The Fiddly Bits

 

Indicator wires drilled into headlight nacelle and sealed will rubber gromits  

Rear guard bracket again with rubber gromits in the guard to reduce stress on the fibre glass

Bracket bolted to frame, still to be trimmed to shape

Oh yeh the birds nest, don't panic I'm picking up new wire for a new loom this Wednesday at the electric car club. 

For interest here is association bumper sticker giving the wed address. Check it out I believe they have been going for nearly 30 years

Lower bracket for guard. My wife tells me I don't include enough distance shots of the bike or enough information when I update. So next update, in about a 4 days will include more distant shots of the bike and for information, well I'm more of  a visual kind of person. 

Begin the wiring up

  Charge plug fits nicely into fuel cap using standard Plumbing fixings, The cap hinges and makes a nice air/weather tight seal. For interest sake the tank's from a 1972/3 Honda CB 350 

4 "idiot" lights mounted in tank, from top, Blue-High Beam, Orange-Indicator, Green-On, Red-Charging. I have a micro switch which will open circuit the ignition circuit while charging. 

Bottom tray which will be riveted on and sealed with a silicon sealer as this area needs to be water tight to house the controller.   

Ear rings! no LED indicators 

 Office coming together

Perspex mounting board for the beginning of wiring, I hope it's as easy as the leg bone connects to the hip bone!

Just showing the earthing common connector and earthing wires to the frame.

The Big Red Button

 Although I have a kill switch on the handle bar switch block I'm still having the big red kill button. The back cover plate has been cut from an old metal storage shelf , it also has the ignition on/off switch fuse and the 8g inertia switch mounted on the other side  

 Here is the rear view of the mounting plate showing the main isolator "Big Red Button" the 8 to 20g inertia switch, ignition switch and fuse holder. The "On" cct. has it's own 12 volt power supply operating the main contractor for the traction cct.
