Are you aware the apparently LEDs dont last long, as the heat from the headlight cook them.

I'm also running LED headlights, would that makes any difference

[Brock]

Yep, they dont get hot.

Awesome
Thanks for the info mate, I'll make sure to note that these little LED lights should only be used if the headlights are LED as well

Home safe after an awesome day out
And here is my RR:

I was joined by Draco for the ride out and what a great ride it was
(Apart from some annoying detours near the beginning of the ride due to an accident )

We spotted Gnomad42 on the way there



Then heading through Cunninghams Gap it looked like one side of a mountain was on fire





And my ST (Shadowfax) reached 8000




Anyway we arrived and met up with PC and Navgirl then were joined by Gnomad42 a little while later.

PC did a great job on fixing the rear shocker on Draco's Blue Beast and we went over a few things on Gnomad42's ST1100.
We enjoyed some great sandwiches and coffee (thanks Navgirl) and a bit of cake (Thanks to Gnomad42).

After this and a bit more chatting we headed for home.
There was a bit of rain but it was a good ride






Thanks guys

Cheers

I'm guessing there will be a "How to re-oil a shock" tutorial coming to a Forum near us soon...

You are right on the money mate, I just have to put it all together

[Gnomad42]

Thanks to all involved for a great day out, and running an eye over my old 1100.
The ride home was much nicer with the adjusted handlebars.

I now have a (longer) list of things to do;
starting with polishing the boot marks of my panniers,
follow up with a new lower seat (I'm only 5'6"),
then the Laminar Lip for the screen,
before I even look at farkles like lights & radios..
Thanks,
Gnomad42

Yep, they dont get hot.

No problem using HID headlights at this stage either.
