Wiring all gone



Yesterday I decided to go down to the garage and put in an hour on the bike. Since it has been at "Twamley" I've been progressively stripping stuff off the frame. All the wiring has gone and the handlebars have been removed along with the back (blue) frame and exhaust.


"Before" (on left) it was just spagetti and we discovered that the bike had been rewired because all the wire colours were wrong! Great ! (Now we need to get our hands on a wiring diagram and Peter will need to rewire the whole bike ... maybe).


Even though the wiring was the wrong colours I tagged everything with coloured bits of electrical tape so that ... if we did keep the original wires ... we would at least know what to connect to "what" when we put everything back together again.


The rear frame came off easy enough as did the handlebars and other bits and pieces. Everything is in cardboard boxes now ... all labelled and tagged. What's left of the bike "after" stripping the wiring off. (see right).
