I bought another one!

[rf9rider]

I presume its got less reserve...

I did this replacement not too long ago.  You have significantly less reserve.   On mine, I have maybe 12 miles on reserve at 35mpg.  And that is running on fumes downhill with a tailwind.  At some point I am going to extend the main pipe to increase the reserve.

Not a lot on reserve then, i`ve never let the fuel  get that low, so thats good to know.

Little more done tonight.
New waterproof plug arrived, so made up the wiring for the voltmeter.
Instructions said to use there "special tool" which you have to buy, but i got by with some long nose pliers and my soldering iron  :)

Ends crimped and soldered...........






And the finished job.



Tested and working on the bike.
Finish this off tomorrow  :)

Not a lot to do now, a few little odds and ends, mainly cosmetic.

Hoping to take it for MOT next week, then get the panels off to the painters, so should be all done in a couple of weeks  :)

Got all the wiring sorted, fitted an inline fuse, all soldered, heat shrinked and taped up for good measure

[rf9rider]

All done

[rf9rider]

All tested and working, here`s how it looks with the voltmeter in place of the clock

[rybes]

is there any reason you decided to fit a voltmeter or did you just fancy a change from a clock ?

The clock is permanently live, probably doesn`t use a lot of power, but might help keep the battery up if i leave it standing for a while, plus i think the voltmeter looks better as it matches the other clocks, and might give a bit of advance warning of a low battery so as to not damage the sprag clutch  :)

Busy day, first off, fitted the new Venhill clutch line, clutch bled, all fine and working

[rf9rider]

Next job was to fit a new hugger i ordered a while ago.
Turned out i ordered the wrong one, it fouls on the bracket on the swing arm where the rear brake torque arm bolts, so out  with the dremmel  :lol:

[rf9rider]

Next thing was theres no top mount hole for the hugger on the right side, so marked out where i wanted the hole, drilled a 10mm hole for a rivnut.

Installing the rivnut

[rf9rider]

Job done, handy tool, cheapy off Ebay  :lol:

[rf9rider]

Hugger fitted, took a couple of hours but worth it :)
