Anyone have any idea what this block is for, I picked up a Japanese harness so I could use a proper light switch, Everything plugs in except for this mystery block, Its under the tank by the coil, Its in with the switch gear blocks, I'm stumped....

the colors make me think kickstand switch.

the other thing I wonder about is their over-the-limit speed indicator light that is at the bottom of the jap gauge cluster.

Picked up the relays, Fitted them and fiddled with the wires for a few hours and got everything working, Got the clocks on, brakes on and bled, chain and sprockets on, Mudguard and plate holder etc, Head is back from Bill Wilson, Looks class, Nice job Bill, Nice to see you testing out the new mill on the head :)
Porting is roughed in, Have to finish that up, Few more MM here and there need to be removed :P
Bunch of other niggly bits, Progress.. Havent sent the bodywork out yet, Painter is completely backed up, Prima donnas if you ask me.. :P

That rear shock looks like a nice stout piece.
You are doing a first class job. :smt023
I am amazed how much work you can do in a short time. Whats your secret?

Those are NK Racing caliper brackets from the UK. They are good for mounting Blue Spots .... or in this case Gold Spots. I've got a set on my LC.
