Today was spent cleaning up the existing wiring on the handlebars, dash, alternator, and ignition. Everything cut back to clean wire, new crimped bullet connectors.
I'm glad I decided on the full overhaul and new-wire harness. Much of the wire on this bike is oxidized as far as 2" or more into the insulation. That insulation is brittle and crumbly.
Stepped out of my comfort zone a little fabricating the mounting plates for the reg and rect and the lighting relays. Simple aluminium plates with a few holes, but still.
Picked up some stainless hardware at the new-to-me local Ace Hardware. They had Tannery in stock! Wires and seat look great, thanks 5twins!
Long day of work tomorrow. Thursday and Friday might be the long run to the finish line. Expecting wire, fuses, and heatsink compound in the mail by Friday. Hope so.
