"Ricks Ride"
Old Number 16

Assembly

Now its down to the crunch time and oh boy...its wiring time. Rick will be here in a week and this ride has to be ready. If not....I told him we would have to finish it together...ha ha

As you can see we are having fun now. Hooking up LED lights and have them work the way you want can be trying at times. Having the Badlands siginal module in the bike, so the turn signals will shut off automatically, can play havock with LED lights. I wanted to run the rear signals as brake lights as well. Well go some tricks up my sleeve to do that...just takes some special wiring parts and some time. But she is all working like a charm now.

Here is the front stuff pretty well done now. Still got the rear fender wiring to go yet but think we will make it. Everything is covered in copper braided sleeve, with shrink wrapped ends, and it all looks pretty cool matching the copper oil lines etc. No sense having just black wires running front to rear when you can show them off with something better. Its all the little things that makes a custom bike special. It takes some extra time but on this ride...I think it will all be worth it.

See ya next week Ricky!!

 

Soon Rick.....soon...ha ha...
