Thanks.

Possibly a fault within the switch itself? I might have a spare I could post to you to try. Obviously you've checked for blown fuses? Let me know if you want to try a different switch & i'll have a look to see if I've still got it. Cheers Thanks for the kind offer, I thought it may be the switc...

What would cause the Brown wire in the Ignition switch connector block to short out. I went out for a ride, came home. Next day turned the key on, no power at all. Noticed the brown wire on the ignition switch connector block had shorted out. I have bought a new connector block, which is now fitted ...

Nice one.

send "Big Fluff" (William Barber), a PM - he can provide you with clock faces.

Thanks Adrian for the great response Sir. I have a bit of a bitsa bike with parts from all years. So basically I have a seat pan that I think is from a 1978 LTD bike, Now as the pan itself is in good serviceable order I want to use this and trim it up as an A2 seat. are the seat pans between the A1...

Thank you for the replies. I think I will bite the bullet and order some parts. I had issues with Fed ex recently when I bought things from South Africa so I will use another option. I will report back, once my order has been made! :D I have bought many parts over the years, including a set of Z1 d...
