Cheers, this was my first "proper" bike build so thought simple done well would be better than complicated done badly! A lot of the work you can't see!

Those electrics are unreal! Nice job Smudge!

Cheers Dave, this was my first time wiring a bike from scratch so I was learning as I went along! I used a motogadget m unit which I would definitely recommend, the only thing I don't like about it is the side stand switch only cuts power to the starter not the ignition so I spliced in the relay and diode from the original loom, ( definitely don't recommend trying to go round a left hand bend with the side stand down!!!) Hardest part was wiring the switch gear through the bars! Thanks again, appreciated.

You can’t tell mate, it looks professional job

Thanks very much.  All the welding, fabrication and electrics was done by myself, the only thing I paid out for was anything CNC billet, swingarm and paint , I totally underestimated the work that goes into these projects! Have a whole new respect for the guys on this forum! Cheers ,  really appreciated.

Not sure if anyone is interested in this but I used a motogadget m lock , it's a sensor and RFID chip that you use instead of a key , people normally sew the RFID chip into their gloves or jacket sleeve so you don't have to Cary key's around but I would probably loose them anyway, so I made a ring out of a stainless steel nut and epoxy'd the chip into it.  It's well handy.

I remembered something else!

[dynodave]

Yeah, liking that Smudge! I also know what you mean about wiring the switchgear through the bars...Its a Ball-ache! 

[Digs]

That wiring is so neat and you’re third person I’ve heard swear by the m-unit. Need to look into that.

[Digs]

That ring is the nuts, suits the build perfectly. 
 

did you buy the switchgear from motogadget? Quite like the minimal look of it.

Thanks, really appreciated, yea I got most of the fancy stuff from motogadget , they are a bit expensive but the quality is pretty dam good, there are cheaper alternatives , might be just as good, thanks again.
