I'm so getting one of these.
You probably want to go into town, and find a up to date Jap Bike store,
With a full spares department, a clean workshop, and kean young mechanics.
And ask them if theres a Grumpy Old Bloke out in the Hills, who knows how to fix Real Motorcycles.

Great stuff and very good protection.

Stiff price for a sticker, even it is less expensive than a new electrical system; I think I'll keep doing my own work for now :wink:

$3-4 is too much? I'm trying to think of how many Norton parts are less than $3...

You got me there...

For me, anyway, I wired my Norton with a negative ground, I won't be forgetting, or if I do it will be serve a higher purpose :lol:

Good stuff!

I guess a pack of the LUCAS stickers would be handy to attach to the parts you should replace when you get the time... :D

Just did that to mine as well. Broke my heart to make red wires negative, but I'll get over it.
