The Rebirth of the Phoenix

Yeah i just keep telling myself... trials and tribulations of fabircating!
Well got some good measurements on the front end today with Al Hall, who is going to lathe down the spacers to the proper fit.
Then we fished some of the ignition wires thru the back bone and get them ready for wiring.
Ran the wiring from the corner of the battery tray and up the backbone. Zipped tied all out of the way.
Out the back bone comes the coil hot and ignition wires
Then I took a olhm meter to the new key switch to check wires, then added some connectors to the end to mate up with the key wires I also put different connectors on.
Key
bike wiring went from these bdm pins
to these to mate up with the key switch
Make a jumper wire for the coil to coil connection
Then add on connecotrs to the ignition wires that will plug into the coils
All done here ready for key, motor, and coil mounts
A super short day today, cause running out of things to do as I wait on more parts from various F'ups that were out of my control as I have elude before about
As you can see, I was able to ditch the other table, which is a good sign for sure.
The current one table setup is still packed
Not a whole lot of things to do. Mostly buttoning up some things. and then of coarse trying to see if the electronics will work then "FIRE IT UP!"

fingers are crossed for you gasman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:2thumbs: :2thumbs:I need it Wood. I am getting a bit nervous now that its getting close...
I know that as soon as I get the motor mount back and can mount the coils, I'm going to put the battery in and connect it to see if at least the wiring holds up.
I will say this... BDM don't have JACK on me with my zip tieing everything out of the way.

gas, great job and how to....think that has been said before.....but, as much care and length that you went with all the other wiring, why arnt the key and coil wires soldered and heatshrunk???? they are exposed a bit more than the other wires. just a question i had. again, thanks for what you have posted so far....looks great!!!
That is a good point Chuck. However, I don't believe any of the wires on the whole bike are soldered. I will probably heatshrink them when it comes time to install them. Right now I was just getting everything as ready as I can.
Not too mention I SUCK at soildering.

Gas,
If you need in the future, I can get you connectors that have solder and heatshrink, or just heatshrink built into them...makes a very clean and unbelievably strong connection. When done properly, you will break the wire before you rip it out of these solder/ heatshrink connectors...water tight and strong. These are required for OEM auto wiring harness repairs.

cool TX... if you feel like it... get some together and PM me... I'll send ya some cash and get some up this way!
05... yeah... zip ties are money on these things... can't have too many I figure. That is until I'm caught on the side of the road bitchin about it!
Reminder... get some small snips for tool roll... :lol:

Well I got a part in today. One of the custom parts I have been waiting for. Nelson from Wicked Bastard Cycles had it made by a shop out by him. They do an awesome type of engraving. Do the engraving them its chromed and painted with this special paint. It turned out better than either of us expect. I searched and searched for a good pic. Ended up finding somin. Being the bike is now a Phoenix which is basically a mythical version of a firebird. I went with the design off a old school Firebird from Smokey and the Banditt. Which if you didn't know Burt is from Lansing, MI anyway.
Anyway, the new Jims Cam Cover in stock form
The comparison of Jims vs Phoenix
Man I'm lovin it...
Plus its more "black n chrome"
