managed to strip down the wiring in the neck area a bit
this is what i managed to take off
and here's what it looks like now
this has lighting, speedo, and starter, no blinkers yet, they'll be added once the build is further along
Swapped the way too heavy ignition for a nice and small honda mb50 ignition like this one:
wiring seemed easy... tore out the looping black/red wire, which left only 4 wires... took some figuring out which wires got connected upon turning ignition on, but in the end managed to get everything turned off on OFF and everything working on ON using only 2 of the cables of the mb50 ignition
The new ignition is dangling down from the 3 wires you can see but it will obviously be relocated
All connections are soldered, except for the ones I'll need to take of in the near future
Lighting is always on, no more far beam. Blinkers will be added later on once I'm (nearly) done. No more kill switch either. Gonna keep the starter though, haven't quite gotten the hang of kickstarting yet
So what's next? Hopefully I'll be making a start on a seat soon, and I need to figure something out in terms of a fake oil tank... Also gonna need to find a nice and small starter button but that shouldn't be a problem... will be relocating the speedo to a more centered position compared to the upper yoke, and need to make a nice rear fender construction
the fender is waiting impatiently!
