Yep, just spent the last hour doing exactly that obviously ditching the speaker wires for the correct colours. Did the K2 have it on the bars or the frame? Got me thinking now!

should be on the frame, on the left, but hey, I would put it wherever if I were having to re-wire.

Could anyone show me how it’s mounted? I’m stripped down far enough to do it now. The flapping fob annoys me in the bars and it’s taking the paint off the idiot lights! My Triumph does the same but no messing with that one....

I’ve made up a bracket from some old VW seat mounts, see how I get on with it. Didn’t even know it was supposed to be down there, I thought that was K0s only. Shows what I know! The “originality†rebuild went out the window early on when I realised what a mongrel I’ve got.....

Good day today:
Relocated ignition switch to under tank.
Tidied up wiring loom under tank, added a fused heavy positive lead up to the headlight and fitting micro relays for horn, headlight (H4 conversion), and coils. Added an extra earth lead bonded to the frame. Wired horn to/from headlight, same for coil live side. Don’t think my kill switch is the best hence fitting relay, maximise voltage to new coils, caps and plugs. Already sorted static timing and last time out the bike was pulling nicely so should be even better.
Test fitted tank, no wires fouling.
Renewed head races, refitted forks, wheel, waiting on new pads. Rebuilt the caliper yesterday.
Renewed all brake hydraulics down from the master.
Tomorrow refit clocks, fit caliper if pads arrive, start building new sub loom in headlight for the above. Renew throttle cables and route properly. Refit rear mudguard and rewire rear indicators. Replace master fuse holder...
