Just curious about the weight difference. The new LED headlight is actually slightly heavier.
Installed the new taillight and turn signals on the rear fender.
The taillight is a cheap one off Ebay that looks like the XR600 taillight but dual element bulb. Eventually I'll find an LED bulb that fits the housing. The 1157 replacements I have do not fit.

Turn signals are cheap flush mount LEDs

More progress, battery relocated under the seat. Assembled the last few bits. Only a valve adjustment at from being ready to start now.

How exciting! You should video first startup and post so we can hear that sweet sound...fingers crossed. : )

There is enough room under the seat to squeak that battery in there?!

Close to it, need to go into town and buy a feeler gauge set today to set the valve clearance first. Then it will get started.MN-Ed_imp said:
Yes, requires a little trimming but not bad.Rboe_imp said:

Tonight I reinstalled the wheels and finished up the wiring with a diode for the turn signal indicator to get the LEDs functional.

Looks I skipped a few details... I had the bike running about a year ago and forgot to check tire pressure before heading out on a test ride. Needless to say, a trail side tire repair was in order. After I arrived at home, I promptly ordered a tubliss kit for it. It took a couple months to get around to installing that kit, then they leaked overnight. It took a few more months to get them pulled and dropped off with a friend who helped get them resealed.

I was just thinking about your rebuild the other day as I was pouring over a WA state map, looking for routes. Good to see it has come to life.
