well here it is... got some more of the wiring done last night...still more to go..
switch plate (on/off) and starter button




plans for the rest of the wiring

 

Haha I think I remember you talking about how you wanted to ride it for your birthday like 8 months ago right? Well she is finallly getting there. Hows the married life?

 

so... last night i took a deep breath and stated on my wiring... i went slow, used the diagram i drew up... and the primary harness went pretty smooth! i got the on off switch wired in, the tail lights and brake lights, the front brake sliced into the brake light so that lights up the tail lights as well, guages all wired in, headlight wired in and bright switch added in there... did not get to try and kick it over as my starter button, one of the terminal snapped off! lame... ooh well... just got to wire in the charging system and it should be good to fire... we will see... may have to recuit some 1/2 fast help from Danny on that part! getting closer, maybe i will be riding before snow fall!

 

she is wired up! got elect start working, n light wired in, charging system, lights... the whole shabang! Tested and have spark at both plugs... tomorrow night i will add some fuel, and get her fired up for the first time in a year... after that, balance out the carbs, check the jetting (short shot style pipes with V stacks on the carbs)
got to take the wife for a bite to eat... ill snap a few pics when i get home

 

Waiting...not very patiently!

 

OK LOTS OF PICTURES so beware!
got a TON done this weekend, i was back to my old self... ha ha ha! anyway,

got the wiring buttoned up, side covers painted, N light tapped in and working... oil pressure light i decided not to wire but left the wire open if i want to later. ready to FIRE!

Since i polised the cases i have not filled in the lettering in them... i took some touch up paint, and used a paper towel, and was able to get the cases filled in, the trim rings and letters all blacked out and looking clean, Used some denature alchole to get all the old polish compounds out, then after it was in there just went arund the edges with the paper towel wrapped in 1 layer tight around my finger...super easy and take not time to look clean!

Case #1
