April 10th edition, Wiring

Here’s some of what’s involved in making electricity do your bidding on a Bobber :-) As a buddy once said “4 wires, what’s so hard about that” ! Spark, brake tail headlight!

Here’s a couple of details

Handlebars, might be nice if you had some switches on the bars to honk your horn or dim your lights… And if you have a mill, you can make a nice slot instead of a drilled hole to bring the wires out of the bars

Of course, you’ll need to deburr the holes for those switch wires….

And those “4” wires have to meet somewhere so you can turn stuff off and on, maybe an idiot light to check up on your oil and generator…. Only LED’s in this case, something about Harley’s and vibration and light bulbs aren’t compatible :-). And maybe solder the connectors instead of twisting them together and giving them a piece of tape!

And then, if you’re using an aftermarket dash base ‘cause old used ones are pretty much used up, you get to make all the mounting holes line up with where it’s supposed to mount! Gee, I love my Mill! I could have used a rat tail file, but, if you have big toys, you have to use them, right?

So, here’s the flip side, with the wire looms in shrink tubing ready to install to the frame.

There’s more wiring to come, if any of that process is photogenic, I might post some more pics.
