Default 12volt / usb port .....update

Well put a plug end on my optimate battery charger for my previously posted 12v / usb combo socket port.

So not only does it power and charge stuff, it's now used to charge the
bikes battery ..... a true multifunction electrical port on the bike all nice
and neat looking too and verrrry convenient...... works great just had to up
the amp of the fuse in the plug tip.

Easy way to charge my nice new MotoBatt....

^^ Cool, man. I'm slacking. All I did today was rode all over the place.

I really need to do that 12V socket deal. Mine is still sitting on my workbench.

well ;; last 3 days,
saturday, bud does mobile tyre fitting, called and fitted 2 new tyres, and i bathed the bike
sunday ;; slow crawl to the club to meet up with the lads,for our sunday ride out...
set off and scrubbed up 260 miles, bike straight to bed, any my *** straight to the bath to sooth it in the kindest of smelly soaps,and shizzle, i waz wrecked.
monday(today) ;; bathed the bike and checked the wheel torques.
had to get a few pics too,then i bath's "spud" ,, thats what i call the little yamaha screamer.
weather is beautiful here at the minute, hard to imagine the roads were blocked with snow 2 weeks ago.


ps, tyres i got were pirelli angels, handling and road feel is fantastic compared to the previous qualifiers. . . and they get a good write up.
still its early days, and everyone has different choice in tyres, but so far , i recomend these... they're a WoW! on an "F"

Thumbs up

Good looking pics. I like the wind screen and your levers, Where did you get those levers at? I do like your paint scheme.

I just ordered a K&N filter, Bazzaz Z-bomb, and braided brake lines! They should be here in 6-10 days!
