The April 2 session saw some more tangible progress for the bike project.
A "new to us" (used) exhaust system was sourced which works better with our cafe rear sets. It is a MAC 2-1 system. We will need to fabricate a muffler mount, but everything appears to work as it should.
Next we went about tacking more of the custom wiring harness.
Using a heat gun to heat-shrink tubing once connections have been made.
Soldering connections. Always nice to have a second pair of hands. Watch out where the melted flux falls, as it can be corrosive on painted surfaces.
Fitting proper battery terminal connections, as well as prepping the connectors that fit into the fuse box. Need to get everything water-tight!
Tail/running light.
Brake light. Whoo hoo!
To date, we now have working headlight, tail light, brake light, instrument light, and horn.
Next step is the turn signals, and finally the stator/rotor/alternator/ ignition system. Gotta get that spark!
Next cafe session is April 16.
