• Fit the throttle and new throttle cables to the carbs.
• Completed wiring the improved wiring to the headlight.
• Completed wiring the new front turn signals. In addition to the positive feed to each turn signal, I ran an additional ground wire from each turn signal to one of the two main grounding points on my frame. It took me quite some time to determine that I needed to do this as one turn signal worked without any need for an additional ground while the other did not. I fiddled with the turn signal and already rebuilt switch gear and found no problem. Then I stumbled on the grounding problem and the rest was easy. By the way, I am very pleased with how I've run my grounding points. It has made things much simpler.
• Attempted to mount a spare new clutch cable without a switch, but discovered it was too short. Reverted to the original clutch cable.
