343792 2005-04-14 15:01:00 I hope those chooks wear helmets when they go riding Winston. :dogeye: B.M. (505)
343793 2005-04-15 09:06:00 Just to show what I've been dealing with, here is the cap: sal.neoburn.net

Success! :badpc: By dint of hard work, perseverence, sweat and honest toil, the recalcitrant cap has been finally removed. Or perhaps it was just good luck and judicious applications of CRC. Anyway it now works.

It turned out that the screw was corroded. I suspect that a couple of irritated thumps with my fist did the job. Perhaps the ball peen hammer suggestion wasn't far off the mark.

Cheers guys and thanks for the fun.

Incidentally do you notice that kids these days talk about "chickens" a la American. Not hens or chooks. We're becoming another outpost of the USA.

Are you considering a touch of paint? I reakon it will look fantastic with a red or metalic silver paint job.

343796 2005-04-15 09:25:00 I like red but since it is ex-MOT, I sort of want to keep it original. In fact I'd love a siren. Any ideas where to get one? :D Winston001 (3612)

343798 2005-04-15 09:45:00 Original is great! It's a shame people have got used to no motorcycle cops, a white fairing used to have cars pulling over to let you pass. PaulD (232)

Very true!
In the UK I used to have a white 'Avon' fairing on my bike, and cars were always slowing down in front of me :cool:
