[QUOTE="craig, post: 51189, member: 1959"] Okay, The Lucas switch came in from England. The new Lucas, off/on, hex mount switch is designed for sheet metal mounting, but is easily converted to 3/16 fiberglass by trimming the six webs back with a Dremel tool. The battery lead to the ammeter was rerouted to this new switch, then switch to ammeter.........so the switch simply turns the battery off/on. Lucas logo key. The dashboard is now cosmetically complete. I have a cell charger coming Ebay, but this charger/clock will be mounted in SL5L or SL1. Test ride today........kick starting requires you think about your helmeted head and whether you will be knocking the windscreen. Cool temps today really benefited rider with cowl/windscreen. Having issues with FT284 steering damper spring, seems to need bigger screws to hold in place. Cheers Craig PS - I lost a nut holding wires on the headlight switch during ride today, tail light wire came off, nut lost. Now I put penetrating Loctite on several screws/nuts.
