Washed 3 years worth of flies off yesterday, was surprised it started afterwards as I thought the flies were oem fitment.
Took it for a good blast to dry it off, fun! :good:

Restored the old faithful to only bike in the garage. F650 GS is on its way to sunny Suffolk. It was brief but fun, just a fling, it meant nothing, I still love just you......

Many a TDM owner has had their head turned by a new floosie, only to return to the fold years later at great expense. Good job you kept your TDM in reserve. I just as guilty test riding Tracers, Tiger 900's and Nikkens. Eventually it comes down to what more will this new bike give me that my TDM does not ? In actual fact not very much, certainly not enough to justify vast expense.

Swapped out the blown Dip lamp (HID) for a LED (of the correct focal length).

No back story Cliff, it's just one or other bike was just being used to hang jackets and stuff on in the garage. Had a blast with two good getaways on it, enjoyed the bringing it back to life period and made a couple of Bob, what's not to like!!
Maybe something else will take it's place beside the TDM.....no plan, but never say never...

treated the bike to new boots, Michelin Road 6's

Pray tell me more about the LED. I could do with a bit more light output.
Â
I removed my dip HID when they became illegal, and tried a LED. It was utter cr*p with light everywhere but on the road. The HID ballast and wiring is still on the bike if I ever felt like breaking some rules between MOTs.
Â
I could offer my spare HID if you wanted to stay outside the rules, and it fitted your kit.
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - alanfavell - 25-08-2022
LED is a C6 H3 - you need to make your own 8mm packer so that is retained by the original lamp clip,also measure and adjust the metal base ring to the correct distance (near end of LED to metal base).
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - steve27bha - 25-08-2022
Thank you, Favs. That looks like the item I have.
I used a packer between the LED's collar and the spring clamp, but the adjustment you mention is new to me. There was no info in the box about focussing.

I have HID lights and have passed MOT.
So looked at MOT regulations and there is a change  From 22 March 2021, weâre changing these rules so that not all motorcycles and vehicles will fail the MOT test if their halogen headlamp units have been converted to be used with HID or LED bulbs.
Class 1 and 2 motorcycles must not be failed for the defect âLight source and lamp not compatibleâ.
<p style="font-family:'GDS Transport', arial, sans-serif;font-size:19px;color:rgb(11,12,12);">Headlamps must comply with all other requirements of the test and headlamp aim.
<p style="font-family:'GDS Transport', arial, sans-serif;font-size:19px;color:rgb(11,12,12);">So I will continue with excellent light from HID safe knowing I am not breaking law!

Yep, well spotted, LED in mine and it's crap at night, completely off, much prefer HID.
