That's the easy option but I've never been very happy with the lock on the current box, the handle 'pulls' up a bit even when locked and whilst I doubt it would be pos ...

One of the hinges on my OEM top box has broken away from the lid - cracked around the mounting so unrepairable. I have a spare older top box that’s in one piece but rather beat up but in one piece s ...

The pads will normally "touch" the disk but they should not cause "drag" on the disk.

I agree the pads should be very close to the pad but not touching to the point that they're ...

I did think the new pads & disc were a bit snug but there's no scope to push them further back into the caliper, brake fluid is m ...

Just popped out to the garage, wire wooled the inside of the ABS ring as there was mild corrosion in places.

Removed the new disc from the freezer and the ABS ring literally dropped into place and ...

Just don't put the ABS ring on backwards on the EBC rotor. (joke)

I'm envious that you got the rear rotor off so easily. I've only had such luck a few times.

no need to worry about ant-seize or ...

Removing the ABS ring was relatively easy but did make a lot of noise! I don't think the trim removal tool I used is gonna be quite so useful in the future but it was ideal for this (along with a big ...

As you are in UK, try Halfords (Yes I know some people think they are more of a toy shop) but ask to see their range of professional tools.

Halfrauds have their place Smile, in fact I do have 2 of the ...

Great advice as always so much appreciated Smile

My bike just failed it's MOT with a warped rear disc which was news to me!

I can get a new EBC disc without the ABS ring so can anyone tell me if the ABS ring is an easy home removal job or is it o ...

Thanks for the heads up grunter, I had a similar though slightly less powerful LED bar on my previous LT for 15 years with no issues but I’ll just have to wait and see at MOT time.

Well I've added 5 of the Eagle eye LEDs and hopefully this is fixed for good this time!

I'd tap into one of green/black wires coming from the #1 Fuse - the top fuse. That's where the power for heated grips comes from.

I eventually got round to wiring in the heated grips and thought sp ...

Thanks for the reply, I guess my point is it’s such a pain to get into the headlight for one I might as well add a couple - will update when I do it.

It's a T connector with a green/black wire and brown wire. It's usually near the rear area under the left side of the tank. It looks like this.
