It's part of the bikes charging system. It was the week spot on a Suzuki of that age/type. Nearly everyone swapped it for a Superdream one. Easy job there's instruction on the web even.

Of course. But it was a devil on shoulder, angel on the other situation. Maybe next yaer but what I'm really looking for is a nice Transalp or Africa Twin or possibly a BMW GS. Good to hear your enjoying the Hornet. Glad it hasn't bitten you too hard. It's only establishing mutual respect. That either makes perfect sense to you or it's the biggest pile of jiz you've ever read. -- JustaBloke http://www.justabloke.com |
