Thanks for that but I bought the pihut one. Although the Brother does look good!

Another advantage of a carb conversion, a reserve fuel supply. Just saying....

Thanks RB, I’ll provide you with my PayPal account. Please deposit £500 and I’ll order the carb conversion and keep it in the shed as a back up. 
I’m bankrupt as I might be keeping my Transalp as well.

Nah, just do what Cranky did. I'm not surprised you're keeping your Transalp..........

With you blooming lot going on about oil pressure and buggered o rings, I’m not surprised I’m keeping my Transalp....
You’re scaring me to death!
Only kidding, I’m never changing the oil or taking off the rhs cover. I should be good for about 100,000 miles I think.....

Well, total price of £7.49, I got the Pihut one.
It had five counters, each one splittable; new word!
Biggest decision of my life, use three or four.... I had sleepless nights
actually I am sad as I did think about it for a while!
I chose four, then wondered how to mount it. I decided in the end to wrap it in some walnut I had. Ignore the one bad join, you’ll see why I gave up woodwork... I cut off the four circuit boards, glued the four sides, sanded and waxed the sides and then fitted four small button magnets underneath.
Very pleased and I can put it anywhere on the bike if I don’t want to mount it the on the handlebar mount.

I’ve been thinking about what else could be easily used as an easily set, mechanical trip mileage reminder.
I’ve just ordered a small, three digit combination, luggage lock. It can be clipped onto the bike, probably onto the clutch cable.

A genuine Smiths's Chronometric will still fit the casquette, you want one for panel mounting with a flanged bezel and vertical trip reset, ideally calibrated for the front tyre size you're using.

The lock cost £1.99p and will do the job. If it doesn’t work out I might use it as a luggage lock!
