Signals next

We snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.  After spending most of the session flicking the turn signal off and on, we came to the conclusion that the turn signal relay was not the right type for our application.  We got a "click" out of the relay, but no lights.  Not knowing a lot about relays, we guessed that there might be too much resistance in the relay unit, and decided to try something different. 

While Mr. Sheppard rooted around the boxes of spares for another relay, the tailight mounting bracket was modified to accept the turn signals.

With the signals then mounted in the bracket, and everything re-attached with the replacement relay (over 40 years old), we got ready to test again.  Note the size of the turn signals.  These are DOT approved.  Yes, very large, but we don't want any hassle when we go to get the bike saftied.  The new owner may swap them out for something smaller...

Left.... got it!

And the right one works as well!  Next up, ignition system.  We will search for that elusive spark, and then go about properly bundling and connecting the wires in the harness.
