Enjoy the ride Trevor, look forward to the pictures

Sidrat, check to see that the bulb is mounted correctly in the headlight. I had a similar failure on mine and this was the reason... - it's right old pain to do mind cus you have to pretty much dismantle the complete front end fairing etc to get at it.
