Other than travel insurance which I have to do find, all done! Especially the fuses! Gone through so many on my bike already :/ [/quote]Quote:

Splash,
as yours is a newer motor you shouldn't have an issue with headlight tape.
Headlight tape is mainly for older bikes where they used to fire high right or left depending on which side you drive. Manufacturers are now legally obliged to fit flat beamed headlights.
Traveled lot in Europe and never carried or even met anyone carrying a warning triangle on a bike.

Its because of this requirement that there are different versions of headlamps in use for L/H and R/H vehicles. On my bike as an example there is a completely different headlamp assembly for driving on the left or the right and the lens pattern is reversed. Its this sweep at the edge of the beam which produces glare if your on the "other" side of the road.Quote:

Isn't it a requirement to have retro reflective helmet stickers on all sides in France?
You need to wear a gimp mask 24/7. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
