forget the switch...I'm enjoying the interesting brake actuating rod ....... never seen one THAT shape before that hadn't been in an accident.

I'm in the process of fitting some rearset pegs to my project, but I seem to have managed to do it without the use of a saw, flapwheel or angle grinder. I was also very keen on being able to go back to a stock footrest setup without needing a welder.

 I actually spat my tea at that! ;D ;D Priceless isnt it, that and the angle of the arm on the back drum to accommodate it. Its unfathomable that somebody cut off something that worked and thought that this was a cool thing to replace it with.

An odd thing 'taste' ;D

Oh, yes. Not really a’fan’ as such, but he was an interesting character. Music without rhythm, very odd indeed.
