Just the patent & instructions to sort now :good: Cheers. I got some DRL's the same as the ones you were getting (led strips about 8 inches long) and have tested with those. Seems alright, they get quite warm though, but that's very handy in Scotland right now ![]()  Hope to post one out tomorrow.  There are 5 wires to be connected nothing too technical.

But then again I have big hands. The original plate stack (9 plates) were made up of the 2 outer plates having larger 'lands', manufactured from a different material to the rest. See the pic, the darker coloured material and large lands was an outer plate  The new clutch has 9 plates all of which look more like the darker coloured one one in the photo, and all have the larger lands. The 2 innermost plates of the original stack looked very dry and a bit glazed.(as per photo)  The new plates were soaked in oil for 3 days before installing. I don't know if that's necessary these days but I still do it !

What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - TDM900OZ - 26-03-2018 Did the airbox mod a while ago but it didn't seem to make a lot of difference, sooo i thought some more about it and last night I adjusted the throttle cable and added more slack ( it was a wee bit lacking in free play)  Instantly waay better, no surging and way smoother on/off the throttle it's like a different bike, I'm embarrassed to think it was so simple i should have thought of this earlier, I have been riding bikes for long enough, It must be that intelligence shielding thing someone mentioned.. What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - 92TDMFREQ - 27-03-2018 I got some Galfer steel braided brake lines.

I use an adapter kit to clamp onto and lift the footpegs at the rear, on my red version.  I'm currently waiting on some LED strips to make up DRL-type additions, using a gizmo to reduce the brightness and selecting Hi/off/Lo via an on/off/on switch - if it works! What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - fixitsan - 27-03-2018 Quote:Chris,  Hi Steve, I had reservations about using the downpipes at the front as a lifting point, but the EZRizer website stated the following...   Quote:Exhaust Collector Pipes.  Lifting at the rear is achieved by lining the beam up with the raised legs of the centre stand as well as the outer edges of the exhaust link pipes. The link pipes are mounted into the standard collector pipes at the rear, so I am lifting it about 2" from the central mounting bolt towards the rear of the downpipes and just in front of the link pipes.  It is surprisingly stable but i can induce a bit of rock and roll without too much trouble, going into the future I'll be making something up to support the pegs which will make removing the exhaust components with the bike at waist height a possibility.  I'm going to have a go at splitting the front forks while they're clamped at the stanchions and raised up on Big Blue.....should be fun ! I'm happy with it for the £60 I paid ![]()   As for DRL control there's a lot of options. I know I've got my wee project ont he go but you can buy very small and cheap 12V PWM motor control boards, which I suspect only need the potentiometer removing and replacing with a light dependent resistor, LDR. Or there are even simpler 'night switches' available. The problem with these 2 methods is that they might change output as you go underneath streetlights....but hey it might make you more noticeable !  If you're going to use a resisistive method with a switch (if that was your plan ?) then I would look to drop the voltage down to about 8V or 9V for a 50% reduction in brightness, and use a 3W or even 5W resistor. But because it's an LED and a current based device using the voltage like this isn't technically correct is it ? Light output is proportional to current, and nearly linear http://www.ledsmagazine.com/content/dam/leds/migrated/objects/features/10/5/6/DesignFigFour.gif so you need to probably look at the blue curve (white leds are doped blue leds) ?  If you want to try the controller I'm playing with drop me a line, I'm going to make another couple of prototypes soon, I need to add an on-off function to disable them for MOT testing What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - Timbo1866 - 27-03-2018 Well not today Sunday fitted new battery then went for a ride But what kind of numpty does this [attachment=o10818] They fitted a wider battery so had to cut the battery box it also made it impossible to remove the battery without undoing the top of the shocker Why why why do people butcher things just to save a few pennies What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - fixitsan - 27-03-2018 Quote:Well not today I may well have a spare mk2 battery box in my empire of dirt, if interested What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - steve27bha - 28-03-2018 Quote:....... going into the future I'll be making something up to support the pegs which will make removing the exhaust components with the bike at waist height a possibility.See the attached pic of the OEM supports for the TDM. They lift on the footpeg brackets directly and the U-shaped wingnutted straps hold the pegs and lock it all together. Come see the bits if you want to try your own make. I regularly lift on the pipes at the front, but with a wider pad than your bar. Wood block under sump in pic..  My light control gizmo is/will be? this item - in the post apparently. I'll have to frig about connecting it to bare wires. What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - fixitsan - 28-03-2018 Quote:See the attached pic of the OEM supports for the TDM.

Wood block under sump in pic..  Those brackets look the business....can you ride the bike over the lift easily, or do you fit the brackets when the lift is put in place under the bike ?  The PWM device is just the sort of thing i was talking about. I've had to order one, it might be easier to retrofit one of those than to build a custom unit. !
