I also have had the exactly same thing happen to me a few times in the past. I nearly always run with headlight on and sure enough that’s enough to blow the main fuse with the extra resistance at the poor fuse connections. Easily sorted with good clean and a little bending of the tabs at the fuse ends. Going to replace with blade fuse box at some stage. Not bothered about originality behind the panel in pursuit of reliability.

Welcome to the forum, much knowledge on here, even just words of wisdom if required?😜

Fair play if that’s deliberately made to look like trash! Certainly succeeded there. 😂 Would like to have seen a before and after. Well, a skill none the less. Liable to get more attention than a concours resto.

Two words spring to mind - what? & why?

Nice bike! Takes the “nursing” aspect out of the equation as is the case with the old stuff.

I'm coming up 67, the thing I struggle with most is coming to a stop at a roundabout, looking right and trying to stop without a wobble the last two meters. Thought it was the swing arm bearings, had, the suspension apart re greased bushes, no play. Front end is nice and tight as well.
I guess it's just me.....

😂😂 sorry to laugh but this did amuse me somewhat!

Very worthwhile mod to do. Have fitted spade fuse box on 750 need to do the 550 next. Countless main fuses blown due to crap springy contact thingys!

I think if we can ride safe and have the confidence and ability to ride we definately need to keep going.
The benefits of just getting out there, either with mates or just solo are worth reaping. I’m 68 years young and can’t imagine not getting out on the bike, and even have a couple of C90’s standing by in case I can no longer handle the bigger bikes. 😂👍

Just to Finnish up on this, spokes for rear wheel arrived today. First ordered on 11th Dec. I’m afraid I cannot recommend Central Wheels to anyone unless you can be sure that they are sending the correct spec parts to you first time.

Nice bike! A bit scary, reassuring to see it’s restricted to 140mph!😳

Hi Ian, thanks for posting this pic, never thought of it as been out in Westray since this run and not been on here much. Had a lovely morning out coffee/ice cream stop at your local and a bit of goddip and banter. All good!

Not that it happens very often in Orkney but if it’s too hot to put on the correct protection I don’t go on the bike. Just my own safety and comfort. I remember hiring a scooter and touring all over Ibiza just in t shirt and shorts with my then girl friend and who is now my wife way back in the early eighties. My advice would be don’t do it.
