Yeah right.

Dunno - but when I bought my Tiger about 4 years ago it came as
standard with the EU 'dipped beam is one headlamp, full beam is both'
setting as standard.

Taylors of Chippenham were perfectly happy to put it back to the proper
way of doing it.

You're all jolly rude about my fine example of classic heavy

I did actually spend some time in a Kawasaki Heavy Industries drydock
in about 1979. It's only now that I realise where I'd seen your bike
before...

You will be delighted to hear that a Merkin Gentleman who has recently
moved into town used to own a blingmobile.

They made more than *one*, did they?

They made several. They even made two models (the 1300 and the later
1200).

Ah. I shall ask him which one he had when I next see him.

Nope, a plain old transverse four. Really, a complete wimp-out on the
part of KHI, and therefore an inferior product.

The problem is it still has cabbage in it, therefore I just don't
touch it.

 

Chap round the corner has 3 of them in various states of carcass
stripping. The whole yard is a resting place for lardy old bling.
You'd be right at home.

I'll swop you 'Jewish Racing Gold' for it.

 

Or just remove the headlight bulb? A drastic measure, I know, but....

 

And a longer stopping distance.

 

maybe we can time-share the both of 'em.

Not just the headlight, on some bikes, though.

It's both headlights, sidelights, running lamps, fairing markers,
saddlebag lights, top box lights, rings of fire, air intake neons[1]
all eight tail lights, brake led bar, and number plate light.

[1] WUN will be so jealous.
