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 :lol:

Very nice looking bike Ben, you have done a cracking job mate!
When are you getting to Pembrey?
I am going to be getting there on Sunday morning, as a friend wants to come along and i'm not to keen on kipping in a sleeping bag when my bed is an hour away :) .
