Winter rebuild #1

[Eveready1100]

I'll have a punt on the identity of the mystery box in the red circle as a headlight relay. Remember, some of these had a feature that the headlight wouldn't energise until the motor was started, and the relay was activated from one of the alternator wires

I m Green with Envy Mayte.....you mean to say........your creation will be immune to faults ?
I gotta start rippin shite off my bike that's had minor faults aside from wear and tear over the last 37 yrs 

[BrettS]

Haha, I would say I am taking the bull by the horns. Simple new fresh, then I don't have any problems.
That is the plan anyway.

Brett.....for a guy who does nt like electrical problems or playing with electrics..................you sure are "Pokin the Bear".

[BrettS]

Hmm, seems no one knows what the other thing is Jonesy, My guess is it was to do with items from the dash that I already removed as it only has one out of 6 wires still left attached lol.

I would be interested to see that vid Geoff, but I believe my mind is made up and will be trying out the pods. Recent reading tells me for some it just works, not sure why. Mine seems to work well with air box removed.

You should hit the FF button on the vid lol

that blinker sure is bright, lot of crap to endure just to see though,,

Ev and I were talking about making a video on how to remove the carbs from the airbox easily just last w/end

[Jonesy :-)]

Nah not sure what the other thing in red circle is without looking at schematic. witht the cut out switch removal you'll probly have to do some fancy bypass wiring and I'm sure Jeff could advise on that one.

[BrettS]

Ok Thanks, Do you know what is on the left in the red circle. It only has one wire left so I gather nothing I need?

Considering this double garage is our only storage at the moment it is not to bad. I think I can take up this space for Winter without too much interruption. Is defiantly better than the back veranda in Parkes but still wishing for better

[Jonesy :-)]

Hey Brett
the ribbed thing in the green circle is the rectifier regulator and you cant do with out it.
The one on the right in the red circle i think is the pendulum operated cut out switch, stops the bike if it falls over....piss it off

geez mate you got an excellent work shop area now compared to what you had in Parkes

[BrettS]

Oh and check out the new indicators I orderd. I figure the extra $100 they cost was an investment in my safety About $220 delivered to the door.

[BrettS]

Thought I better get stuck in I think I have a lot of work in front of me. Cleared space in the garage along with a tool bench and work bench. With all that work area it was looking like fun until I had to get the air box off. Seriously that thing is not going back on.
Thought I better start with Electrics first, the idea being I can keep starting and checking as I go.

I am guessing these two items in Red can go, they seem to be for stuff that I have already removed as most of the wiring has already been removed from their plugs. I think the two items in green need to stay. Not sure if reserve lighting is working I will need to check. Can some one tell me what the other is for?

New fuse box to go here but still way too many wires for my liking. Might have to look at a small battery again?

Already removed many wires from the headlight area. Think all these need to stay but some wiring may still need freshening up

[BrettS]

Yep seen that, made the rear guard cover the back tyre as per reg but wondered what I can get away with once resisted and times are changing. Saw a mates bike the other day with no front guard pass inspection so has me wondering?

[steptoe]

need to check design rules mate,,
you,ll need a front gaurd,

[BrettS]

Not sure my virt skills go that far Jeff, probably not that hard but not sure how?
Here is the front tucked in with a bit chunkier seat and same rear guard as now. Might look better with no front guard or at least trimed.

I think the 3 different colors are deceiving as to what looks big and small.
Paint the whole thing Matt black and all would be ok.
