At some point I'll have to move the tail light wiring so it isn't just snaking down the sissy bar and up the frame but again, small job. The thing I really need more of is time. Too bad they don't sell that in the parts houses...
I'm supposed to be getting my hands on a shop manual this week which should help with some of the bigger things. In any case, I'm getting closer and closer to where I want it to be. I've been looking at doing a couple things that are outside my ability and skill set but if you never move out of your comfort zone, you'll never learn anything.
Hopefully I'll have a good chunk of time to get the final loose ends tied off later this month. Unfortunately, everything comes with a price. If I were smarter, I'd use the good weather Saturdays to ride and the ugly ones to get work done. Having a family doesn't help either...trying to do everything you want can be a pain but the payoffs are well worth it.
JT-Looking good! I feel your pain and often think I'm a dog chasing its tail! I have a Clymer, '66-'84 Shovelhead manual if ya need to borrow it or need me to scan a section.
ReplyDeleteGreat work! An idea I am using for my tailight wiring is to drill a hole in the fender and put a rubber grommet in it to run the wire through, then I can stick the wire to the underside of the fender.
ReplyDeleteChris-Thanks man! As always, I appreciate your offer to help. Nick delivered a well worn, grease stained manual from his dad's shop just yesterday so I am good to go...for now.
ReplyDeleteJeff-As discussed, the hole and wiring part is done and I think I did the tape bit on the Sporty and might just do it again here. Great minds!
