    Electrical rework and new lighting

    I traded a Sig P225 & Type 56 SKS for a 1981 GS450L. I have to admit the other guy got the better end of the deal?lol. Anyways, my new/old GS450 needs some TLC. Here are some pics of some rewirimg I did.

      6AC00E90-C167-413B-9436-BFB95FC5C98F.jpg LED tail light and new turn signals. I soldered all connectors and used heat shrink tubing. Very time consuming and tedius but well worth it.

        177B4049-D841-4754-B383-918D8F3DCB2D.jpg I bolted a piece of wood under the frame to create an electrical tray. The wiring is on top, and starter relay, etc... underneath.

          0C9EC771-CEAB-447F-87BA-0EF52D18A4C4.jpg It looks ok from 12 feet away. Hopefully I can cut down the distance with some more work.

            Is that a Shinko 712 or a Kenda Challenger?

            For YOUR sake (and others around you), I hope it's a Shinko.
