That's the number I've tried Roo, it has never been answered just rings

Mmm, maybe go all ninja and jump on em at 1 minute passed opening time on Monday and try to ambush them that way?       Swines!

I've bought stuff from them before and never had a problem. They're usually at the larger bike shows too.

Maybe just bad luck to have ordered from their site in the midst of a take over. I just tried phone number on their website Roo not sure if that’s the same one. I’ll give it a couple of days and try again.

Fingers crossed mate,

I think when I order I'll just stick it on a credit card for safety

Bleeding brakes!  This is getting annoying now, I've fitted a cbr600 master cylinder to my bike to fit my clip-ons and new braided line direct to the refurbed caliper but do you think I can get any pressure on the lever or movement of the piston in the caliper! 

I've bled the mc end and everything I can think of to get fluid to pump through  so I'm at my wits end and asking for help here guys

Tie the lever to the bars and walk away for 24 hours and/or threaten to throw the f*▪︎kn thing out the window.
Worked for me at Meads

Tried that Bryan😪

I've got two other lines of investigation,  first is that I've used a banjo bolt on the caliper but I believe it is short enough that it doesn't bottom out on the caliper. Second is that the mc needs new seals but Roo thought it was rebuilt so I'm kinda assuming that much.

I might have stuffed you there Dom, I’ve checked my other ones and I put the kit into the one on the bike that’s on now‍

My heads a shed it appears, I might have a spare kit and off out to the Shed of Dreams in a bit, I’ll have a rummage

My bad!

It's moving fluid Roo, whether it's under enough pressure though I'm not sure

I got there in the end, it took ages to get air out of the new master cylinder which was made harder because my clip ons have a 15° downward angle on them so air was sitting at the top slightly above the mc piston inlet.  Solved it by rolling the bike up the slope of my drive and putting it on the side stand. 

Lesson learned!

Just got to work and was going to suggest standard bars might help

I'm trying to fit my new Koso multifunction gauge and daytona speed sensor but have cone across a few queries.  First one, is there a permanent live in the headlight I can tap power from?

The three wires from the speed sensor don't correspond with the three from the gauge, they must be live signal and earth I presume but I've no way of knowing which is which on the koso side so any way of finding out would be great.

Then there is the rpm signal that I'm getting from the coil, the instructions are so confusing I don't understand what I'm meant to be doing here at all.
