I was piecing together my loom on the electrical panel and noticed I was missing the plate to hold the plugs in situ. I found this quite difficult to find and found one for sale in Thailand. It came today after a month and is perfect. No doubt someone on here will say "Oh, I have a few of those sitting" haha

Some nice results on the loom plugs from a quick dip in the ultrasonic cleaner.

In between some wiring my seat arrived today so got it fitted straight away! Ive also been fettling away at the electrics up front so getting close to testing those and making sure everything works.

All the electrics are wired up and the only thing I had issues with was the indicator relay so following the previous advice from a few older threads I purchased a 2 pin relay off eBay. Worked a treat once fitted. I also made up a bracket to hold it in place.

Yes, and no moving parts to go wrong.. solid state. And the flash is consistent, whatever speed the engine is running.. coming along well...

Bike doesn't look too different now from the front except it's all wired and handlebars, grips, clocks and controls are now fitted and working. Great work by Kettle Boy on the clocks and the controls!

Just realising as I post this I need to switch the bolts upside down on the indicators so that the nut is underneath!
