Well I will be starting on Trixie's makeover next week, starting with a new C5 ignition, then a single carb conversion and LED swap out. The paint will probably have to wait a bit, I'll post pictures along the way!

I got the new coils mounted just to see that I put the plug on the wrong side :swoon: so now after dinner I get to pull the coils again and fix the mounting :headbang:

Oh, while I had the shelter off I replace my blinker relay with an LED friendly one! [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

It sounds better, but there is still a bit of a stumble. Can't wait to hear it with the SCC. opcorn:

Nice work on the C5! BUT, that stumble you hear is most likely from needing your carbs synced.

Ok, I got the wires trimmed up and looking good!
If you think this project is over your head, think again! While I have been wrenching on bikes for a very long time, I have never messed with much electrical stuff on a bike. As long as you follow the instructions, you should be able to do this! All said I probably have about 4-5 hours in this from panel removal to reassembly.
