Brute:
Bagged the crotch rocket fender and cut the original to the same length from the mount holes to the end as the rear part of the fender is. Made a template off of the end of the front part of the fender and used that to cut the end off so to give it the same profile as the original.
Also routed wires and drilled some holes to route them where I wanted them to go. Ended up cutting the 'custom' harness to make it fit better so will solder and shrink wrap the sections I will use back on. No pics this time.
First time I have actually attached the headlight unit where I want it to go. I think it will look good. Repaired the broken turn signal as well. Making progress!

Motorrad:
Awesome.  Moving right along.  It's closer to running than mine  :roll:

Brute:
Got more wiring done today. Hooked up the battery and checked out the lights. Turn Signals, tail and brake lights all light up like they are supposed too. Tying and wrapping things up. Have to make some brackets for the flasher unit, and horn. Also need to install the pressure switches on the brake lines and run another wire for the front switch. Headlight and speedo will be last to install but I am still a ways away from that. Forgot that I had a 15 tooth front sprocket to put on until I found it in the bottom of the box of parts! Oops! Moving along!

Brute:
Dang this wiring and street crap is taking forever!
Had a bunch of stuff going on plus cataract surgery on my left eye. Still moving along though. Here are a couple of views of where it is at. Side and front. Very close to getting it checked out for the plate. Got a weird thing going on though. The LED flasher does not seem to like the battery going below 12.9 volts or it will not operate. Even stuck a 2 amp charger on it then turned on lights to bring it below that and it would work intermittently. All soldered connections. Used the wiring that came with the unit. Seems to be heavy enough wiring. May try a jumper to put an extra battery wire to the switch to see if that works. Always something or nothing at all.  :?

sandblaster:
I hate wiring.
It was the hardest thing to do for me.
And it's still not right.
But it works good enough for now.
