po18guy Posted April 24, 2022 Posted April 24, 2022 They are unbelievably inexpensive. I bought 5 for less than $5, but had to wait for the boat from China. Surprisingly, the first one is fine at the 2-year mark. They have a blink-rate adjustment screw between the pins, and a tab so they will pop into the OEM rubber mount. These at the Amazon link are horrendously expensive - almost $3 ea., but you get five of them tomorrow. https://smile.amazon.com/Adjustable-Electronic-Flasher-Relay-Signal/dp/B07JYY6H3W/ref=sr_1_13?crid=1E2W3F33YJIFM&keywords=adjustable+led+flasher+5x&qid=1650760934&sprefix=adjustable+led+flasher+5%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-13 So, a monkey paw trap full of spare Osrams and flashers for the journey! 1 2
po18guy Posted April 24, 2022 Posted April 24, 2022 Here's a night shot of the B/LT setup. Also, another shot from about 30º to the right, showing that the light, for me, is still plenty visible. 1

The new pad hasn't completely resolved the problem, but it's better than how it was. Another benefit is that we know for certain what gender this bike is now. I like the look of that pad and how it follows the tank curves! Is it some sort of faux carbon finish? Would you mind letting us know where you found it? Thanks!

This is why I never run anything other than clear scratch pads. Even if you can't use an identically shaped replacement it doesn't matter as there will be no fade line. I guess you could always source some material and make the shape to suit the fade lines. Ciao

Would you mind letting us know where you found it? Thanks! The center pad is an Eazi-Grips universal type B "Pro" pad. Ironically, I called in my order and the guy who took it misunderstood. I had asked for the universal"E". Oh, well. I agree that it matches the contours of the tank pretty well. The universal products, as well as bike specific pads and grips, are offered in Evo, Pro, and Silicone. Evo has pretty significant raised domes for more aggressive/track riding. The Pro has some tactile relief. The silicone, I gather, is smooth -- the website photos don't really give a great sense. This will please @Lucky Phil: Many of the shape and grip options are available in clear. Too late for Bubbles, though. 1

billgreenman1 Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 Yesterday I did exactly what I didn't want to happen; I cracked part of the black plastic barrel of the ignition switch. 🤯 Then I started to see if I could buy a new one: not available. The hunt for a Zadi pl336 begins...

Pretty sure the fussy Italian girl just had to pitch her hissy-fit. I have the seals in the pile, just need the lift. But the little Honda is waiting on a NOS cam. From Israel. Gonna be a minute . . . So, I decide there is nothing to be lost by using the SealMate® that @Mikkosent me a couple years ago. Without any real hopes, the left fork went 118 miles today and stayed dry! Shocked! So, I cleaned the right and feel like we're back on the road. Thanks @Mikko ! ! I just now had to repeat this procedure on the left fork after one year and 5,000 miles/ 8.000 km. This time, my buddy @Josh suggested putting some white grease at the cleaned seal and bounce the forks several times so that any dirt gets trapped in the grease. I used the (amazing) Shin Etsu rubber grease. The seal stopped weeping over the last 24 hours. We shall see . . .
