#1 PostAuthor: mikey » Sun May 15, 2016 7:33 am

Mick yes reflector still in good nick.

Garry yes they would be a massive improvement on what i got now.

It was last night went out to see a pub band last night riding back pretty late first time in a while i had ridden it that late at night and as i was riding along i put my hand in front of my headlight to make sure it was on!!!!!
Time to do something about it.
