Warning lights(I refuse to call these idiot lights)
« on: April 03, 2013, 08:23:47 PM »
Hi Guys,
Picked this up at a local bike bootfair but did not realise I think is for a 500/4 am I right?Yes I know I can change the jewel layout and  fit a new decal but before I do this is it of any use to all members?Prepared to sell or willing to swap for a 750 one.Over to you guys.The reason for not calling them idiot lights is because over the years I have watched people carry on riding with disastrous results.In 1976 at midnight my oil light came on.As a mechanic I stopped dead took out the filler cap and with the aid of a fag lighter revved the crap and saw oil returning and thinking what the shit guaranteed rode her home.Turned out to be a dodgy oil pressure switch.So no they are not idiot lights Honda put them there for a reason.
Cheers
Bitsa

not necessarily 500, the order of the lights changed at a time point and only the later ones are available now
