I ran into a little set back with the wire harness that I thought was for a 77 C1 turned out to be wrong. I found another one and while I made this hugger fit. I love the miracles of modern science. Without it I wouldn't be able to move the chain passage over about an inch so it will work on my bike. It looks like it will work pretty good.

Has it really been 3 years since the wreck? Great job on bringing it back to life. Very impressive & it was great seeing a lot of "long timers" checking in.

Yeah Bill, time flies and it is cool to hear from some of the old bunch.In Sept. it's going to be 4 years, damm. Anyway I bent up a licence plate holder to mount the plate just below the tail light. For a licence plate light I drilled a pair of holes on the bottom of the light right under the bulbs. I glued in a couple of clear pieces of plastic to fill the holes.

I bent up a little more metal. This time to keep from seeing the battery box. I still have to paint it to match the frame. In the future I make another one from aluminum and polish it. I also welded a tab for the brake reservoir and a channel to the front of the box to mount the rectifier as there's no room under the box now.

Beautiful work...are those passenger pegs ZRX?

Trying to get all the pits and pieces finished up. I made a oil cooler bracket today from a bed rail off a Toyota pick up. It was a U channel that I cut the side off of and welded it up. It bolts on where the horn was mounted, I use my Yoshimura horn now.

Badkaw I can't remember what their off of. The fronts and backs are from two different kinds of bike, I just put the same pegs as the rear on the front. I also cut an exhaust mount off the right rear peg mount.

I wired up my tail light today. I split the brake wire then put a diode on each wire and a diode on each turn lead then connected a brake wire with each turn lead then to the bulb. I well not have a rear blinker when the brake is on but I can live with that.

Wow, that puppy sure is bright!


Now if that tail light I won on eBay (thanks for the heads up on it, Mark!) will finally show up, I'll be all set too. :woohoo:

get a trailer wiring adaptor from autozone then the turn will work with the brake too. ill have to check mine to see the part number. and youll need an electronic flasher relay. it works beautiful on mine

I was kind of thinking (and dang it if that didn't hurt my head!:pinch:...lol!) along the same lines, especially since I recently installed one on my Trooper.

I bought an identical tail light for my 650 that Mark has for his 650, and would love to be able to integrate the rear signals rather than run a set of signals that look like curb feelers. :S

Part numbers man! We need part numbers! :woohoo:
