Bike's more or less done, haven't really had a spare moment to put the finishing touches on it. But that should change in the next few weeks. I just received the last part I was waiting on to finish it off. Thanks to my good friend. The test Video is below.
Let me know what you think.
*snip*
It's the standard trailer light that BCR uses in there seats. As you can see, it contains a Running light, Brake light, and signals.
HUGE thanks to Philip for building it for me!
More updates to follow in the next week or so.
emcarthu said:WOW! I remember finding pictures of this bike what seems like years ago (cleverly named btw). I think it's what really got me excited about building a cafe racer. I think we officially need a sticky with all the cb/cl 350 build. seems like there's to many to keep track of and there's a lot of good stuff in em' stuff for people like me that are building one.
Uniac said:I HATE LEDs! (not really they are too pretty to hate)
So it's been a really long time since I wired the bike(well worked on anything on it really), I was finally able to tackle the signals since I got the taillight back last week. The Flasher (electronic 5 pin, supposed to work with just LEDs) was pre-wired, just hook up the lights and give it a try. Nothing, weird, maybe it's resistance, so I hook up a 194 bulb. That does the trick, but it's buzzing like crazy, the LEDs are flashing so fast you can't see them, just hear the relay. So Philip comes over, we check the wiring, it all seems right.
After researching at work I pick-up grote relay specific for LEDs. 3 pin with external ground. Hook it up, NOTHING again, thinking It's got to be related to resistance, I hook up the 194 bulb again and they start flashing. Great, but wait this doesn't make sense the flasher relay is made for LEDs, it should work fine with just the tail light and bar ends. After some thinking and some research I find that the damn relay needs a 1amp draw to operate the coil on the flasher. Turns out that I was too efficient in my goal of using as little energy as possible and now have to wire resistors in-line anyway, atleast they'll be small.
So keep that in mind if you're going this route, or build yourself a LED timer circuit to avoid the problem all together!
Updated pictures and videos soon.

Bike keeps stalling because i was playing with the kill switch(very nervous having wired this from scratch)

Glad you got it running!
