Andymann Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 So just out of interest, if you ever want to screw your mind over go change your gear shift lever to race pattern. 1 up and all down from there.Very intuitive on the down shifts and clutchless upshifts are really smooth.Did it out of interest and will probably change back now...... Biggest gripe is stopped at a light or stop street I will usually tap down on the lever to make sure its in 1st, now its a big adjustment to go up rather. Also change from 1st to second at low revs needs a firm push down on the lever. Or you could just come and take one of our Brits for a spin. RHS gear shift, 1 up, 3 down or 1 down, 3 up - depending on which selector plate Bob from Gearbox parts had in the store on that particular day..... It's a bit scary when you approach a corner and tap down on where the gearlever is supposed to be and you lock up the rear wheel.... Or you approach a corner and press down on what is usually the brake and you lock up the rear wheel because you have just shifted into 1st..... sawystertrance, Wannabe and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 3

Joe De Beer Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 So I passed a very bad cage vs scooter crash yesterday. If I want to have a bigger presence on the road do I get spotlights first or an aftermarket exhaust? I already have the orange head light cover. And it is a 650 dakar twinspark (single)As you didn’t want to spend a fortune on lights I added these to my bike. Doesn’t really help me to see better but wife says she notices me better on the road. Worth the money I would say. https://www.extremelights.co.za/collections/motorbike-lights Allrounder 1

While we where chatting another dude came in and showed me his spots. https://bikegear.co.za/product/desert-fox-raptor-led-spot-light-kit/ Pretty decent. I also had a look at the bikeshops owners spotlights, man they are bright and fancy. But it was crazy expensive, but has different colored lenses that you can use. makes a very big difference.
Hairy Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 From somebody who know's nothing ... why not stick with a Std headlight and just use orange spots?
Allrounder Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 From somebody who know's nothing ... why not stick with a Std headlight and just use orange spots?Orange spots are R1000 rand more expensive than the "normal" ones. They go for 2800 at flying brick at this stage, excluding mounts.

Maizeys Plastcis sells orange plexiglass and some clear, double sided tape will keep it in place.BTW, if visibility is all you are after Midas sells LED spots for under R200. They are plenty bright!!!!! sawystertrance 1
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 seriously .... a R1000 more than "normal ones" ... baffles the mind! What baffles me is people willing to spend that amount of money on a spotlight!!!!! Even R1800 is more than I would spend, more so as it isn't for visibility for all the night time off roading. For visibility a chinese mall R200 jobbie will do the job and comes with various strobe modes for when filtering, seeing as it is for visibility............. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 did really not know about the chinese jobbies.... I know where i am going tomorrow. Up in Jhb the Chinese spots are selling for R600 a set and look identical to the Desert something or other brand that sells for much more.Couldn't see a difference when I bought them. Just a heads up, I tilted mine down slightly so the didn't blind oncoming traffic. Wish more guys did this on the road..... Allrounder and dirtypot 2
