Oh and I had taped up the unused light holder from the original dash yeah they’re made of squishy rubber prob what actually killed the rectifier added bonus of now using dc circuit is its fused too

So yeah that happened, whilst looking for a wiring diagram (figured should be similar to a grom which is popular in USA and lots of english sites) found you could buy a rectifier that just puts out dc for the lights so can also run led lights I stumbled across this http://tripageled.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=182 so just need a jumper wire to the DC brake circuit seems easy and free there was a aux switch already wired into the brake circuit for a extra taillight that I assume they used on the post bag that would of been on the back so chopped that and put into the headlight wire from the rectifier hey presto I now have switchable headlights and working led display

Cheers man yeah figured for 337.33 even if it was toast I could use it for parts for my c50 but seems to be running mint, just need to seal a few oil leaks went for a night ride and discovered the speedo didn’t light up figured since I had the cluster apart and the handle bar loose I’d chuck my old cx500 straight bars on, also remembered I had a speedo too so on that went

speaking of metal in bodys, my boy just got his taken out in august, the screws were far longer than i had envisaged asked the surgeon why they take the plate and screws out etc, he just said its better etc (no real firm reason) wifes been crook on and off this year with whack blood samples been to a few specialists, latest one reckons because she still has metal in her back (scoliosis rods) its not uncommon for the body to react to the metal after about 15yrs, theyve been in 20!
