Much appreciated update, I dream of an LS3 for the Z4 coupe. Holmart?

Hard work always pays off in the end! Well done mate.

Just have to find someone who is on board with older cars. The old man has had the same experience once or twice with his Austin Seven. He normally loves to argue the point but in this instance he just moves on haha.

That's a pretty sweet bike, really makes my sportster look like blunt object. Glad to hear you came away from that off reasonably well all things considered.

Giving claude ai pro a whirl: Given this new information about the components being MOSFETs (BUK2 50Y), the purpose of this circuit board is likely: Intelligent Trailer Interface: This is a solid-state control module for managing trailer electrical functions. Load Switching: The MOSFETs act as high-efficiency switches to control various trailer lights and electrical systems. Signal Amplification: It likely amplifies low-current signals from the car's computer to drive higher-current loads in the trailer. Circuit Protection: MOSFETs can provide fast, reliable overcurrent protection for both the vehicle and trailer electrical systems. PWM Control: Possibly enables pulse-width modulation for advanced lighting control or power management. Multiplexing: Could allow multiple trailer functions to be controlled over fewer wires between vehicle and trailer. Diagnostic Capabilities: May include features for detecting trailer connection status or lighting faults. This design represents a more advanced approach to trailer wiring compared to traditional relay-based systems. It offers better efficiency, reliability, and potentially more sophisticated control options for modern vehicle-trailer setups.

“I almost had you”

Maybe one day we can have a drag race and see how a Leaf goes against the E208

Pretty sure they said the first one of those they had made shat itself in quick order and it was horrendously dear.

I really thought you had it that time. Fucking roller coaster of emotions this rattle. Can you take it somewhere with a suspension checker that shakes the shit of out the car for while you’re in it or under it?

Baffles I bought are very restrictive but I could easily make them into the less restricted ones by adding some more holes. Or I could delete the part which makes them not straight through. It’s fine with decent headphones but it’s bloody loud for everyone else so wouldn’t be surprised if I got a ticket one day. the bike came with standard pipes, the original mufflers and a set of screaming eagle slip ons. The more I ride the bike the more I like how rowdy it is though… it does go quite well when giving it the beans.

Yeaaahhhh that is balls man.

Lol. I think it had only done 500km since 2020 I think I've done double that already. It is a nice bike, especially for the money. I ripped the baffles back out and the solution is definitely to wear noise cancelling earbuds It is so much fun to hoon with the loud pipes.

Thanks Joe, bikes are definitely rad. It's not super comfy despite being a unit. I think a single seat would be good but also things are crazy money. I did see a peanut tank listed and they do look a lot nicer but also you don't look very cool stopping for gas every hour. Maybe smarten up the rear guard and a set of better rear shocks, can't see shit out of the mirrors when they are undermounted.

First ride - SLOW Did make it alot quieter, smoothed out low end considerably but it's dulllllll. It's super slow up top, Might keep these for WOF's and just invest in some better noise cancelling headphones. These are the quiet versions of the baffle, I can modify the existing ones to have more speed holes:

Baffles come in two flavours, quiet and super quiet. I didn’t find too many examples or reviews at first but helpfully I ended up finding an old forum post where someone bought the quiets and ended up going for the super quiets and even those were rowdy. Looking at the pics you could probably add some more holes to the super quiets to make them into the quiet baffles. They’re not cheap but convenient and fit is spot on. The cheeky buggers at Boyd’s sent me a lightly used one which wasn’t ideal but to their credit they have sent me another new replacement. Didnt realise there’s technically already a baffle in them when I went to get the job done. You have to partially remove the heat shields to access the button head screw securing each baffle in place. Existing noise makers: Super Quiet: Pretty easy job once I had both new ones in hand. This is the “lightly used” one I got at first: stripped threads on screw and baffle to boot! Quick change of the flash tune to update it with the baffles which is super easy in the App! Haven’t ridden it yet but already noticeably quieter and the tone is a bit nicer but that might just be due to the fact my eardrums aren’t bleeding. The Mrs reckons it’s way quieter from the kitchen haha Have bought a couple new bits of gear to stay safe as well. Carbon fibre helmet has been a great purchase, at 1.2kg it’s much lighter than any other I’ve previously had.
