    wiring

    Can't help you there. I removed mine and couldn't stop the **** thing sounding off. Ended up chucking it into a bucket of water until it drowned. Make sure you have the bucket standing by.

    Occasionaly runs like crap.

    I'm a great believer in checking the easy stuff first. Have you checked there are no leaks on the air lines?

    Indicator LEDs

    I ran led strings from Custom Dynamics on my Rocket, at the back, which included rear light, brake light and indicators, all in the same string. I set them into the mudguard rim and for the front, I had led's in the back of the mirrors, just bought those from eBay. Don't ask me about wiring -...

    Simple Slip-on Silencer behind RHS Shroud?

    On one of my RIII's incarnations I had a small Supertrapp silencer, but that was with a set of Predator headers, so apart from the silencer being small & neat I would have no info on how to fit it to the OE headers.

    Neutral light ?

    Ah, right - I was under the assumption that this was the bike you traded in. Good looking beast (the bike, not you)

    intermittent loss of electrical similar to turning off the ignition switch.

    I just took mine to a shop and told them to fit a new ignition down on the side panel. There are threads which would have helped you enormously, if it wasn't for Photobucket deciding to hold people to ransom and blocking the pictures. Nevertheless, I have pasted some links which might help...

    intermittent loss of electrical similar to turning off the ignition switch.

    Sounds very much like when the wiring underneath my ignition switch became detached. Sometimes the wire would be touching, then everything was fine, but sometimes it wasn't, then I had the problems you are experiencing. We had a forensic on how to sort this out, but that nice Mr. Photobucket...

    Lifting a Roadster safely

    Hippo, doesn't your jack have a mechanical safety bar that you push over onto a notched edge, that will stop the jack from lowering when you don't want it to?

    Lifting a Roadster safely

    These 'how to lift' vids are always the same. Conveniently, they always lean the bike over on the side opposite the kick stand. Secondly, they never show anyone doing it on anything other than flat ground with a good surface. And as for the first vid shown here, Jeez - I lean bikes over...
