was looking at converting my SRAD from KM to MPH, so onto ebay i trecked...

SRAD MPH clocks, buy it now, £100 FUCK THAT i said...
so looked a bit harder.

saw someone who obviously doesnt know much about dismantling a bike... selling their clocks, with what looks like a wiring loom still attached! so i bid, i win, and get clocks and a loom for £27... huzah!

killed 2 birds with 1 stone and will soon have UK working headlights too thanks to the loom Very Happy

and if your one of the 2 people who tried to slip in 2 bids in the last 15 seconds... I WON, AHAHHAHAHAH

you dont care, but you read this anyway.

anyone wanna buy some european KM/H SRAD clocks and a euro wiring loom?
cheers queers xxx

total spent on SRAD:::

£900 for bike
£27 for MOT
£27 for new not vital clocks

...and its in feckin good nick Very Happy

goddammit i should have been a businessman!

What do you mean fully working UK headlights thanks to the loom?

Surely all you'd need is a right switchgear... and even with a new loom you won't actually have the switch.

On the imports they didn't have a high beam 'flash' switch either. When I knackered my switchgear, I fitted one off an SV and it worked fine. So I suspect the loom is the same.

european headlight loom has 2 wires going into each the lights.
UK has 3.

at the mo, one lamp is low beam, the other is high beam.

no, i got a decent srad for £900 Very Happy
to convert it to injection from carbs, do you just need injectors and throttle bodies?
any major advantages/gains? (i mean noticeable ones)

smoother power delivery, and if set up right, possibly more efficent? not sure on that though


Disadvantage...i was gonna say harder to service, but if youve bloody built it/modded it your gonna be able to d the work...so dont see any downsides. Cept....Carbs FTW! Very Happy

I believe you also lose the ability to do killswitch backfires (although i've not done one since my 125 days!)

Wink

you get a much better optimum mixture line, much easier to setup

but mine would be noticeable from a 600 carbed to a 750 FI & still keeping the QAT & 15/48 aswell Twisted Evil

iv already downloaded the power commander software now, so gonna use the girlfriends laptop & connect it up while the bikes running & see what shes running like when i put her together Smile

& the list you see mattsprattuk is what you need for the conversion - not just fuel injectors

titz - your right about the backfires, cause when you hit kill switch the FI bikes cut them off but the carbs still build up fuel & ignite it again when turned back on & BANG! Twisted Evil tho its not good for the bike - so i only do it on special occasions now Laughing
