It's a really good looking bike but I don't think I could shell out that sort of money and end up dropping it in some mud puddle

Have you got a source for that , as far as I know the Desert Sled has been dropped from the Scrambler range

Yes, they're definitely better on racebikes. We had a nice bank of four on a Suzuki XR69 that my boss rode a couple of times.

and....................... the headlight works again

Nice set of Carbs

I wish I was younger and fitter so I could give that a go . The only downside to it that I see is the price .

Looking good Bob

And lo I did spring forth to the work place this morning and a Ducati part did magically appear and there was much excitement and jollity

F*cking youngsters, if ever there was a shit fashion statement that's the one

It's hard wired Ian

Not quite, if it’s got a coil it doesn’t need a condom

So we see Lionel , your bike is so light it's invisible .............

You have no idea how annoying that is to me Fred beacause I don't think I've ever ridden that

Very nice Fred, what are the O/E tyres , Pirelli Scorpions ?

I put my meter across 85 and 86 and got no reading at all , from that I presumed the relay was dead ? I'll try what you said tomorrow

That's what I was hoping , I just wondered if there was any trickery going on inside them .

The headlight on my new (to me) Yamaha doesn't work (side light is fine) .There is no power at the bulb connector and then I traced to wiring to the fuse box and there is no power there. I suspect it might be the relay at fault as I have power going in and as far as I can tell none coming out. This is the (possible) culprit and Yamaha would like £83.42 for a new one . So could I just use something like this .................... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ehdis-12VDC-Multi-Purpose-Relay-Standard/dp/B01JBRHG7M/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1TYQMG92C88A1&keywords=motorcycle%2Bheadlight%2Brelay&qid=1696353837&sprefix=motorcycle%2Bheadlight%2Brelay%2Caps%2C119&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1

Me too , brings out the very worst in people

I did a similar thing to my 1300 Escort van . I put engine from a Mk2 Cortina 1600GT in it. Quick up to 85mph and then it ran out of puff

I can't see how the DBM's would want to interfere with any of us while they've got free reign on your ginger arse
