All is wired except for the taillight. The wires are there, just need to be connected. I cut down the tail piece today. I probably should have mocked that up with the light in it before starting to paint it, but oh well. I'm still having issues finding a good mounting spot for my ignition switch. I want it to be sort of hidden near the front of the battery compartment area, but easy to get at.

I threw some gas in the tank and started her up today. She idles more smoothly than ever. Apparently, I had my mixture screws 4 turns out for some reason. I backed them down to 2 turns, and ran the bike but couldn't keep it running without choke, so I moved them out to 3 turns and she runs beautifully!

I will post more pics of the wiring soon. :woohoo:

So I haven't quite completed the "cleanup" portion of the project (wire ties and cable clamps) because I still need to wire the taillight, but you can get the idea from these pics :)

Just about done here



Will clean this up to be pretty real soon. The one unused fuse spot will be for my turn signals when I get them.



Looks SO MUCH BETTER...and still not quite done ;)



Need to cleanup this



DONE HERE!
