CB500/550 / Re: Paint disaster / new colour
« Last post by Seabeowner on Today at 07:22:48 PM »
I'm in the middle of doing a 500 tank and panels at the moment. Mostly aerosol cans but using a very old paint sprayer for the base. It was going to be candy garnet brown, but now it's just candy brown.

I have the Spraymax lacquer, hope it protects the paint, but it needs extra precautions when using.  Hopefully results in a few weeks if the weather warms up.
Should have a set of the stripes decals left over as there was a c--k up. Said to Piki will donate any money for them to the forum.

That's dreadful Dave now't worse that Hit & Run drivers - they don't seem to bother even if they hit a pedestrian.
Just a lack of integrity and values that seems so prevalent today.

The apparent  lack of everyday Roads Polcing is the start of something they will live to regret.
As a probationer you learnt to engage with the local population through stopping motor vehicles and talking to young drivers well meeting local criminals in the process.
My first arrest for a garage burglary was when I stopped a local lad in Clowne near chesterfield for driving through a short pedestrian tunnel.

I noticed that the wheels on his old Austin 1100 looked almost brand new, I was aware of a theft of wheels from a private garage. Duly arrested, invertigated, home searched and charged with Burglary - as my old Sergeant used to say most Burglars don't walk to a commit crime.

Nope, they are the energizing circuit, one goes to earth the other gets power when the starter button is pushed on yours ( opposie on 500).
I suspect the small red wire to loom had a bad connection OR moving all the stuff about made a better(temporarily) connection in fuse box

I replaced the solenoid and all seems wellxat the moment. Apart from the two main terminals two small wires come off the side of it so I'm wondering if they had anything to do with it?

To be sure, I'll reread forsaid test which was published in a motormagazine edited by the very trustworthy ANWB (our AA), but I'm pretty sure it said: LED? OK, but in a reflector designed for LED. H4 halogen? OK, but in a reflector designed for H4. EU legislation it explained.
There's a lot in the market right now. I tend to have confident in products by Osram and Philips, but I can wait. In traffic I favor uniformity and I will fit nothing that could be at the expense of fellow motorists.
