Here we go again.







Frontwheel hub, I forgot to mask it before painting.
Had to scratch it of before mounting disc.













Those springs are tough to mount and nasty if you drop it.





That 2 inch extension seemes to be perfect.







The rain have stopped for the moment so out to get some pics now when it´s a roller.

Very nice, next the wiring

Mezo.

Thanks Mezo.
You have absolutely right about that wiring was next up.


The 43F frame has this bracket for the coil.





That´s another thingy I´ve missed.
The 2KF frame looks like this.
Don´t know how the coil is attached but I have my suspicions.





But I made one like this. It will be invisible there.





The other wiring looks like this after I have taken off all tape.
Cables is dirty and gluey (sticky).
But I was missing 4 cables for the front signals and hoped they hadn´t cut them off.
They were there under the tape. I will also check for bad cables/connections when I´m at it.





I found those 2 under the tape as well. Don´t know what they are for.
They comes out from the wiring in the same position as the cable to the coil.
Anyone can tell what the function is?

They look like the wires for the horn.

You have the wiring diagram right? its on the forum here in colour.

I hoped that someone should suggest that, I was missing them as well. Thanks.

I am not a friend of wiring diagrams.
Can´t even get a digital dashboard work properly on my TRX.

Edit: It is the Horn according to the wiring diagram.

Pure theraphy spending the beginning of the holiday like this.
It´s raining a lot anyway for doing anything else.

Started the day to go and buy a fuse holder so I could finish the wiring harness.
Old and new.







Then it was a kind of a setback. I found a drop of oil below the left fork leg,
just where the big bolt is. It is leaking.





Teared it down and found out the seal (copperwasher was ok but to big).
Cause the bolt has raised sides. Found a new small seal and we´ll see.





Just keeping on mounting parts.

Have you ever used heat shrink electrical connectors? They are really worth the extra cost down the road with preventing corroded wires. At least you put dielectric grease in all the terminals before crimping them, right?............................................................. Right ????

There is 3M liquid electric tape that can be spread over connections to fully waterproof them, even comes in different colors.

Coming along nicely though.

No I don´t use any grease. I´m just cleaning them with some oxide cleaner. It is really dirty in there.
For the cables, I´m using a vulcanised tape thats waterproof wiring it all together. It sort of melts together.
