I can see why that would happen, but why don't mine do that? Is it because it is earthing through the unlit side's bulbs, but the current drawn by the repeater light isn't enough to actually light them? A weird arrangement, but I'm sure you and Honda understand the logic better than I do. :D
Bryanj:
Your logic is correct for 21w filament bulbs, no idea why things go wrong with led bulbs i just know it happens, maybe because lef draw a lot less current.

I got the registration form and guide from the DVLA today, also heard from Ray Davis at the VJMC asking for a better picture of the engine number. It is a sod to take a good photo of because of the pipes, I only got the number to show up clear by rubbing a bit of copper grease into the digits.
I had her running again today, having a lot of trouble trying to get a good tickover, it only seems to respond to the offside carb screw, and sometimes ‘hangs’ at scary high revs. I’m tempted to get new throttle cables rather than persist with the old ones.
I also found out what a faff taking me tank off is, you have to drain the fuel first due to the pipe between the two halves of the tank. This is where I’d have been better off if I’d shelled out for an external bottle feed.

Dave - I feel your pain. Worth getting one of these...
