Gixxer rearsets and RGV wiring

Thanks to my brother-in-law Dan and his co-workers I now have a custom machined shift rod long enough for the rearsets. I've changed to a GP shift (up=down gears, down=up gears) as the rod will foul the lever if left in the normal position. This should be interesting to ride around on till I get used to it.


The brake lever is also set up with the machined spacers, the HRC style reservoir has been cut and needs to be fastened to the bike. The pressure switch (on the floor) still needs to go on but that will have to wait for another day as I'll need to bleed the brakes as well.


I got a little more of the RGV wiring completed, slow going and will be just held in place till I get the engine in. Having the colours for the battery cables the opposite way makes for interesting times - I'll have to label them so there's no confusion in the future.
