davidfowler2000 Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 Spent a wee bittie time today rewiring the new accomodation for a 13 pin plug. This way I have lights and power in one plug and the car can charge the leisure battery in the trailer. Also had a wee run out last night with @davehedgehog31 to test the 205 towing it.

davidfowler2000 Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 First 2022 Update: Not much has happened. Well bugger all actually since the re-wiring of the trailer for the car to charge the leisure battery. Still a few loose ends to tie up in that. The 740 has been sitting at Kilmarnock Engine Services since early November waiting on an engine strip down. I phoned just before Christmas to see if they had got to it and they said "not this side of the new year" so I went to get it to put a MoT on it. Ended up getting Covid so the test happened on Friday there and I took it back to them. I'm not NEEDING it so better it sits and waits for them to go through their backlog of work and it's there to as soon and they're ready. Anyways... as expected. Spotless: Since the trailer was occupying the lockup in Cumbernauld, FAITHER_df2k suggested clearing out his lockup and sticking the 205 in there with the bike. I didn't reckon the 205 AND the bike would go in but I suggested the trailer might seeing as a goodly amount of it's length is the front hitch. So a raid oot occurred today and it worked out a fuck tonne better than expected... The white wire hanging down is a battery maintenance solution I concocted for the bike. Being the (council) lockup isn't attached to the house, the only power is the lights at 27V AC. Can you get battery chargers that work off a 27V AC source? Ahahahahahaha. No. My solution... a bridge rectifier with some capacitors feeding a solar battery charger. The charger can maintain SLA, gell or lithium batteries and has 2 USB ports on the front too as a power source. IIRC the rectified 27V AC comes out at about 34V DC or about the same as a really big solar panel so the solar charger is quite happy.
