With time definitely NOT on my side, I decided not to wait for the German mail to bring (what appears to be) the only alloy rear GS flywheel shroud in the whole world.
I took a VB1 version, which is different in a few ways and 'adapted' it with the grinder, linisher, dremel, file and sandpaper. Now I have a cooling system that will suffice until either the mail arrives - OR I find another example.
Finally wired up the brake switch and am pleased to say my bespoke wiring based on logic worked perfectly. everything is in perfect working order and the engine starts first kick every time.
The maiden run was up and down the street, buzzing the Harley guys down at the Kustom Kommune, with my backside hanging in the place where the tank is supposed to be. The temporary tank was a piece of hose and a bottle.
Next thing is tank/seat and sidepanels. then it is proper riding time.
