You sure that's paint stripper? Looks like shaving foam to me. Wouldn't want to get the 2 mixed up!
I like the ignition switch mount -never thought of fitting it like that. I've always mounted mine in the side of an electrics box, but that would be useable anywhere on the frame. I assume you're going to cover the open top at least? Have you got room on the back of the switch for the wiring terminals?
I kinda liked the original white paint as it's not a common colour for bikes or trikes.

as for the "white " paint ,it was beige just maybe didn't show up in the pics

The top of the switch bracket is covered by the fuel tank also I'll be using angled terminals for the switch,the paint was entirely my idea I wanted something totally different thought about an urban camo pattern but these either look right or wrong there's no middle ground.So this started as me painting half of a rear guard to see what it looked like and I liked it so we got carried away and did everything.A mates going to lacquer everything for me to get a nice deep shine.Anyhow beige reminds me of allegros and my grandads old morris ital.
