Pics or it didn't happen lol

 

[Maritime]

Plus this is what the gimp leg looks like after 10 hours of work etc.

 

[cxman]

it happened you should see the pile of leftovers lol

 

[Maritime]

Ha. I have the same pile of fairing bags and busted parts

[Maritime]

Doesn't look like much, but all the ignition circuits, coils and fan are connected up. Next everything else out of the black box.

 

[Maritime]

I'll wrap and zip tie it all up when done as well.

 

[Tune-A-Fish]

Good plan

 

[Maritime]

TO DO:
Wiring - all systems, new gauge, required lights to be legal. Coils, fan and starter system done just lights, speedo and tach left now.
Brakes - Front bled, rear checked, new rear line can wait.
Choke mounted and lubed.
Seat - GL1100 pan modded to fit 1000, foam carved, some kind of cover - OK got the leather at least for this
rear fender - mounted
Rear lights - tail and turns mounted, may need to use leftovers temp for now.
Make bracket for heal toe and mount.
Finish sand and paint the housing I made for gauge.
Mirrors, need to figure out a mount, the new master and clutch perch do not have threads/mounts

list is getting shorter. Some of this will take me no time at all, some may be tight. Got to be ready to ride safely July 8 at 7 am!

Tags?

 

[Maritime]

you mean plate and registration? I got my plate, it survived the crash and I can register it online and tags come in the mail, i can run with the paperwork. I should call and add insurance back on too.

 

[Maritime]

I think this is the colour I am going to use. I'll do a base coat of silver, then this, then 2K clear. Need to decide if any stripes will be done.

 

[DreadRock]

Didn't see or I missed it but are putting a small fairing up front ?

 

[Maritime]

Don't have one but I will likely steal the on off the cx for the ride

 

[Maritime]

I got some more wires done. Nothing pic worthy yet. Got interrupted a bunch so stopped for the night. Once I run some grounds I can power up the circuits I have and see how they look.

 

[Maritime]

Look at this mess. Man I need to get this shit wrapped and tucked away. Left to do is the speed sensor, tach, and rear lights, tail, stop and turns. Used 3 circuits out of he fb11 so far and it is really straight forward. Like it so far.

 

[Maritime]

None of my indicator lights work on the gauge. It powers up fine but when I hit high beam or signals they don't light and they are hooked up correctly and power is there. Anyone else ever use one of these? Instructions are shit that came with it. I need to hit Google.

 

[Maritime]

Ok permanently fit fender seat on and donated lights. Not exactly what final will be but will get me riding.

 

[Maritime]

So the 35$ headlight had some issues the plug came wired with low as high and high as ground so it lit all funny and made the high beam indicator always on. I decided to compare it to mother Hondas and found the problems cut China connector, put Honda, boom proper headlights. Also sorted the gauge indicator issue. They don't tell you but one power wire is 12 v always on and one is ignition. So thanks to Matt's (Spark moto) fancy board I ran the 12v always on out to the gauge and connected the ignition switch power and it now works. Need to figure out where to put speed sensor and magnet, then which wire for the tach, wire in tails and it's ready for brake bleed fluids and a test ride! Fuck yeah!
