Well, I hooked up the clutch safety wires.. pulled the clutch and got a kick!

Ground is definetely my issue. I’m not getting ANY type of response from the solenoid and I used a multimeter to test the wires coming off of it and I’m getting 12+ volts

I don’t have the clutch wires hooked up yet, but I will plug those bad boys in when I get home! And I know the starter is good, so I’m not worried about that. I used a starter jumper and it worked fine.

Also, is the solenoid supposed to get any type of ground any where? Bc I used a jumper on the starter wire and got action that way, so I know the starter is good, etc.

Yep, I literally just figured that out in the past day or two. Lol. But I’m not getting ANY action from it. No clicking. No nothing. Could this be because of the neutral/brake/clutch safety switches? I don’t have the bike fully wired yet. The only thing that happens when I hit the start button...

I think I got it figured out. One is the line for fuel and the other “mysterious t” is the float bowl vent.

Do any of you guys happen to have a photo of the way your fuel lines are ran? There are two lines coming off the carb, but only one has a filter. Does the one line feed all 4 carbs?

Oh, I definitely prefer the stepped seat. The zip tie mock up is just to get an idea of the length difference. I think I'm going to stick with the loop that is on there.

I have the factory seat still, which fits like a glove. So I’m either going to strip that down to just the pan, and build it from there or start from scratch - wrapping the frame w Saran Wrap and fiberglassing it. Wez , did you get that seat from eBay? I almost bought one just like it

Haha clever one. I don’t much care about the “cafe racer theme”. But I will never understand the concept of owning a motorcycle that you can’t put a woman on the back of! I appreciate your input and I will be leaving the length! Dan, do you have any opinions on the rear set mounts I posted? I...

Starting to actually look like a motorcycle

Any input is appreciated! I want to keep the rear hoop long enough for a passenger, so my girlfriend and I can ride around when we go to Miami - but this looks a little far out. Or am I crazy? I zip tied another hoop, with the desired length. Do you guys think it is too short / or as it is -...

Haha, yes in the house. I don't have a garage or easy access to one where I could work on the bike as I please, so the spare room will do. I have a junk rug down to protect the floor. And I'm not doing any engine work in there, just basic bolt on stuff. So it's really no different than building...

Skelee - I have a wiring diagram like that in the back of my manual, but I appreciate your help. I'm trying to figure out what the connections are for on the solenoid itself. There aren't really any details. Wez - Yes I have the spacers in my crate of parts. Thanks for the heads up though. I...
