Hello. Did start to do wireing. Rec plate holder +ligt redy and installed. I also managed to contact upholster guy. ( he is abroad and forgot to mention that). i try to keep nextmonday off from work to finish ewerything. Not really fins begause lot of things may not be completed in this summer. I just need to put it together and drive to sunset.
. There is nice bike show comin on in 11.6. And i must go there by driving my own "BuliMasina" (=Big Gadget).

Looks like you found the upholsterer, or is that a different saddle?

Just think of that wiring as a video game, get it wrong and something blows up! Or maybe catches on fire! Just (sort of) kidding. Take your time and study the large format wiring diagrams and "all will be made clear". I like the seat.

That tank really matches the side panel shape very well.
