Only thing I remember forward of the flasher is the turn signal canceling unit. Is it a rectangular box... plastic?
Starter cutout should be on the battery box.

I love the look and stance of this; and would not change much.
Keep it simple, clean and uncluttered for the build. Sort of flat track but not pure replica.
Can't wait to see the progress.
That is the plan. Thanks.
What you’re looking at is the 79 bike and the 83 wiring harness.
The 83 frame does not have the tabs to mount the two components shown. I believe those to be the signal flasher and cancel. A dual output coil has to go there. I haven’t looked at what the canceler is for. I’m looking for confirmation that those tabs get cut off.
The component resting on the points, I don’t know what it is. ???
When the time comes to assemble this bike, I will open up my SK as a guide. I believe I prefer to be rid of useless tabs that could cause conflict. By the same token, I’ll need a place for each necessary component. As always, your input is welcome.
For the flasher can, I included a tab on my coil mounting bracket. This moved it farther back and out of the way of the new coil .....
Judging by the wire colors, that component sitting on the points housing might be the new version of the flasher.
For the canceling unit, I simply bent it's mount tab up. This moved it and nicely tucked it into the steering neck area .....
You want simple, it doesn't get much simpler, lol.

My humble view is that cutting of things should be avoided and used as a last option
Depending on what electronics shall be used in the future those extra hardware / tabs can be of good use clamping what now comes in the future
I also have the flasher holder tab . But I have moved the relay forward and fastened the Boyer Bransden ignition box with padding in that tab.
I Have some rubber mat with rectangular holes in it wrapped around the box and then it is good to have the tabs to fixate the box
Zip Tie
There can also be use in holding the harness up

OK, so I’ll mount a coil and make sure it all fits.
My Canadian 83 wiring loom is 5V4-82590-50.
Canadian Code is 5V5-03**** for the 83. Looks like they used the US code on all of bike looms, (same loom), for 82/83 in the US and Canada

Only thing i can see on the diagram with 3 wires, one brown, one Brown/white and one Yellow/green is the flasher relay.........the browm/white on the diagram could he brown in the loom where it is exposed but joins to a B/W somewhere
My 83. Cant quite make out all the wire colours on the Relay
Well, that explains where it goes. I’m going to be using a no load flasher and I expect it will be smaller. Thanks!
I got over an important hurdle yesterday. That was making it legal in Mississippi. You may recall I had no paperwork for this bike. My neighbor works in insurance and she got me a title bond. That, a notarized bill of sale, and a notarized affidavit of ownership got me a tag and a title. The grand total was $168 and ten minutes. The tag is antique classification and exempt from tax and expiration. So, now I can get to work in earnest.
Take it to the "Let ride" thread!

It's certainly not ready to ride. Everything is left to do.
What are the pitfalls of mounting an ignition switch in the amber circle area? Any?
This and this?

Are you planning on using the switches start function or leaving the start button on the handlebars?
I think that would be a good place for it then. Was concerned about trying to start it with throttle and switch both on the right side... requiring 2 right hands.
My biggest concern is interference with something I haven't thought of, and comments like yours bring up what I didn't think of. I need to tuck it in far enough to make sure it doesn't get kicked. I need to figure it out before I take it apart and paint or powder.I think that would be a good place for it then.
