Here are some pics of how the light is mounted to the triple trees.
thanks for the pics much appreciated, must have slight differences in the models of shocks, the bottom of the spare shock where the nut tightens up to the disc with teeth in it,
that's as far as it goes, no probs will fit it to the franken shock this Saturday.

The headlight bracket looks like the way to go, i looked around and not much in the way of quality, durability or adjustability i want something that will last and to be at lest 12v
and the same vintage so i think xt one is the way to go. i can make the bracket fit and put a new cowl on it, now all i need is a donor, hmm might know some one smile:


And i have had a few deliveries this week.
new lock.
Image
This a wanted in case it goes back to standard. and it's freekin mint!
Image
New tool bag.
Image
grip tape, when the frame gets powder coated this will go on the high wearing parts of the frame.
Image
heat shrink, for the wiring harness work coming up, the key is to use is as conduit being red will blend in on the frame.
Image
And gasket set this one is athena better quality than the last one for when i split the motor again to fix the seal i forgot to install.

Speaking as an electrician who has used heat shrink for many years, do the shrinking when the wiring is in place on the frame, don't do it on the bench & then try to bend the stuff to fit the bike, once shrank it doesn't bend.

In general heat shrink is not really suitable for wiring looms, only parts of the loom or repairs.

Hey mezo! the funny thing is the bikes wiring harness has what i thought was red conduit, i was looking for ages trying to find it, then it dawned on me,
i grabbed a lighter and it shrank! it is heat shrink, so i thought i would stick with the theme. it looks good and blends in with the frame, i wasn't going to shrink it, it might do coming
out of the magneto?

Hey fred! Ah yes, as luck would have it i got some factory harness bands, alloy bands with plastic coating and also the rubber ones that go
on the handlebar wiring harnesses, and if i'm desperate reusable white zip ties.
And for the grease nipples i got red bleed nipple caps. has to be red smile:

That reminds me, you still have that acebis long range tank hanging around? :evil:

Just remembered i came across you on youtube kick starting your bike. :lol:

Nice work mate! Be carefull when using those O-rings on non original sets. I had to replace most of them! They shrink do to bad quality and start to leak oil! Just my experience......
Love TT´s

More goods have turned up, it's like Christmas every week.
I love the boxes the factory parts come in for some reason, new tail light, the after market one was crap,
the earth wire kept breaking off and the lens would fill with water.

Image
This is the parts harness, will cannibalize this one for bits and the h4 plug
Image
And of course red electrical tape.

I was part searching last night and finally found the parts microfiche for the road legal parts, battery box, blinkers, brackets regulator, rectifier, no. plate bracket,
speedo, left switch block, Then i cross referenced the part no.s on to boats.net and rear guard front guard and other little things are available, for some reason the parts are not linked to any bike at
all, just the part on its own. some are listed for allot of atv's, bikes, snow mobiles, ect. I will get as many genuine parts as i can then quality after market as necessary.

The problem is most of it is obsolete, but the good thing is the part no.s you can use for cross referencing and searching, here's one of the microfiche's

It's the 3sw one http://www.pieces-yam.com/yamaha-pieces ... 97-36.html
check out the front blinker mounts it's the first time ivé seen them!
