Re: Scooter Loan Question

Forgot to say, buy everything on your credit card and dont bother with cash if you can. Make sure you pay off the full ammount each month to avoid interest.

Re: Scooter Loan Question

Pay off the loan rather than having savings unless the loan is 0%. If you really want to improve your credit rating then just get a credit card and pay off the full amount each month, that way it wont cost you anything.

Re: LED rear strips

The top set is an extra brake light as the large givi box reduced the visibility of the original lamp, it only comes on when the brake is applied.

Re: LED rear strips

Wired to the brake bulb, interesting effect that i didnt expect is that they turn off when i pull the bake but as i have an extra brake bar it works quite well.. If i was to do it again i would use one 90cm strip rather than 2x 30cm as it would look much neater and give out more light but would need...

Did mine myself and the result works but is weeeeell below this standard, worth it for the leg room tho. Going to Thailand in sept so im tempted to look for this shop and fill my hand luggage up with goodies! Think if you have a new bike its worth the cash but mines 2 years old so its not really mon...

Re: finding led brake bulb

Only reason in want to swap it is a have a 30cm led strip to go on the grab rail for visibility. Figured replacing incandescent with led should offset the power usage of the led strip? I know nothing about electrics tho!

Re: Urgent help needed!

Ive got one shock off and it seems fine so far, where it attaches to the swing arm there is a rubber bushing or maybe a bearing thats solid? The shock flaps around a lot at the top now i took the bottom off but i would imagine thats normal. Wish i knew more about scooters but im actually quite enjoy...
