Ted, so what your saying I have to solder a green earth wire to the inside of the indicator earthing plate and run that to the loom?

If I remember correctly I drilled a small hole on the bulb holder plate  then screwed a wire to the plate via an eye connector.
I might have used a small pop rivett it was a couple of years ago.  Then as you say ran the wire inside the front headlamp cross tube and into the headlamp bowl to the earth terminal that acts like a captive nut holder for the headlamp fitting side bolt.

Not sure about elsewhere in the UK, here in Derby it's still pretty cold for a long period of bike work.
It was only 58 deg F in there today - well below my comfort zone tbh.

I've decided to set the carbs up using a Morgan Carbtune Pro 4 that I ordered today so the tank will not be fitted until it's running with balanced carbs. It's been a relief to have it running as many here can empathise after a full strip down.
To spur me on I would like a couple of weeks of warm sunny weather.

I've have quite a lot of backlogs to clear in the house & garden before I take the 500 out for a run I will post some pics when the tank & side panels are in place.

Such a deeply satifying moment when it comes back to life, now get it on the road.

Good news, you must be itching to road test it.
