Hey alla Y'all !
    The bobber is coming along, BBUT, damn getting the electrics to be
hidden and look just right is a Biotch!!!  Yes it will have all functions,
but I have run everything through the bars, through the frame and terminated
behind the transmission.  It seemed like a really easy process until I
started to have to figure all the routing and device connections.....not as
easy as it looks folks.  I'd much rather be fabricating a part or fitting
this and that.   My ultimate goal was to keep a uncluttered front end, hence
the built in turn signal in the rear views .
    Folks I've been a subscriber to American from day one,  One thing I had
never seen was a how to on wiring a complete bike.  I shot an email to the
editor and explained that they had never featured anything of the sort.
ANd  got a response that it could be an idea for a future feature.   The one
thing I notice in 99% of the custom magazine bobber builds is a lack of
front turnsignals---WOW that makes keeping the clean handlebars a cinch.
Why didn't I do that???   Because I can't get it titled without them, much
less get an inspection sticker.  ( Brass balls, Zero engineering, Sucker
Punch, etc. has them because these are 50 state legal titled bikes).  I
guess it's a pet peeve when I see bikes in magazines that couldn't be titled
here in La. (some don't even have a front brake)
    Keep the HED buzzing!!
big "E"     Houma, La.
