Tail lights/turn signals are mounted. I'm not too keen on how the wiring is run on these for how I want to mount them, so I may drill out the threads and reroute the wires. Shocks are also mounted.
So the work begins installing my new Sparck Moto wiring harness. It's also time to get final components installed.
I searched and searched for a front turn signal style that I liked, or one that seemed to fit the style of the fairing.
Nothing really worked, and the post style that most motorcycles use wasn't gonna fly.
On my CB360, I modified a 67 Mercury Cougar turn signal to use as a tail light here:
I like the design, so I thought I would copy it for the XL. I don't have a lathe or mill,
so machining had to be done with a drill press and these here hands...
As soon as the rubber cures on the backside, I'll finish the aluminum with a polish.
Thanks, guys. One thing to note: it's better to cut 1.25" holes before paint, not after. (duh!) I hadn't resolved this until now, so I didn't have much choice. But, I came really close to fucking the paint up royally. I did put two gouges in the paint on the right side that I had to touch up. I used a 1 1/8" stepper bit, then a burr bit to bring it out to 1 1/4". This is why I can't have nice things...
i love it the whole thing :-* its mahvelous ;D
you should consider some wider pegs like off a more modern dirtbike they really make a diff in feel and confidence when standing on the pegs
or you can just and a third cleat off the back,leave it so the center is slighter higher for a rocker effect
