Will all the plastic and engine guards still fit? Lookin good.

Everything fits except the lower fairing, which can be carefully heated and bulged out on the very bottom. I haven't done that yet. I'm also not sure if the bottom cross-over trim fits or needs to be modified. That's been the least of my worries, lol.

When I did mine the only thing that needed modification was the crossover piece At the lower radiator position because the bottom of the radiator was kicked out a bit. minor modification.

Finished cleaning up the wiring...

On the left is the red power distribution block. The alternator feeds this, and ties into the original red/ white charging wires. Just below it is a 60 amp relay switched by the ignition that feeds the auxiliary fuse block on the right. Right now it has three circuits, the alternator lead and sense/ excitation wire, a clean feed to the coils, and the new fan, which also has a relay in the circuit, switched by the original fan power circuit.

I plan to add a circuit for a louder horn (with relay), and two phone charging ports, one with a built-in voltmeter. At some point in the future I'll feed another fuse block at the rear of the bike for trailer lights...

Almost there! Waiting on a lower radiator hose that's 'supposed' to have a portion that will allow me to skip using a spacer.

{'d like to see that hose and a part number when you get it. The one I'm using is a bit of a stretch

I'll certainly let you know!

Thanks

I have used the Morosso spacer kit 63610. Works well.

I like that. Many thanks

Yikes! A $22 coolant hose for four inches, and no clear 'cut' idea of which portion to use! I had to give it a little persuasion for the last 1/4 inch or so, so it's under a bit of tension. The top end was the start of a bend, and the inner dimension is a bit too large, but it seems good. I guess we'll find out soon!
The hose is a Gates 21008, I ordered it through O'Reilly's.

Good fit. Nothing inexpensive when its comes to these older GWs

Well, she's up and running! The first test run went well, except for the fact that I overfilled the coolant, so it was kind of difficult checking for leaks. The alternator is charging as it should, 12.9v at idle, 13.8v+ above 1500 RPM. The fan switches on a it should.
After cleaning up the coolant mess and screwing around with the plastics (I'm not very happy with the results), I ran it again, and quickly discovered a split fuel line. Shut it down and called it a day...

Well, the fuel lines were replaced at some point, but they're hard as a rock, and the fuel filter looks older than the bike, lol! Time for a trip to the auto parts store!

Kind of surprised you didn't see this before now. What was the problem with the plastics?
