To many hours with alcohol...internet...and a vivid imagination
thankfully I should have my bike soon so I can do more interesting and useful surfing when the weather is bad

Never tried it myself, could tell it was shit without having a go.

DG8 fitted yesterday. The plug & play version really is a piece of piss to fit: remove screen, unplug loom from back of clocks. Plug connector into new loom section & connect that to the clocks. Replace screen
Teach DG8 number of gears & the ratios. This took about 2 miuntes!
Didn't get to test ride it due to monsoon conditions yesterday
apologies for the poor photo, it was getting dark & my camera battery didn't have enough juice for the flash
