More Wiring

With the signals working, the next step was to try to clean up the wiring a bit more. 

With some fiddling with wires, we were able to produce a spark, so at least all of the ignition components are in working order.  Next we need to ensure the switches work as they should.

 The next step was fabricating a proper muffler mounting strap.  A fairly straightforward process, but it did require some accurate measuring and drilling to make sure the two mounting bolts lined up properly.
Next we began the process of fitting the front seat mounting studs.  Like the rear battery tray, we are going to weld in some shouldered m6 nuts into the frame rails, and then fix the front end of the seat in place.  The holes were drilled and the nuts put in place; Mr. S will come in on another day and do the welding.






Finishing the wiring will be the next step.  Tedious, and in fact Mr. Sheppard came in on his own a couple of evenings to work on things.  Really, at times a one-person job due to the cramped nature of the bike.
