I'll try and get a picture but I'm the mean time try and imagine that the lights of the Halo are individual LEDs - every other one is orange and is the indicator part. When the indicator is active the white ones go out and the orange ones flash as indica...

Lights that LIGHT

so after watching some people around the roads with H4 type lights and nearly being cut up with a "dint see you" sort of hand signal.... Take these and be dazzled instead. City 5W vs DRL Halo before and after all on the same bike: http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/howiehowie93/FullSi...

Greetings, one of the Winter Projects is trying to update the Headlights on Horace from twin 60/55W lamps to two LED type - 'cos loads more light,less power consumption and very see-able Halo lamps added.

I have the same trouble with Horace when I replaced the Points with a Piranha. Since my new Dyna-S uses the same Mechanical Advance thing there is still the same issue. I took a round file to the holes to make them longer then I just set up to have the advance correct and left the idle setting to be...

I think K&Ns these days have little restriction and more the better if you were to fir the bigger size ones.

As said above - Filters are there for a reason and engine damage can be expensive to fix.

I'll be buying some switches from Motogadget. Can I suggest you have a look around before buying the motogadget handlebar switches. They are very fiddly to wire up - 3mm cross point screws inside. The Wires have to go inside the handlebars, unless you cut away the sidewalls to accommodate them. Plu...

Hi
Was looking at siting mine away from the traditional place and that looks different. Did you notice any difference in temperature of the oil in the two positions ?
