Oldrat's Guzzi cafe jobbie

Wow
Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm pretty taken aback by how its been received.
The bike has been under wraps during the build and as I have said, it's a very personal bike to me, so whilst I don't need anyones approval, no one had seen it until recently and so your reactions have been incredibly humbling.

Quick update “wireless” stop n tail light added

I’m a tad chuffed about this so I hope you don’t mind my sharing it.


Wire less stop n tail.. (Well thats what I call it)

Here is a description..
The stop n tail light is in the seat hump itself. I used to have a metre long length of cable between the light and the frame so that when I took it off, I could set the seat down on the ground. The loop of cable tucked away under the seat always struck me as pretty scruffy and unfinished. A socket connector would have worked but been too fiddly to do one handed with my seat in the other hand.
It took a lot of trial and error but my final thoughts were to try to find some sprung contacts, I initially thought of those used for lights in a car hatch back door but all I came across were huge.

Lengthy trawls of the web found tiny sprung connectors (@1 mm) as in some computers and so I set about drawing up and getting some plastic mounts fabricated with stainless steel locating pins, the margin of error was minuscule.
Hey presto, after 3 months of drawing trialling different brackets and positioning, it now works, every time.

Abracadabra, No wires betw
een the seat and frame.
