bright eyes

finally I found real good chrome rings to mount my H4 headlights. The Bilux headlights which were mounted before, equipped with H4 sockets were o.k. - but a real good brand new H4 headlight is a different story.


Talking 'bout story, I bought the rings from an ebay auction together with "brand new H4 VW light units". Unfortunaltely the units were only Bilux style as well, the seller found the BOSCH boxes and the manual how to install the H4 inserts. But in the boxes were the only the replaced Bilux ones, which the seller wasn't aware of. He already offered to send some money back, which is fine for me. I already had brand new H4 units in the garage anyway, waiting for a nice set of 1-hole rings. Now I have the new H4 units together with the new rings mounted. Even if there is no big difference in looks (only 1 hole instead of 3 holes on the rings) - the light beam is so much brighter!

Radio Gaga

During my first rides I noticed something was missing...
The sound of an aircooled engine is nice, but a little music is also not too bad.
So I ordered a real cool radio console from Dirk, yet another aircooled freak with not 1 but 2 squarebacks...
Look:

    If you would also like to have such a nice console, contact Dirk here:

A picture of the radio in the dashboard will follow soon!
