A sample of the 40 page ignition system manual... the green thing replaces the stock system making the timing pickups obsolete... wish me luck... now that my back has recovered some... the engine has to come out  ;)

I secured a different set of mufflers... perhaps it won't run so rich... 
Also a complete set of coils, wires and plugs to see if I return to original configuration it will idle properly... I need it to rain so my other chores get rained out!

Winter prep

I don't work on the project bikes in the summer
Did some winter prep yard work
Drained and filled the tank
Started and idled perfect... shut it off and it would not restart

Rear end work... tailghts and turn signals

 While searching the internet for ideas i ran across this example of a CX with no  tailight or rear turn signals... it took me hours to notice

 Turn signals are mounted... now on to the rear tailight
Turn signals no not flash... to be expected as all the bulbs are LED... the front turn signals are in the headlight.... and there will be two more on the ends of the handlebars
I'll need a different kind of flasher
to get them to flash as there is not enough impedance now without the old style bulbs

Why?

I was asked why the slow progress particularly after my lack of understanding of why these builds take so long. I ride in the summer work in the garage in the winter

Sorting

Sorting out wiring after sorting out the Garage enough to get to the CX

Headlight and handlebar clip on mounts have be a nightmare to sort...
Tool run and parts run... hate to Jury rig but might have to, three different thickness on the fork tubes doesn't help.





Found some clamps on Ebay... they are in Hong Kong of course...
I will use some Insulated Electrical clamps until the new ones arrive
