Congrats - I look forward to seeing you on the road! Yes the light switch is purposely locked. Yes - I haven't been able to unscrew the oil filler yet. No there is nothing electronicsy to play with. Yes I had a couple of mystery no start moments. Just stop fiddling with it and get those 300 miles running-in miles over so at least you can keep up with 125s on dual carriageways!The factory does have some button top left/right screws - I've seen 'em and they promised me some. In the meanwhile I turned the thread off a right hand screw, drilled a piece of left hand threaded rod and shaft locked it onto the screw.Have you got it ground anchored into your garage? A friend lost his Thruxton from his garage the other day. Really important.And be careful - the paint has faded a little on the one side where I have been sitting and staring that beautiful beautiful bike too much........PS I fitted Halcyon bar end mirrors - IMHO they are hugely better than the Norton offering. They look great, are a decent size and flip out the way for parking and traffic dodging. Just get someone to turn the bar end fixing to a close fit in the bars.
