    If mot fails because you can retract headlight- just pull the plug to the module and wind it up manually. Light circuit should still work.

    Baz there is a slight adjustment to headlight- it’s a single bolt behind in a slotted groove. Allows up and down 3/4 in travel. Also some movement in headlights cover to try get it all flush. You can get a bit out of the 4 bolts on rectangular mount on top too. Watch you fingers dad- broke one horribly on the mech testing modules.

    • @SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport
      @SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes I found the adjusters but I think my dad was thinking you could adjust it so it didn't flip up and down but it doesn't work like that does it..
      Just the aim and adjustment to make the pop up flush with the fairing?

    Hey baz- pressure switch way better than clunky mechanical switch. Running them both ends. Electronic flashers are cool (USA made) 10 flash options. Exports version has rear 18inch rear. 17 JDM . Standard chain 530 114 links and 14/45. I’m running 43T rear for longer legs on a 18inch wheel. Should have went 41Tooth. Tough gearbox but would love a 6th gear. Should run about 4000rpm 100kmh. Depends on main drive gearing. Did u up jet main jet carbs for pipe - and bugger pilot for pods? Cheers Shane - ps remember little tube over clutch slave pin.

      As soon as it's road worthy I'm definitely going to consider a few modifications to bring the technology up to date Shane but for now I'm going to be the tightest human in the world so as to keep the spending as low as I can.
      I won't forget the tube. 😉
      Thanks again boss.
