Now, I&#8217;m generally not too fussed at how fast I&#8217;m travelling, but until I get my lisence it&#8217;s probably best I keep my speed low-key. I did replace it with a spare I had lying around in a Starion guage cluster, but as you can see, it&#8217;s clear&#8230;.. I shall have to go back in sometime and re-paint them both (maybe to blue) when I also change the back-light on the guages.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"433\" height=\"323\" src=\"http:\/\/www.centaurtechnologies.com\/insanetom.com\/images\/indicators old.JPG\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\">Ant this is last weeks project, here you can see the indicator damaged in my fall.. \ud83d\ude41<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"437\" height=\"328\" src=\"http:\/\/www.centaurtechnologies.com\/insanetom.com\/images\/indicators new.JPG\" \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">And new cat-eye indicators!! May they last another 16 years \ud83d\ude42 Tomorrow I think the bike needs a good wash.. \ud83d\ude42 I ended up ordering those grip-warmers, although I was a tad intoxicated and talking to some american bird (in america no less) so hopefully they will get here ok in 2-3 weeks time&#8230;. and something else is planned for Monday week, but I&#8217;ll get to that when the time comes.. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t you hate it when your browser crashes just before you&#8217;re about to his &#8220;post&#8221;??
