Put the Bonneville in the garage after a ride out earlier.....and just got a sneaking suspicion that the brakes were not all that. Got the torch out and looked at the pads and yes, they need doing, both ends.
Full set of pads now ordered.
(Hopefully I now win the most boring forum bike thread of the year).

There was a used rev counter (pre-owned retrofit tachometer upgrade kit) - if you are posh, available in the small ads locally....all the fixtures and fittings, the works. All works fine, idiot lights, tach illumination the works. But can I get the tach to work? NO...

This is how I bought the assembly literally a week ago. Problem still to be resolved so please bear with. I'm going out to Walmart tomorrow to purchase a Multimeter (to check continuity from key points). All good fun.  |

Part of me is suspecting the head unit (tach itself) - seller has agreed to meet me on Sunday at Griffith Park with a replacement unit so we can 'plug and play' on the spot....will update of course.

He bought one along with him to test.....and yes, his test one worked on my bike. Sadly it's not just a case of him swapping it as the one he used to test was from a Thruxton, therefore had a white face. He said I can either give you your money back or I can take it home and repair it. I opted for the second option. Fingers crossed.

Good to know your wiring is ok though.

Talk about schoolboy error. That said it was not just me this time. It escaped two of us. (Spot the difference). Ignore the instrument lighting wires by the way, on the second image they are plugged home.   |

Anyway, by hook or by crook we got there in the end.  |
