More Wiring!

I did the rest of the wiring that I could without the engine and ran all of the wires how I wanted them - that's about 95% of the wiring. I have no idea how the wires were originally  run, but I'm satisfied with the way it is.

I've updated the wiring diagrams to indicate the proper wire color (based on what I had available) and wire positions).  I'll post them when the bike is done.

The last step, once the engine is in, will be to wrap all the wire bundles in split braid loom.




I also tried a trick I heard about recently - hiding damaged chrome.  I rubbed a few spots (primarily the axles) with Rub-n-Buff Silver Leaf.  It basically fills the rusty pits in the chrome with a silver wax paste.  I've been told it should last a season, but we'll see.
