Completely re-built the wiring loom today! I love doing this, it's probably my favourite part of a re-build, just something satifying about creating one, from that jumble that is a wiring diagram!  Got some filler on the tank too! A quick question though. I've got some different bars on their way to me, but need to drill some holes in them! Any tips on trying to drill holes in a curved stainless steel surface? (I have no drill press) Clive |

You only need to stop the drillbit from slipping, a couple of layers of masking tape (if you have any  ) will allow the bit to grip |

Made some progress this morning with the bike! Coils back on, front brake caliper, rear brake pedals, kick start, headlight casing, speedo cable, and then..................
offered up the exhaust, went to put the collars on the bolts, and they needed some 'persuasion', realised, I then needed to take them back off as they weren't sat quite straight, and they're stuck fast!! There's not enough room to get behind them to give them the same persuasion back off!!!!
Any ideas as to how I'm can get these back off??

Thanks buddy Had a productive day today!! New handlebars were drilled, re-wired, and mounted on the bike! That then meant I could re-fit the headlight and re-connect all the wiring! Couldn't resist then connecting a spare battery I had kicking about and checking all was good.............................and it was!!!! Even the high beam indicator that I'd put on the headlight cowl (can be seen in the pics between the dials) Chuffed to ****!!! Was slightly confused at first when the main beam, high beam, horn worked on the first click round on the ignition, but not the side, or tail light. These worked on the second click, but not the ones that worked before  Now realise, and I hope I'm right and stand to be corrected if need be, that the side light and tail light are on permanently when the bike is running, and the rest then take their power from the charging system!! Really not much left now, mainly bodywork and paint (tank, front mudguard). Still need to get a clutch cable, throttle cable, battery, banjo bolt pressure switch, and wait for my seat to arrive!!!!

Cheers buddy, although I'm sorted for handlebars for this build, you can never have too many handlebars!!! Did a bit more investigating on the lights thing. The second click is definitely a 'park' position as the key can be removed. I reckon, when the engine/alternator kick in, the side/tail lights will then work!?!?! Only time will tell!! Clive |

Right, studied the wiring diagram, and switch diagrams long and hard, and reckon it's okay! Will give it another go with the new battery, which should be here by the time we get back from Berlin on Sunday!!
