick mockup in CAD earlier - without the spacers shown - like this: Has anyone any opinions on this please?

    Great video Pat. Nice to see some roads in Eire.

    I like a full English as much as the next bloke but that is a sharing platter for the whole Walton family (...night John Boy). That is a BIG berger Sacha! Closest I came is here:
