FH - baby steps

 Aside from fixing the horn, there were a few more little steps towards completing the Huntmaster today. The package from Draganfly arrived this morning and in it we have the throttle stop which goes straight into position on the twist grip:


There's a few more bits of wiring we can do as well. First off the BPF connector in the headlamp has poor quality wires and undersized bullets so we can replace those by desoldering the terminals, replacing the wire and adding some good quality English bullets for connection to the headlamp wiring. We can also add a splice and a couple of extra bits of wire to earth the BPF connector to the headlamp shell and onward to the main earth and the battery. 

Additionally the pilot lamp holder was in really poor shape. The wire had started to degrade so it was really necessary to replace it. I used a small pop rivet to replace the terminal, and used a new piece of wire crimped into the pop rivet and provided with a bullet connector at the other end. 

I just need to find a full set of LED lamps from Paul Goff to complete the work on the lights.


The last thing was to fit one of the pillion footrest rubbers. The other one is waiting on a repair to the screw retaining the footrest to the frame.
