    Final Drive Protector/Guard Fitting

    Hi all, The front of the final drive/shaft drive guard dropped-down on me one day (I believe I heard it's only held on with a cable-tie?), and because I was out and about I remove the bolt holding it at the other end and strapped it to the seat to get home. Unfortunately I've mislaid the screw...

    Wires on LED spotlights

    I have some LED spots that I got from a friend, but they have three wires on each - red, black and white. I'm guessing red and black are live and ground, but what's the white wire likely to be for? Literally each light has a cable with three wires, no harness or relays or anything else evident...

    Where to take switched live for switching current for relays?

    I'm thinking of getting an eastern Beaver PC-8 for my accessories because I appreciate how tidy a solution it is, but this question equally applies if you use a more "home made" solution. So the PC-8 supplies power for "stuff", and in most cases where I want an individual switch (e.g...

    Well-kept secret to mounting to a 12mm accessory bar

    When I bought the Tumbler, the previous owner had installed the Touratech adjustable windscreen bracket (https://shop.touratech.co.uk/windscreen-adjuster-with-gps-mounting-bar-for-yamaha-xt1200z-super-tenere-up-to-2013.html) and upon it, the Touratech locking GPS mount for the Garmin Zumo 660...

    S10 + Arduino = Interesting hacks

    Has anyone ever heard of someone managing to get data out of the S10 with a microcontroller like an Arduino? As a hobby project I've always wanted to build a custom dash of some kind (non-destructive, it'd just fit over the top of the existing unit) but I'd need to get data like speed, RPM...

    Rubber grommet under rear rack behind pillion seat

    Does anyone know what the rubber grommet under the rear rack behind pillion seat is for? It's perfectly situated to take a 12v socket or something, but there's not enough gap under it for that. In fact it seems to be purely for access to a bolt, but surely there must be more to it than that...?

    Security of Givi Monokey Top Case Mounting Kit for AltRider Luggage Racks

    I was wondering if anyone had the Altrider luggage rack + Givi monokey mounting kit, and whether they'd bothered replacing the standard bolts with "security" bolts (i.e. needing a special hex key rather than a standard one to remove the pillars from the underside and steal the box)?
