Rear lights
Good morning all! I am looking to buy some Lucas style lights for the rear. The rear/brake and indicators are both 73mm and the reflectors are 52mm. I cut out some templates to give an idea. Has anybody fitted these? Any issues with the MSVA? Obviously the height above ground and the distances betwe...

Re: Rear for light requirement for MSVA
Thanks Richard!
I take it that it also sailed through the MSVA test without a problem?
Thanks for signing me up to the Trifles newsletter.
All the best

Re: 1200 Sports 2V oil pressure gauge
The solution I eventually went for was very simple. The oil pressure sensor supplied with the oil pressure gauge has 2 electrical outputs - 1 for the gauge and 1 for the oil warning light. An M12x1.5 x 1/8” BSPP conical adapter goes in place of the oil pressure switch and the hose connected to the a...

Rear for light requirement for MSVA
What is the situation regarding the fitting of a rear fog lamp to a Triking. Is it required? It seems to me that they come under motorcycle rules and therefore do not need one BUT if one is fitted, it has be within spec as for IVA and will be tested accordingly. So if I am correct, if you don’t have...

Brake Bias bar locking for MSVA
After some research,I note that some say that the bias bar, once set up, has to be wired or pinned in place for the MSVA test. Are 2 locknuts not sufficient? With the Triking on trestles, I intend to set up the bias by applying the brakes and fine tuning the bar until the fronts lock up before the r...

Carc swingarm spindle locking ring
Special tool for setting the carc spindle locking ring. Guzzi recommend setting at 10 nm but it requires a special tool. Easy homemade one can be made using a cheap 30mm socket and an angle grinder and a bit of filing. Mine is a bit function over form but does the job. Socket cost me £4-80. I know p...

Reverse gearbox
Just starting on my Type 4 kit and about to start on installing the Transmission beginning with the reverse box. Does anybody have any build photos of their installation of the box in their car? It seems to me that the setting up this is key to getting the rest lined up. Any help gratefully apprecia...
