Never having wired a bike from scratch before, it took me four days to get all the wiring done. Tested the wiring last night and I guess the battery was low because today, when we went to start the bike today it wouldn't fire. Turned out the battery was down to 6 volts. Swapped in another battery and the bike fired up after three kicks!! A few oil leaks due to some loose fittings but it appears all is well. The electric start didn't work although the starter relay was working the night before and now it doesn't energize. But I had it off earlier in the day and probably crossed a wire when I put it back together. I'll trouble shoot that tomorrow. Also have a bit of an issue with the brakes but...that's for another day. The main thing we're happy about is the bike fired up and ran really well. Not bad for some thing that was just a bunch of dirty parts in the back of a truck less than a year ago.
