Back to the bike..

The original harness was toast, so had sparckmoto.com build me a fresh custom.

Complete w LED's, turn flasher and R/R. Everything went perfectly.

Until I found the old stator had a bad leg, got a new emgo. and ALL GOOD

Charging 13.5vdc at idle.

Cut old reflector and riveted it to new so the original would fit in stock bucket w LED.

Charging properly at idle

I would love to check out the original stator if you dont want ir as i have only ever seen them fail due to mechanical damage.

Well done, another one on the road 👍. The Supertrap sounds great and especially on the overrun.

Thanks so much everyone!!!

And just a note to keep things real.

My plan is to have fun with her 'as is' this summer.

Collecting parts needed for the proper restoration next winter.

Making a few final tweaks.

Fit a British Bike fairing. I dont recall BSA or Triumph maybe.

And a new right side cover.

Went out for a nice little spin around the block and picked up a couple cans of soup and a loaf of bread at Caseys general store.

Along w a few (Ahem) umm "Beauty shots".
