Did you get the Morimoto projector or the FX-R?

Oh and love your avatar (breaking eggs), had a good chuckle.

Not too sure, they didn't have two options when I bought them, so whatever the newer one is, I probably didn't get that!

Yeh, sarcastic gifs like that generally give me the giggles too.

I found some new batteries for my camera, so here's pics of today's progress!

The LED is the under-voltage light. Which comes on when the charging system isn't running, or when I turn the headlight on cos there is too much voltage drop across the main wire to the fuse box

Very nice.

Wish that I had the time and the tools to do something like that.

This is awesome. I feel we need more pictures of this headlight. the voltage check LED's sound brilliant - the nc30's are notorious for frying reg/rects/batteries/coils etc (depending on how long the problems are left!). I especially loved the mod front end and more upright position as the rc31 was just a little too far forward for my liking (though you pushed the pegs up to compensate but hey, your bike!). Can I ask what you do for a job? I feel you should quit your day job! (unless it involves stuff like this!)

There will be much more pics once I've got it done properly. I've got plenty of components, so if you want me to make up an LED for ya, just call it ten bucks and I'll send one up.

Yup, job is robotics engineer, so pretty similar.

I think we need more pics...that coffee machine in the background looks pretty cool too...

Yeh it's really only a looker, coffee it makes is kinda slimy with a quite noticeable metallic aftertaste...

Also, for people wanting a multifunction battery voltage indicator light instead of just the not charging one I can do, this ebay one is the way to go.

I may buy one for my super unreliable charging system

It's Alive!

Fucking 4th out of 4 gearhead motor's gearbox shat itself so all covers and pop-up instruments have to be done manually, and a few minor finish/fitting issues; but can deal with that later.
