* The third is a special one for USA (not sure why - but I guess they have some regulation that requires a different version)

it points up at 42 degree angle............ :smt017

that's for when the FAT B*******S sit on it it points like ours.... :smt002
if you can't ride it....
OR take it too bed...

IT AIN'T WORTH HAVIN...

Day late as usual.

Good points -

There are NO broken lugs, its the fairing thats had all its mountings snapped off, not the light
The scratch is so small i think i rubbed it off

Bad points -

The reflector is broken (see picture) which i didnt realise but whether it affects aim or not I dont know as I think its the bit that reflects light down not up and you cant see it when looking at the front of the bike

Passed the MOT, taped up the light using my garage door as reference and I was in and out in 5 minutes!

Now... should I leave the mangle of tape on my headlamp or remove it? :smt012

Remove it then go through the same old procedure next year.
