OK, sorry guys I'm a
little late updating. Yesterday was pretty successful, we mainly
purchased stuff for the workshop like more sockets. This made Em happy, as I no longer have to keep
stealing the desk and sockets, every time I want to solder! After
a little, let's say INTERESTING, trip to Trago Mills, (We somehow
managed to get lost, but I blame that on Emily as she was driving!)
we came away with some more sockets, stocked up on electrical tape, a
spark plug tester, and a few little miscellaneous bits like Nitrile
Gloves and Solder etc.
On the bike side of
things, we only actually got a new Battery and some LED indicator
resistors for the back as I planned on tidying up the rear end of the
wiring loom.
When we returned home,
I installed the new Battery, and played with the wiring loom. The
result was a nice fat bluey/purple SPARK!!!!!! It's a miracle! All
the trouble we had, and it was just down to the old battery being
down a cell and old. First (hopefully only, touch wood) big problem,
dealt with. We then decided to take up the offer from a few friends,
to go and meet them for dinner and few drinks, well needed! Probably
should have come home a little earlier, what with Emily starting work
at 8, this morning. None the less, some Steak and Kidney Pie with
chips and buttered veg, accompanied by Strongbow and a few games of
pool, went down a treat!
Onto this morning,
with Emily off to work and my seemingly, increasing struggle with
Insomnia, I had to get up and start fiddling! I began with putting
up the new sockets, and finalizing where
each wire needed to go on the end of the wiring loom, fitted the
resistors and taped it up. It was at this stage I got a big boost of
motivation, I was getting fed up of not having a spark, and running
out of ideas!! I then decided it was best to get on with Emily's dinner and Valentines card, you know what it's like guys ;)
The next step is to get
Emily's bike sold, so we can purchase the exhaust system and to order
some foam, so we can start creating a shape for the rear fairing.
Coming along well now!
We have had some great
help and tips from others in the biking community, the two wheeled
world would not be the same without it!
We will back over the next few days, hopefully with a running bike!
Cheers everyone!
Max
