Increased indicators light so they can become useful in day time..

Did you use clear plastic tube type things so the light goes from base to the black thing easier?
What did you use?

Adjusted the chain. Now that the bike is mostly rebuilt I am making good use of it, and Roxy has been sweet the last few rides.

no ,he just took the speedo cluster apart and removed the black rectangle mask shown in the above pics. You loose all the icons of what each light represents but its easy to figure out by what button your pushing.....high bean, L&R turn signal, low gas, neutral, etc. you can then see these lights in broad daylight. rj

Part of my order I just received, spare blank keys fuel filter and the main thing is a new stepper motor to see if my theory is correct as to why it bogs just on light throttle and why I get a exhaust pop on decel near 2000 - 3000 rpm.
I suspect a slow or lazy stepper motor so it allows in too much air.
Will see!
Tomorrow I should have a totally new throttle body as well as a totally new version radiator water bottle to try out.

See what is what once completed

Sorted the decel pop and surge just off idle - the stepper motor needed cleaning and was great.............. for around 10km and then no idle.
Pulled it apart and found the stepper totally out so blocking the air passges.


Here is my NEW NEW NEW water bottle from the RX3s and I found it wasn't easy to mount to the panel due to the water hose, so I did it to the frame area instead.
Be the easiest way to top up I think.

Remove seats and tank bolt, then remove the 4 stainless bolts and gently move side covers apart lift the tank up n remove wires and hoses

RX3 with elegance
I’ll see what they’re like on the bike n if they stay put or move about.
They are covers and stretchy valcrow rather then staples on.
I wonder if an upholstered set would be much better
What’s your thoughts?
Might add this to my product line

Hundreds of Old School, level, evenly padded motorcycle seats are good for hours of riding. Been that way for at least 50 years.The BMW offroad racers style is a broken fashion statement and fails on virtually every bike fitted with such a seat. It is an idea no more thoughtful than ripped jeans, no underwear, and spread legs in high school.

What is the effect on seat comfort? Price? Any other contact points besides the ischium and sacrum? Price?

Sure would be nice to spread the load across instead of the three boney points and testicles jammed into the seat while the rest of my bottom is suspended by the stupid fashion seat design.
