The wiring is/was a mess. I am almost done. I got the rear light and rear brake switch done and the rest I understand. It is just that on resistor, it must be fore the headlight. All I have left to hook up is the headlight and the front hyd brake switch. I broke the wires on the other one and bought one with a brembo thread.
I have brembo master and calipers but the junction block has Nissan threads.
One last question (for now).
I have a mini switch that I want to use for the start button.
With that white resistor or relay, can I use the small switch with thin wire safely? Or will I melt it?
The switch now uses a pretty heavy wire compared to the new switch.
See above. The thin wire is like 18 ga. The heavy black wire is to the existing switch. It goes to the Y on the white relay
You should be OK, but I'd test it just to be sure. You should be able to activate the relay by connecting directly to a battery. Use a multimeter to measure the current. Anything under 3A should be fine for 18 gauge.
Looks nice with the rear sets, I see there is plenty of room with the exhaust you have chosen. I have Lafranconi Competizione with a LM1000 middle section and there's no way I could run the linkage like you do. Really inspiring to follow this Guzzi!
Have not made huge progress that can be seen in pictures, I spent way too long figuring out the wiring. It was a huge mess, I am not finished, but close.
I also had some work to do on our normal street bikes. My wife and I went on a 3 day trip thru the mountains of West Virginia and Virginia over the weekend for our anniversary.
I did buy some mufflers and exhaust wrap that I have yet to get installed.
How do you use this type of hanger? I had these hangers on a old exhaust and I swear there was either a captive nut or a bolt behind it. I have no clue how I will tighten a nut there as I don't think a wrench will fit and the nut will have room to spin
Also, I am waiting on some wiring loom cover that I ordered. But anyone have an idea on what I can use to cover the bolts on the starter?
That is a always hot lead from the starter

A carriage bolt from the muffler side would probably work to attach to a bracket for hanging, or a square nut on the back side of the right size should prevent it from spinning as well. McMaster also sells these nifty channel nuts...

I have a issue with the tank.
The petcocks too close to the heads to turn them off. I can cut them, but it will make it hard to turn and I am worried about heat.
I wouldn't be worried about the heat, my petcock is just as close as your if not closer on a CX
But I would turn it a little to have better access to the petcock
