The previous owner of my CBR manged to clout the left rear indicator at some point and this morning I took it off, expecting to tweak/bend something to fit it. The bolt is at the wrong angle but its the spacer rubber part which is knackered and I'm having no success getting it back to shape, meaning a wonky indicator.

I've been on the CBR forums and seen various indicators but I was wondering what experience you guys have had with the bulb and led versions. Some examples here:

http://www.motorbike-search-engine-shop.co.../Indicators.htm

I went to into Avonvale and the bike guy thought I should stay OE, even though they sold arrow amber indicators and the necessary Motrax spacer. He thought a flash it capacitor unit may be required, even though not LED, because the bulb in the Motrax indicators are halogen?

I've also found a couple of hairline scratches on my screen which has made me ponder about a dark tint Fabbri double bubble screen



Room for my S2000 (just about!)

Look here, I rode it into work and into Solihull last week. I've clocked up 50 miles in two weeks now. Compared to my 10 miles in five months, that's a huge mileage!

Besides which, look how many things with wheels I have - I need to spread the love around

Philip, it's my newly built up 1960s fixed gear Claud Butler:

I've submitted photos and details of the build to the Fixed Gear Gallery so it should be on there later this week

Hi,

Anyone use an Arai RX7 ???

Thinking of getting one for my 4 mile commute .... as I obviously need one and I have just realised my current Quantum F is well over 5 years old.

Anyone any views ?

Fraid not - I have an Astro R which I'm actually looking forward to it getting old enough to ditch because it's so bloody noisy
