£200 all in. They did do one for me previously but it was grey so sent it back to get this done properly in black. They have been a good company to deal with to be fair.
Taxed it. £96 for twelve months?? It’s a motorbike for Christ’s sake. Ah well, worth it if I can get out on it for 30 mins today. HNY.
Valves, compression checks, general service last weekend. MOT today... could cut glass with my nipples by the time I got home! BRRRRR
Found time today to get some jobs started , fresh brake fluid ,,,,new air filters in ,,,,, brake pads out for a good check , New ones ordered from Sportsbikeshop ,,,, calipers cleaned, ,,,, forks out ready for a service.
After watching a Bennett’s video on YouTube about counterfeit parts. I was inspired to buy a few items from Evo-Tech Lever guards Axle bobbins Radiator guards Quality kit but the rad guards were a much bigger job than previous rad guard. TBF the previous rad guard was a cheapy off eBay and was just wired on.
Fresh oil in the forks, the old didn't look as bad as I expected. New brake pads in, I got 14000 miles out of the last set,,,,,,Honda pads.replaced with EBC
Wanting to fit a USB charger to the bike as I use my phone for nav and it goes flat pretty sharpish. Current solution is a small powerbank in a pocket but I end up with a cable flapping about. Two outlet would be useful, and a switch to avoid battery draining issues... Can I trust something like this off fleabay? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154789936580?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&fromMakeTrack=true
I fitted a charger to my Quadlock mount a few weeks back. Simple and works well so far but more pricey than your example. Around £40 i think. It actually ended up a little different to the picture. I have the lead coming out to the right to provide better access to the ignition.
For peace of mind I would wire that into a switched live from the ignition. Have you got the alarm socket under the riders seat you could use? Quadlock stuff is excellent as mentioned, ultimate addons is also a safe bet too.
I looked at Quadlock but my gripe with them is that it's not compatible with the case I use for my phone (LifeProof) - QL themselves don't do a fully waterproof case, and their stick-on mount isn't compatible with LSE plastics (Polyprop) that the LifeProof case is made out of. Frustrating. Might be stretching my sparky skills - do you know of a step-by-step I can take a look at? *Editing to say that presumably you piggyback off the low beam circuit or something? I've not previously noticed a spare socket under the seat but I'll be honest I've not looked... could have a poke about this eve. It's an '08 if that matters?
https://www.1000rr.co.uk/threads/2015-cbr1000rr-quad-lock-stem-mount-fitting.40568/#post-540653 Look at post #4 on this thread. It's not beyond you, very simple. You will need to do a bit of crimping with some pliers and route it under the tank etc.
Nice, cheers - I'll have poke this evening and see if I've that plug, could be a good way of doing it.
That is exactly what I have got and it’s perfect but don’t worry about battery drain and forgetting it’s left on You need a plug to wire it to and then it will plug in under the seat and work off the ignition There’s a thread on here all about it and it works perfect
Hope this helps Just uncovered the bike in the cold But this is my socket mounted to the mirror bolt and then my phone mount which has a socket on as well I didn’t like the big case for a quad lock
