A damp weekend at wiring, kinda
My odometer is telling me I have done over 70km/45miles of riding in my backyard.
Before I overdo it and break something I think its time to finish the electrics and get the bike ready for a roadworthy inspection and hopefully a certificate pass... Before I make all the permanent connections I am just going over to make sure all the switch gear and continuity is in check. So far it appears the brakes, indicators and head lights are in order. Then while in the garage I saw the the XL350 fuel tank being irksome. So I decided to make a executive decision and use a selection of persuaders. The main issue with the tank was the seat clearance and eye level with the tank fouling with the top fork clamp nuts, so something had to give and it was decided to index dent the tank to clear the clamp bolt heads. The tank was already dented so adding a couple more wasn't going to hurt it. 1000 taps later I think i managed enough allowance for now. It's rough but now has legitimate use potential later on... Anyway back to wiring... |
