Hi Chris, Yes, in theory it is possible. It's an open circuit, no solenoid valves or such. There is a flow sensor (which tells the boiler to fire up) and a thermocouple to tell the boiler what temperature is being achieved. If it was backwards, the boiler would only see cold water at the thermocoupl...

I wouldn't have minded so much, but the motorway was empty, nothing in sight in front or behind. Warm evening, well lit stretch of motorway. butt.

Apparently it's over reading by 10%. Avon & Somerset police told me so
Anybody else have this issue?

How loud though???
I rescued a set of twin horns off a late model Honda Civic, bit of bracketry magic and they fitted in place of the original horn.... Work wonders for ten quid

This is the bulb im using, i had one spare from another bike, its the 17watt one with braided heatsink, chosen for the lack of space in the original application i bought it for https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PHILIPS-Ultinon-Essential-LED-H4-High-Low-Headlight-12V-17W-6000K-light-bulb/382561246850?hash...

Cheers Jchesshyre, glad to hear it's an improvement. Its next on my list.

So, here we are in 2019, has anything changed on this topic since the last post 3 years ago?
Mine definitely due an upgrade...

Thanks Wicky, last update on that post is 2016, I'm going to bump it, see if any advances in technology since then....

:thumbup: So, first ride today after finally getting around to fitting the £60 quid, ebay bargain ART cans. Fired the bike up with my kit on, earplugs in. Can't say I noticed a lot of difference. :think: Oh well, they did have road legal markings on them after all. First stop a while later, checked ...

From the Wikipedia page on anodising. " Iron or carbon steel metal exfoliates when oxidized under neutral or alkaline microelectrolytic conditions; i.e., the iron oxide (actually ferric hydroxide or hydrated iron oxide, also known as rust) forms by anoxic anodic pits and large cathodic surface,...

Honestly thought they were OK when I built the carbs, they were both doing the same thing and seemed to be closing fairly quickly, but not exactly slamming.
The leak must have been absolutely tiny.

Hey ho, sorted now! Lesson learned.

Just an update on this, should anybody ever reference it in the future..... I'd not got the diaphragms seated very well for the slides so they weren't opening. Once I'd remembered the correct way to install them (with that goddam spring....) they were fine. Originally I'd installed them by inserting...

Lucky find, I think. Just happened to have a nosey on there last night and there they were! Used to have a pair of ART cans on the black 'Storm, way back. They were nice and deep . And loud :wink: :eh: :lol: A bargain for sure, well spotted :clap: Chris. Go deep or go home, that's what my mama alwa...
