I can't see how a reflective number plate improves safety, it obviously makes it easier to read so you can get nicked easier. I always get pressed ally plates made by Tippers ( class ). Where a high vis jacket if you are worried about safety. 

The weather is looking good

I can't post pictures on here, but if you PM me your email address I can take some this evening. Regards, Mark. 

Well, done about 90 local miles on barn find. Running as expected.
Yesterday it let me down. My fault, a connection I'd made came adrift and shorted out causing the 20 amp fuse in my new wiring harness to blow.
Fixed the fault, put in new fuse, all working well......except it's no longer charging the battery.
CVC was professionally rebuilt and was working.
The dynamo is no longer showing any significant output. 0.3 to 0.5 volts when engine is reved.
Question.....could the short circuit and subsequent blown fuse have de-magnetised the dynamo?
All was working fine before the short circuit and everything is working fine except the lack of charge.
Help please. Thanks, Rick.

Hi There
Whilst appreciating the heritage of BSA it seems that their swan song of 1971/72 seems to be looked down upon. One could argue that they should have looked in that direction back in the mid sixties instead of peddling out the same old designs. And triumph took their design and went forward with it (although some thought for too long - sounds familiar). Any way I now have a 1971 thunderbolt undergoing strip and rebuild, a 1971 Lightning that is spotless and a 1972 Lightning Cafe racer which is spanking.
