She's done and so is this thread!
#37

So I finished her completely. With the help of Lola & Mjezek I got the Posh front turn signals done. I thought I had done something wrong because after locking them down, running the wires, and connecting everything in what I thought was correct, I turned them on for a test before I buttoned the headlight back up. Everything worked perfectly. The front and back blinkers flashed correctly and stopped correctly. However, when I turned the Bike on the front signals lit up, kinda like running lights but the backs were off. I scratched my head and reversed the wiring but it did the same thing. I contacted Lola & Mjezek and described what I was seeing. They both got back to me laughing. I had wired everything correctly and the front signals are suppose to be on and the backs are not. So everything was Kosher!

So that beong resolved I buttoned her back up. Lets quickly go back to mounting the front Posh's. I went to my local hardware store and bought SS fender washers, washers, lock washers and nuts. I also bought a 24/64 metal drill bit and a an of black spray paint. I had electrical tape already.

I painted everything the night before and the next day it was dry and came out nice and a good match. I took the drill and carefully made the holes larger. They are now 10mm Fine. I threaded the wires through the thredded metal and dropped the big fender washer on and put it through the new holes. I found out that there was not enough room to get the second fender waher, washer, and lock washer in the other end so I just put the fender washer on and a bunch of RTV Blue and then put the nut on and hand tightened them in place. I then connected the wires and taped them all up.

I retested the signals again to make sure they worked and then I positioned and tightened the turn signals in place. I buttoned up the headlight with the new H4 bulb in it. Then I adjusted the light to the proper hight and locked it in. I slapped on the plate and waited for the temperture to hit 50 and I took her out for the Maiden breakin. Thats it for this thread . . . save answering any question and thanking all that helped me with the details I didnt understand! Thanks
