We got the rear signals installed and partially wired. I used some brass fittings to clean up the look at the back, a little Shoe Goo held that in place. Awesome stuff, thanks for the tip Mr.G.
Mr. G confirmed my issue with the battery box. Here is my redesigned box.
Sorry Mr. G, no more anonymity.
The handlebars went on along with the levers and grips. The cables got connected correctly the first time, that's 'cause I didn't do it.
Mr. G showed up in an official pit shirt... close enough. We later wondered why Ski-Doo pit crews wear short sleeved shirts?
Mr. Double J and Mr. G tackled the electrical. I have no clue or patience when it comes to that stuff. Thankfully these two have plenty of both.
Some of the wiring is custom made.
At one point we managed to release a little Japanese smoke, Mr. G was ready though, just in case.
Remember the spaghetti I had in the headlamp bucket? It's back with a vengeance. Mr. Double J was happy I labeled all the connectors. He'd have been happier had I labeled them all correctly. I had a couple labels that didn't make sense.
But...
... in the end, tee hee, the bike had front signals and the headlamp works.
We still have to figure the running lights and the LED blinkers.
The cooling system is back in,
and the exhaust is mounted. It will come off again to get wrapped but the dry fit confirms all is well.
We test fitted the tank and seat to see what room we had underneath and it looked good.
Hey, that's starting to look like a custom motorcycle.
I swing a leg over to check out the riding position.
It feels good.
Mr. G approves.
Overall a very productive day. We are that much closer to finishing our first custom Cafe Racer.
