White House K10 - a story of regeneration

[Ninemeister_imp]

Thanks for the info GoldOxide, I figured as much regarding the site so will do my best to work around it. Of course, an easy way is a quick thumbs up from other members after each post.


As well as the headlight ears, one of the other sent by Takashi was a new K10 rear light unit, with which I lost no time getting it to fit.

The original light was easy enough to remove, the wiring a little less so as it was well and truly stuck inside the wiring sleeve on the underside of the mudguard.

(Whilst mentioning the mudguard, I was also shocked at how poorly protected it was underneath, the chrome was wafer thin and of course corrosion had a free ride to take hold. Seems to be a common problem, so will give it a coat of paint on final fit.)

Fitting the new light involved marking out then drilling the mudguard, fitting a grommet for the wire and transferring the mounts from the original light. All easy enough I guess.

After fitting I was slightly surprised that the original mounting holes are exposed between the light and the seat, so as a temporary measure I've taped up the holes with aluminium tape until such time that I can have a new pair of mudguards made in stainless steel.
