Well, being a twonk (yes, I am) I picked up a single pole switch instead of a double pole switch for the lights, which is annoying – so I need to replace that. But the rest of the bike is now wired and lighted and ready to rock and roll. I have a grab-rail instead of a top-box at the moment because the top-box mounting isn’t quite in the right place with the indicators where they are. A nut missing from the saddle, and the wiring loom is strangely close to the side-panel cover, which is a little disconcerting.
But yesterday I attached the gear lever and she, under her own steam, moved.
I had some fun with the chain splitter, but managed to sort that eventually. And she is ready to ride. I just need to get a brake light switch and then I can get an MOT. Kathryn did look displeased at me, as I did my brief low-speed test ride without bike gear on (it’s the only time I’ll ride anywhere without gear is if I’m just checking she moves). Oh, and the first time ever in my life, I think I got the clutch adjusted right! First time and all! Woot!
