no need to buy a new indicator housing, just take it off, let it dry then stick it back on... easy :)

To be honest, I don't think alot does. I've got condensation on one of mine, and whenever I put a new one in it just steams right back up again. I dunno how to fix it apart from just changing them over everyday few days.

Alex has sealed LED ones tohugh, so they're different

Aye. Its a nice thought, but these are sealed units, so its gonna have to be replaced by Awesome under warranty!

Nah. I think collinite will work well enough for now. I might look down that road once I have everything else up to scratch.

The clutch has developed a dreadful squeek, coming from the pedals, so its going in to have that fixed under warranty. I think the cable is getting jammed for some wierd reason
