550 has a 6 wire ignition switch, 380 has 4 hence no red/green band wire.

Tell you what, you sort it. Nobody seems to be listening.

Nearly a year into having the GT on the road, and while I have only put 200 miles on it, I have managed to iron out any of the teething issues and the bike is running great and all electrical issues sorted.

Managed to get out last weekend for some proper photos of the bike. Hope you like!

Stunning job!... your attention to details, such as the different black finishes and bolt/screw types is great( not that I'm anal on this you understand!)
was out on mine last night; very similar to yours but in black and it really drew a crowd as I'm sure yours does. congrats
