I met your mate from Wareham last night at the Bugad bike night which was great. Good turnout of bikes and a beautiful evening. My V1000 was running on song and I now know it is at least as quick a Tiger 900 but not as quick as an MV Brutale!
This Mod Rob..?A 12Volt DPDT relay isn't hard to find, but one with 6.3mm Lucar terminals that'll be 'plug 'n play with the wiring on the Hesketh is... This one is a bit OTT with regard to the contact current spec, but it's just what Dr Mick ordered in all other respects...Other relays may require 'flying leads' to be soldered into place prior to connection into the bike's wiring...I've not had any trouble with the bike backfiring until I re-did the silencer acoustic wadding... I've been advised to check the carbs, ignition timing and silencer joints... Looks like another rebuild on the cards... Jeff
