Rode it in the sun. The more miles I put on it since putting it back together, the better I love it. this bike does everything I want.

Also, rode 90 miles with a couple of guys on 500s, was a nice surprise when I went to fill up and it only took 9lt!!!

Went down to devon today, had a blast round and then came back, great roads and reasonably quiet on the roads, did about 20 miles straight but leant over at 30 degrees due to the wind!. Bikes running peachy, and still in love with it. Fuel consumption today? Feck knows and don't care!!! :lol:

Was a bloody PITA to get the wiring right without trying and guessing my way through.
Proper measurements is key to success i guess :beer:

Actually, I don't think so.. Only clear white see-through and black (aka "smoke") :/
However @Tweety has some nice guides for it tho.. Head over to http://www.tweety.se/gallery.php and search for "LED" to see how it looks.
