Looking good John cooldude I have a standard Valk bucket if your interested in it.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I have the original 1200 bucket but it's a rusty mess so will have to come up with a substitute. The Adjure I have is a neat looking large bullet looking thing, just don't know if there's enough room in it. Plus I'll have to fab a mount for it.

Also spent some time this afternoon collecting the wiring that goes into the back of the headlight. Lordy, what a mess he left me.   

It almost sounds like you'd be better off with another harness.  They can be obtained pretty cheaply...

That would involve a lot of dismantling just to remove/replace it. I have it all dressed out with no problem, it's just the front end section that's going to be a challenge. The portion that goes into the headlight bucket where all the running lights and turn signal wiring would be. That's just a small part of it, thankfully he left enough wire in most places where he cut it so I can see the color. I have a multitude of the OEM size bullet connectors and various size multi-pin connectors. I will have to redesign the turn signal circuit since I did away with the canceling apparatus at the bottom of the steering head near the bottom tree.

So am I Pete, can't wait to see what it looks like. I have this vision that approximates the final outcome, but it keeps changing.   Grin
