the ig coils are connected and taped up. on the top tube

couple of loose cable ties too keep them outa the way
right handle bar switch wire fed thru and conected behind frame plates at headstock

thats the ignition switch wired up and wires taped up

this is the idiot lights that fit in the std clocks removed from my old set.
so now gonna take the replacements apart - the plan is to rebuild them. but the set i will put on ebay will have the std suzuki blocks on them 🙂 so of comes the speedo cable
only 2 nuts holding the chrome cover on 🙁
1mmm the gear ind light unit mount is broke. Not that its wired up on Kurgan. I have all the bits just never seem to get around to it.

that looks better an dremove dteh faulty rev counter unit
and replace with the other one !
at the front at least it looks good 🙂, so now to put them down and make a start on the wireing for it.
thats it roughly in place were the clocks will go
and in the headlamp shell. Unfortuantly had to stop here and spend the next 3 hours unblocking overflowing sesepit drain, which had backed up all the way to the house - no mean feet as i gotta a bloody long garden.! eventually got it all unblocked but n
