Just found this earth cable un-attatched, it seems to be part of the fuel pump wiring but it has always started fine, just wondering if anyone knows what it is or where its supposed to be attatched?

Been a bit busy buying bits and pieces and organizing my mess of a toolbox so i actually know what goes where.

So ive been going through the bike replace bolts with nice new shiney ones, i chopped and bypassed the side stand switch and got my wet wheels through in the post today!


And on a slightly more mundane note, i fitted my towbar to my car so now i will actually be able to tow the trailer up

Did you get those wets from the guy you got the bike from?

[ChowderV4]

nope couldnt afford them, got these off ebay for £120 , tyres have tonnes of life left, as do the discs and sprocket. :)

So test is drawing near and i was still waiting for my exhaust system to be fixed, turns out its pretty bad so have purchased a full stainless micron system instead

will be arriving mid week as well as a new k&n air filter and jets.
