Today was again bad weather and so I had little time

Throttle cable and clutch cable to small East German motorcycle throttle and clutch handle adapted

side license plate holder in stainless steel

license plate roughly cut

started cabling

 

[drewpy]

looking good, Menzi. will it be TUV approved when finished?

 

[Menzi58]

sure, otherwise the whole work would be for the cat as they say in Germany

 

[Menzi58]

I can do that ... oh broken

horn works... lol

 

[drewpy]

that's a start

 

[lhaolpa]

Nice bike,looking good and making progress.I bet you're anxious to get going! lha

 

[Menzi58]

so .. since my micro switch is smoked in the handlebars, apparently but the amp to the indicator to draw up, build me once all the crap in order to relay, ditto then the same for both high and low beam, and also for the horn, has the advantage that I also thinner cable circuit can be used.


have favorable micro-relay (mercedes) socketed with get hold of the i-net (4 € piece with the base) and here we go once to the solder and wire ..... blinker relay already have control, far too light .... just rewire the horn still ...

 

[drewpy]

good use of relays. cheap too I bet

 

[Menzi58]

front turn signal mounts are also ready, and the Cable-operated brake cylinder froma BMW flexed and adapted to the frame cross tube

 

[drewpy]

Brake Cylinder looks very familiar to me Menzie

 

[Menzi58]

I remember when you have it mounted under the tank, if I had seen before were my tank was tunneled differently. Unfortunately, now I need a long brake cable and a long brake line, what the hell ... i already bought a 140 cm long steel flex brake line for only € 25 and a brake fluid reservoir by a plastic sheep which will be mounted under the tank

 

[drewpy]

I got universal brake cable and cut it to fit. It works well

 

[Menzi58]

I can not decide .... either the Z-handlebar or the long riser with the inverted original handlebar, which will still be shortened so that it is only as wide as the valves ..

 

[Menzi58]

the side again today and then revised once an old Hella headlamps (which the people have to throw everything to the bulky waste) dedicated to ..... because the lens was not designed for high and low beams on and I'm within the Hella program find anything suitable, had now a 5 3/4 inch Bates headlight believe in it .. and see the reflector plate fits .....

 

[drewpy]

looks nice Menzie, prefer the Z bars

 

[isigt]

yep, I agree with drewpy.
The z-bars complement the bike better. nice looking build!

 

[Menzi58]

Cable finally get into the bar .... boah ..... But the Vespa retro handles are well reduced in the course of the handlebars or equal to 10 cm, only the mirror must have a smaller glass to be missed

 

[Menzi58]

It was once again in small steps further .... the homemade harness keeps it on longer than I thought, I can smell no more solder and am no longer burn the finger at the shrinking hose ... But now he works up to a few little things which I can depend only on the final assembly

paint set is finally finished ..... and half of the cable is now available in the handlebars ....
