Hi Josh
Out of interest what equipment do you use to test your batteries? Is tehre a specific load tester that you use?

My battery is the original, so is now 7 years old and probably due for a replacement soon.

Regards
John

I use a ctek Brand electronic unit. It's always spot on. I tested it against a carbon load pile when I first got it. It's pretty cool tech. About $100

Amazing stuff

1. had some left over 2 or 4 stroke oil, and decided the panel below the windscreen needed some new life, so began the oil spread, worked really well after playing around with the armoguard which just didn't work as well or as quickly - you can see the before and the after, was very badly faded

2. here again on the battery cover, once you start you feel compelled to do the lot but got tired with all that scrubbing so will do the rest of the covers later.

That will make the bugs stick to it for sure. Try Raptor coatings, works way better than 2 stroke oil. Its a plastic paint, leaves a hammer/spatter finish, supertough and looks good imho.

Did a couple of things today. Fitted a solar panel on the roof, haven’t wired it yet. Fitted a UHF, with a windscreen mounted aerial.

The D4 made it as far west as it could on the mainland today.https://www.aulro.com/mobile-gallery...0de75b27db.jpg

Looks cool Spence, is the panel just glued on?
