2009 November 07: Wiring and rear turn signals (3.00 hours)

Updated: 

  • Tidied up the rest of the wiring harness.
  • Did the final mounting of the rectifier. Ran a ground wire directly from the ground side.
  • Built a set of relays and heavy gauge wires for powering the headlight directly from the battery. This will yield maximum power delivered to the headlight and drastically increased switch life.
  • Angela looked over a number of turn signals I had thought about using. In the end, she thought I should stick with the original turn signals - indicating they looked the best with the overall design of the bike. So, I cleaned up the rear turn signals and mounted them. I'll need to find source some front turn signals and mounts.
  • Hooked up the battery again and tested the function of the wiring harness.
