    Old school indicator conversion

    I would like to get some info on how to convert the indicators to the same system as in your old cars, where the indicating lights burn like park lights(creating more visibility) and as soon as you indicate that particular light just blinks. Is it a particular relay only, or is it wiring as well?

    Drive chain tensioner?

    So we have cam chain, balancer chain tensioners. Why not have one on the drive chain as well? Won't it prolong the life of the chain if it is under a controlled tention all the time, instead of bouncing and pulling as the suspension moves?

    What would the recommended weight be that one could load into panniers. That would be panniers that's going to be bolted to frame. I know top boxes range from 5-10kg. Keeping in mind no pillion.
