I decided to do away with the tacho, voltmeter and idiot lights in the the top yolk and simplified it, mostly for wiring. So all I have up there now is a speedo, looks a lot better I think. I'll mount a couple of idiot lights in the headlight bucket.
The voltmeter has been moved to a position below the side panels. I'll either wire it to the brake light switch or to the battery via a toggle switch.
I taped up a couple of harnesses a while back. Rather than one harness, I went with two: One for ignition with a cable for neutral, the other for lighting. Simplifies fault finding and I don't have a great, thick, bundle of wires snaking their way all over the bike. I designed a simplified system, only four cables in the ignition harness, including the neutral cable, and six in the lighting harness, although I might delete the neutral light cable, can't see any reason for that or the tacho to be honest. Still have to neaten it up a little, looks a bit raggedy at the moment.
I'm scraping the bottom of the work barrel now, trying to dream up other fabricating or machining jobs before I finish off the wiring and brakes. Then all I'll have to do is fit tyres and mufflers. Don't really want to finish, what the hell will I do then???
