    Didn’t you have a similar problem with yours Dougyt? Seem to remember the irony as they tried to find a bigger tool to remove the tool that caused the problem and sadly failed 😀

    Priced respoking today. OUCH!

    To strip the wheels, blast and spray the hub and replace all spokes with Stainless – £142 Each wheel. It is £16 less each wheel if you use galvanised spokes.

    I am going to check the condition of the wheels on my New Mexico import. Chrome looks fine and fingers crossed the spokes just need tidying up.

    Indicators on my bike did flash at a different rate due to a blown idiot bulb. And I think they should have 25 watt indicator bulbs as the standard 21 watts used by most cars isn’t enough draw to make the bi-metallic strip heat up in the flasher unit

    Never seen 25 W bulbs that will fit.
    In the end the flasher relais should be that modern, that it can cope with any kind of indicator light/bulb/LED. Coming from 25W/21W over to 10W (which is a laugh) down to LED indicators with approx 2 W.
    Here are modern flasher relais in the market that go from 1 W to 200 W. Not the cheapest ones but never any huzzle with that again 🙂

    Cheers, Michael

    The bulbs are correctly 21W in the right indicators so a bit more investigation is required there.

    I have managed to refurb one of my CSR front wheels tonight and its come up Quite nice and is certainly good enough for the MOT. Changed over the tyre and fitted the discs. Will fit the wheel in the morning.

    I feel so close now but doubt I will be ready to test tommorrow

    Done some more today (as well as being a twin deciple lol). Fitted the refurbed front wheel and brakes, speedo etc are all fine and in line with the MOT. Indicators now working fine. The problem was a 15 Watt bulb (previous post incorrect). Changed it to a 21 Watt and all is well.

    Hi KK,

    having the CSR wheel with dual disc brakes looks very good !

    Will you use a CSR rear wheel ?

    Looking forward to our meeting to see and feel the steering bar and the fairing 🙂

    Cheers, Michael

    Yes Michael I will be using matching CSR wheels. Sitting on the bike feels very comfy and relaxed. I just hope she rides as good as she feels. Time will tell.

    I am hoping to get her tested by next weekend.
