New Yamaha Project???

[Hellgate]

M-Button wires laid out.

Hole drilled in the handlebar.

Here goes nothing!

This is such a cool build and it's impressive how many ambitious changes you're making

 

[Hellgate]

Thanks Dustin. I'll be honest, this is conceptually the most difficult project I've done. I'm figure is I can get in 2 hours each night I can get it done in a couple of weeks.

I'm also thankful for all the help I've received from Internet friends and Revival Cycles. Without them I'd would still be staring at the parts.

All that said I'm feeling more comfortable and confident in my ability.

M-Button harness with heat shrink and the wire ends have been "tinned."

 

[Hellgate]

The right hand side wires pulled through the bar. White is right turn, blue is start/kill.

 

[Hellgate]

Left hand side in place.

Orange is the headlight, yellow left turn, red is horn.

Right hand side switch wired.

Right hand side switch in place. That's all for today.

Two or three?

Prepping the 3 button switch housing. I used 1000 grit wet/dry sand paper to removed the polished finish. The 1000 grit leaves a nice matte finish.

The left hand three button switch is on.

The top button, yellow, left turn. Bottom button, front, red, horn. Bottom button, back, orange, headlight, hi/lo.

Next up is the alternator and regulator.

The Posh turn signals arrived today! These are beautiful, super high quality Japanese goodies!

The 4 signals save 2 pounds from stock, and look clean.

 

[Hellgate]

Rear signals installed.

That thing sure is coming along nicely! When's the first ride?

 

[Hellgate]

I was sick the last 5 days so I've not done anything but mount the lights.

I'm hoping this weekend I'll get it to start if I can find the time. As far as a ride I'm not sure.
Rain all weekend, then next weekend is the grand opening of our store. Some day it will be ridden.

Back at it. Prepping the alternator wires.

Blue is the neutral switch wire.

Installed the new Rick's R&R. If I was doing this again I'd splice the Weather Pack and the bullets out about 3". Next is sizing the bridge cable from the R&R to the alternator.

 

[Hellgate]

Sizing the bridge cable, 3 white wires.

Bridge cable shrink wrapped, male ends on, waiting for the soldering iron to warm.
