Thank you! Everything should fall in place as it does on the '83, since that is the battery box and wiring I intend to use.

Freshly painted tins should provide some motivation.
Ooooh……….yeah it will! 
That blue grew on me a little over time, but was still kinda sketchy about how it would look on the bike. I'm sold now... looks great!!
... also like the black covers. Has a bit of a Bonnie vibe to it.
... now get back to work.

Which one Blue is that the Color It can actually work ...In that concept. Looks darker than I remember..
Was it expensive .. painting
I wanted color and I wanted something subtle. That color is very attractive to me. I have a friend who deals paint in Alabama and IIRC, he quoted me $60 for a pint of Calvary Blue (Toyota). It only goes up from there. Add to that, most shops don't want to do a little job like mine as it's too much work for too little money. End of story is that it can be very expensive. I expect it's the same story in Sweden. You need someone specializing in small jobs.

9 yo grandson Tucker stripped it for me.
I wish he didn't live so far away. This was fun for both of us! He works with very little direction and even puts tools away.

I'm not too sure about leaving that tab on there. It mounted the flasher. The '83 has a different location. I reckon bending it is an option.
I have the '83 battery box going on and all of the '83 electrical/wiring. I don't recall where the flasher is mounted. It never failed on the other bike.
Post 150, a pic of where my 83 flasher relay is/was

some accel coil mounts
Got it. Thanks!
This picture in the IPC is deceptive, as it appears #1 and #12 (flasher and canceller) are mounted on the battery box.
As @650Skull posted, my SK has the flasher and canceller on either side of the coil.
I assume that if I'm not going to have a self cancel with the turn signals, I won't require the canceller unit. That will leave the tab forward of the coil for the no load flasher, or so I believe. I may bend the flasher tab out of the way rather than cut it off. I haven't quite decided.
I still think this is the best spot for the keyed switch.
Do any of you have experience that says this is a mistake? Alternative below .
Don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Go for it.
Looks nice but how about theft protection ?
The pins looks open at the back of the lock ( Second Picture from top ) and the " Bad People " in this world
Perhaps can hot wire it there faster than use the Key
Apologize if it is something I have missed
