Just waiting on some new 11w ones with 4x side LED's to arrive. Im hoping the sides will reflect more off the reflectors inside the housing and disperse the light a bit more as I found the ones like Sej linked were very "spot light".


That's ok, post up the link in the reverse lights thread if they are any good. ;)


These arrived the other week.

I prefer to be able to see my rear corners, particularly the ground, so they will most likely stay on instead of the other high intensity spot.

Again a little disappointed, mainly in the output of the centre LED. The spread though is a lot better than these, which were mentioned before....

Here's a couple of pics of my new pinstripes. :cry: :cry: They don't look as bad in the picture as they do in person.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything important, it's too late to stop reading it.

my one is black and never gets scratches :D

I never see this paint on this forum, it would be great for the bush and outback in OZ, It's 99% scratch proof epoxy paint. It's a layer of arround 2mm thick epoxy, you can get it in any color you like. And if it does scratch on rocks or accidents, you dont see it because the scratch keeps the color, so no white as with normal paint.

I didn't really do anything to Surgeio but went out to Cobaw State Forest today to have a little look around :D

Although it is a small area, it has some great little tracks. Here's a couple of pictures. ;)

Nice photo's Sej!

I was out at Cobaws on saturday too with a few of the boys who were camping out there with there 4bee's and bikes for the weekend.

Did you come across any riders on any of the trails ?

We came in from the back way from burke and wills track.

We've been going to cabaws since 93. Its probably our most frequently visited place on the bikes but i have only done it a handful of times in the 4bee's.

What did you think of it ?

Thanks George, small world hey? ;)

We came in the top also and only saw a couple of other people which I was surprised about being that it's a small area.

I like the area and will be back for sure..... It has something for everyone IMO ;)

Only a small update.....

Something that has annoyed me from day one was the pathetic horns Mitsubishi fit to the Tritons. :evil:

Anyway today I fixed it, I replaced them with a pair of older Falcon horns..... Much better now :D

A falcon horny MN... I'd be keeping a close on eye on him around the white and silver girly MNs on the next trip mate. Might be some funny business happening if you don't. Keep him well away from schmuck's little pink number :shock:
