get some geese, they make great guard birds(?), eat the grass and give nice eggs for your omelette as well. Win win win

It looks good Hooli, I like it. I bet it gets a few double takes, as it's not instantly obviously a 1400.

D.D.

I'd swear I'd answered this...

But

Yeah it does, which amuses me as it's got GSX1400 on the tank and seat. I even got asked Sunday when parked next to my mate's black one and they've got almost all the same mods.

I have Epilepsy and I forget things....(waits for sympathetic noises..)
Anyway, do people look twice at it Hools ??

D.D.

[Dwain Dibley]

Have the visitors been...??   

Nah, side effects of the medication I'm afraid boys, could be worse....seizures and no driving/riding. I have a medical license, pretty colours and everything, but with all the "C" categories removed.

MOT on the Bloo Thing (it seems to be gaining that name) today, a clean pass obviously cause who'd expect anything else after everything I'd done to it?




That's that sorted for 13 months as it wasn't due till May but I'd rather do it when I have time.

Always nice to get a clean sheet, sort of confirms that all you do is good. I stopped going to one tester for a while who was a bit of a mate cos he knew me and the bike, went elsewhere to someone who was known to be lets say 101% to the book but the result was the same for a couple of years getting clean sheets so gave the mate the business back, I think he understood my logic 

Just a shame it is a piece of plain A4 paper now and not a nice certificate like it was years ago, seemed to mean a bit more then   

[Hooli]

Tbh that place know me and my bikes and aren't very strict but I'm happy with that as I trust my own work.

The main thing said was "oh that sounds good and picks up well" as he blipped it in their little workshop. So I told him about the ignition mod, he used to do similar on race bikes for people.

Mk11 was adequate whilst it was a project but Bloo Thing sounds like an accident on the floor.
Can I suggest Bloo Flash as it will be piloted well 🏍�💨

[KiwiCol]

Bloo thing sound like something that goes in the toilet cistern! 

[Hooli]

Well it is flush with clean shiny bits 

[KiwiCol]

Call it Harpic then!!        Everyone will say why's it called Harpic?    

[Hooli]

Ignition switched relay controlling a USB power supply got fitted to the Bloo Thing this afternoon, it'll have a lead run under the tank when it arrives to power a twatnav when needed. The relay means I can fit more accessories without overloading the factory wiring if I ever want too.
The only bits you can see are a couple of wires and the relay when the seat is off. The USB unit is tiny, size of a PP3 and half as thick. So it fits on the back of the fusebox bracket to keep it out the way.

Mid job, that flasher unit is a bodge I'll remove one day as you can get proper ones to suit different indicators. I've got a spare, just didn't bother splicing the original wires back together today.



The USB unit



Done, this is all covered by the side panel anyway

[Dwain Dibley]

Very tidy mate.
