It’s time to take a big step forward on the project and install the electrical system. Here is the write-up on this part of the project.
I removed the wiring harness and all the peripheral electric components so I could have the frame powder coated. I documented some of that disassembly in this write-up:
At this point, with the exception of the rear fender and the attached turn signal and brake light assembly, I have everything installed in the frame that the wiring harness connects to. Thanks to a lot of pictures I took during the general disassembly of connection details and wire routing, putting it all back together was pretty straight forward.
Here are a couple pictures for the many I included in the write-up.
