   just woke up, now I'm going to bed, I had these listed from when I was playing with it all, didn't get as far as contacting them but might be worth a try

   I would think that a heated one is worth the extra circuit as we don't run long enough to heat the sensor properly

   Hi Mate, I know that I wrote a reply to this but it would have been a late night/early morning weekend thing and maybe the old motor skills were waning. Anyway what I said was, anytime would be good, we are almost certainly looking at our last season with the "old" car (having just got back from looking at the new motor components, I certainly hope so) and I would just like to prove that we are close with the carbureter tune we have before switching to injected meth.

I have all LED's fitted to the back end of my trike and it's gone through the MOT no problem.  I'm using two stage LED's so the same light gives side and brake, the brake being brighter than the side.

regulations for LED lights


Now with the new 1641 engine and a few more bits finished.
The LED's were imported from America and have two intensities.  All the lamps light but on sort of half brightness, then full brightness. I even have two of them wired up as fog lights and nothings been said about that either.

  Iain, nice to meet you today and thanks again for the Magic Thing. I am just looking at ordering a sensor to set it all up, I was looking at the three wire unit shown on the attached link, I am assuming that this will use the exhaust pipe as its earth return, does this sound right to you ? If this is correct I will go for the four wire  (86400)with a dedicated unit earth as I hate chasing earth faults. Again , I really appreciate it ,thanks

From what i remember the governing factor for any rear light is that it has the relevent british standard (or equiv) on the lens. Not sure weather it's checked at MOT or if it's just a "construction & use" requirement.

Hi Tony, also as far as I know -without digging out the manual & checking -the MSVA trike regulations don't require E marks on lights.

The Earth would probably be ok through the exhaust but it would be better to run it back with other wires as I'm not sure if the heat of the exhaust may effect it's earthing performance.

Great to meet you both at the weekend and let me know how you get on!
