100mm ball test same as the exterior due to a lack of windscreen or roof etc.

I like that dash btw.

Might have to trim around then for iva maybe some L shaped trim to give a soft edge.

Not sure where the last 4 months have gone. I did wire and mount rear lights, sorted my temp gauge and get my fuel sender wired in so not a complete break.

Just seems like endless small jobs at the min, think there is light though,maybe a summer drive!

First time this summer I got a day in the garage.
Finished my roll over bar and harness mounting points.
Hoping to get a couple more days on it so hopefully finish my indicator and reverse, brake light wiring then get on with the small finishing jobs.

Another small step forward.
Managed to get my indicators flashing, doesn't sound like a great achievement but it took a lot of time with different wiring diagrams and flasher relay pin outs and blown fuses before i got it right. I need to properly wire in the side and front indicators now.

They do flash fast though, so I'll need to sort that, any suggestions, wondered if it was bulb resistance compared to the flasher unit spec. Flashes at the right speed on hazards. Haven't got the dash tell tale wired in yet either.

Hi Mike,
Try to connect front and rear at the same time, and the flashing speed will be divided by 2. It is actually proportional to the current. 1 light bulb flashed 2 times quicker than 2 light bulbs.
Hope this is where your problem comes from, and it can help

I did have that problem when I first fitted my front bike indicators....needed different bulbs in mine!!

[MikeB]

Had all three temp wired in so full load except the tell tale, they are bike indicator on the front so maybe that's the issue, I've got another really to try then bulbs, cheers for the tips!
