Did some work...
Used masking tape and cardboard to box in my subframe to make a tray for the ECU and battery out of fiberglass... total hack job: Turned out way better than expected - first fiberglass anything: I'm going to fill the gaps in on the sides with AL sheet, so you won't see how ugly it is... Also extended five wires in the wiring harness about 18 inches, to allow for the gauge cluster mounting I want... Here it is set up, but it'll be up on the tank a bit more and the angle is off... it's just resting there: Couldn't resist snapping some shots of her all mocked up: |

Looks like it wants to be rocked. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Got out of work early... Did some work... Finalized the wiring runs and mapped out my exhaust hangers... Sorta figured out how I'm gonna mount the gauges.
So, I've come to the conclusion that wiring and running wires can suck my sweaty asshole... It took me FOREVER to figure out how to run everything so it wouldn't pinch or rub or burn and shit... Still not convinced I didn't fuck it up... I'm sure I'll find out a hundred or so miles from home. I get it now... Why all the streetfighter guys start with old bikes... carbs... Air cooled... My next build... If I live through this one... Is certainly going to be something older and less electronically dependant. |

Yeah, it's crazy the stupid amount of wiring in a modern motorcycle...
