Been a while, poor weather and worse health slow me down. But don't stop me!
Put the pics up in a bunch in case some were bad.
Third and fourth are the instrument panel I have been making, put a block of sapele through the band saw so I have enough to do end and sides to keep the rain out. My original panel had been broken and the handlebar starter switch had disintegrated. Lifted the fuel gauge off the faux tank top, don't seem to have the block of 3 clocks most GL1000s came with. The leds came without tails or markings so with some good help from NGW I tested them with a low voltage supply and found out which way to wire the tails and earths. They do work, and each tail has a crimped connector. I wired the earths to the choc block to take just one earth tail off.
First pic is the modified air receiver to fuel tank. I have taken a brave pill and will attempt again to give it a vynil wrap. Last time I tried it just wasn't good enough so I've bought some more expensive wrap this time won't try any complex curves, I shall leave the ends black.
Second pic shows the battery strapped down and most of the electrical components housed. You can also see the modified gear lever, I've moved the lower link up a bit to give a better address to the gear crank and reduced the lever throw a little. The foot boards are bolted down so I have been able to temporarily replace the saddle and checked the fit. Feels good, really good!
The ignition leads are now made up and I will fit them next. Still have the tank and fuel line to connect but at least it's in. Then I have to tidy up the rats nest of wires, add oil water, plugs and petrol and it might run. Oh, and fit the points.
Doing a fair bit of trike work in the house now because of the weather which helps move things along.
