Lookin' good.

I use the Suzuki 30 litre as a daily boot only adding the monster box (think pizza delivery) when off camping.

Tonight i carried home a 2 ton lift jack and very interesting it was going round corners & braking held to the grab rails by twist ties :shock:

Hey Scootyman,

Any tips for getting the sidelamps out!?

The manual just says reach in from underneath and pull it
out. No twisting. But they are not coming for me!

Well, after much perserverance, I finally figured out the technique for removing the side (or position) lights. It wasn't so much a straight pull out, rather a wiggle left and right, until it came free. Next time will be easier!

Anyway, here are pics of my bike again with the standard lamps and the new OSRAM LED lamps.

I do wonder if I will need to adjust the headlamp angle, but I haven't been out in the late evening yet to see what it's like.

Sorry for the slow reply. I do exactly that. Just give them a tug on the wires and they pop out. Little light coat of silicone lube on the housing makes for an easier change next time too.

Now that my lights are sorted, next thing I'm thinking about on my Vision are tyres. I've read a lot about the Cheng Shin tyres not being great in the wet, and asked about tyres on Andrew Parry's Honda vision Facebook group (which is great by the way if you've got a Vision and are on Facebook you should definitely join...I joined Facebook just to join that group!😂). Folk there are recommending the Michelin City Pro as a good all weather tyre, better than the Pilot Street.

It seems there aren't many to choose from given the narrow front wheel on the Vision. And with Michelin we're kinda limited to City Pro or Pilot Street (City Grip doesn't have a front wheel size option).

I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts on tyres on this forum/thread. Thanks y'all!
