Finally, Wiring!

After fucking around with the brakes for too long, I couldn´t get them working properly, I have finally started with the wiring.
When I stripped the bike back in 2009, I ripped out the wiring completely. My last trip on this bike ended alongside the highway with some major electrical problems, taking me hours to get back home. so......

Starting from scratch... I always attach individual cables to each user, switch etc. This way, if anything fails in the future I can replace it with ease without having to touch the rest of the wiring harness.
It isn´t much I need to wire-up, I have reduced things to the max. For example, no switches so NO wiring to the handlebars.

I really hope I can ride this bike next weekend, fingers crossed...

Fender adjusted, Fiddly stuff!

Got started with the wiring again and while dis-assembling the rear-end I decided I wanted larger clearance between the fender and the tire, nice timing you dumb fuck, haha.....
With the fender painted that turned out to be a fiddly job, but with some carefull cutting and filing it looks like its never been touched.
The fender clears the tire an additional 0.5 cm and.......
I did not forget the wires :-)
