  Not according to that headstone in Uralla.. Or according to the museum in Uralla. But, I don't profess to be a Thunderbolt expert in any way. So it's entirely possible. It's like most of the bushrangers, so many possibilities and so many stories.

  I'd have a chat with an auto electrician to be safe mate, almost everything now runs through a CANBUS system and they don't like things not being the way they expect. My Africa Twin has an entirely separate wiring harness for all my accessories just so I can avoid that. (The problem would come with tapping in to the low beam/high beam switch over as getting that wrong could potentially fry the system, my auto electrician was petrified working on my bike, haha. But he worked it out in the end.)

  @@GlobalWalkabout So that is what I like, for the moment I ride a 1200GS and it's the torque of that machine at low RPM what I like the most of the engine. If I have the change I'll give it a try.

  @kimw200blaze44 ай бұрын

  The real reason they limit this bike to an top speed of 180 kmh is to preserve the charging distance of the battery. That is my understanding, compared to the other Engergica bikes, that can go an lot faster but are not designed for longer distance touring.

• 
  @GlobalWalkabout4 ай бұрын

  Indeed, that was my understanding as well. On top of that, I believe it extends the life expectancy of the motor.
