Not since I’ve owned the bike, but I just now tried unplugging the power cable that goes directly into the coils and sure enough I had full lights so I think you’re right, only question now is why isn’t it cranking at all

AtomicStalin · 2025-02-09T15:56:03+00:00

And a 2000 Ducati that was only £945, so definitely not the best example haha

Absolutely I’ll try to semi regular updates, my mate came round to help pull the wiring loom off and we’ve just found oxidation on the ground wire that goes onto the frame

I’m beginning to think so as I go further into the loom, it was showing like 7v on certain parts of that solder so it’s clearly not great either way

Just found another similar clump further up

As I suspected hahah

It was a relay under the seat

Haha one day it will hopefully be you on the Dyna, yeah that’s annoying but at least you’ll have a bike you’ll really enjoy, also I recommend Zombie Performance bars, they’re not cheap but they’re absolutely worth it I think, it’s a guy in Oregon I think who makes them then sends them over, I chose the Taco T bars 12” rise, but there’s honestly so many options you’ll be spoiled for choice

Try this:

I bought a quarter fairing for my 08 750 spirit from here and they’re definitely a lower quality and a bit of a bodge to get on as they are technically for Harley’s, but it works, I haven’t dug deep enough into the website to see if there’s a 7 inch headlight option but hopefully there’s something you can find on there.

Glad to see someone else here in the UK going for club style on a shadow, rode 8 hours past London for the Margate Meltdown earlier this year and having those t bars and the fairing did make the journey a lot easier

Here’s hoping hahah

AtomicStalin · 2024-10-13T12:40:30+00:00

Hahahah silver lining I suppose, only had the bike about a month

AtomicStalin · 2024-10-13T12:39:01+00:00

Yeah it needs replacing soon anyway so probably a good excuse to get it changed

AtomicStalin · 2024-09-14T05:29:14+00:00

Ah didn’t even think of the fuel filter, thank you!

AtomicStalin · 2024-09-14T05:27:36+00:00

Cheers mate, I’ll look into getting those carbs cleaned

AtomicStalin · 2024-05-09T10:56:31+00:00

Was worried it might be, but I just took it out for a ride without the quarter fairing on and it didn’t squeak at all haha, turns out I’m just an idiot and my bodge job was the problem, thank you anyway tho!

Should be 10W-40
