Most of my time this month has been spent on
wiring. Since this isn't something I've had any experience
with, I've relied on a lot of help. I'm hoping to finish
this part up in early January, and get the engine started as
soon as possible.
Other than the things detailed below, I've
installed the rest of the harnesses, and spent quite a bit of
time trimming off circuits I don't need, and identifying all the
wires I do need.
Sure hope this baby doesn't catch fire when I
try to turn the key.

Started the month off by getting the side pipes
mounted. Getting some of the bolts one was a bit of a tight fit, but having a few
extra hands helped out. |
|
I opened the Autometer Ultra-Lites and
put them in the dash. Mostly to see what they'd look like,
but also to get them ready to get wired. |

I decided to mount the computer up behind
the dash. This would hide the big bundle of wires better,
but requires making of a bracket to hold it in
place. I used some extra aluminum I had. It seems just a bit too flexible, but it should
hold. If not, I'll make a stronger one. |
|
I used a Painless Dash Harness to wire up
all the gauges. I probably could have made one up myself,
but this little kit came with everything needed, and wired up
pretty easy. It was one gauge short, but I jumped a few
wires and it's all done. |

I should have some
better pictures to show next month. With luck, I'll even
have a short video of the engine startup. |
Check back for updates
