Re: Body mounted fog lights
They are Bosch 5" fog lights, but I`ve wired them into the high beam. They`ll see more use that way. They should really be 4", but they work out at about £600 a pair, and I can`t justify that price!! Once you`ve cut the holes they simply bolt to the outer of the luggage compartment, with a...

Re: Body mounted fog lights
Hi Rich, yer the hard tops been fun, needed to cut it in half, add two inches to the middle, then re-profile the front and rear, for a nice snug fit.

Re: Is it me, or is something wrong here?
Nice sidescreens, they do fit better the other way round though. One mans attempt at stopping the water getting in.

Re: Speedster in Mertro Paper
Top notch job, and I thought I was doing well building mine the first time, for 6.5k, just to prove you could build a Speedster cheaply. She must have got the body second hand, for a song, as that`s the major outlay. I take my hat off to you young lady, have a wonderful life together, and happy moto...

Get solid piece of stainless round tube, run a die down it on one end or get a local machine shop to do it for you, Bend the other end over 45 degrees and cut a slot in the bent bit. Drill a hole in the windscreen frame, hook the top in and pass through the hole in the dash. Cut a pice of pipe the s...
