Swapping a loom.

Not a job that I had been looking forward to this, but something I had to get done as the electrics on this bike where just getting worse and worse. Only the week before I went to get to work and found that the battery was dead as the bike wasn't getting enough charge due to the 'corroded' charging circuit. This was also affecting my lights and indicators with bulb's blowing, lights dimming, and everything flashing when I indicated.
So it had to be fixed, a big job, as all the plastics and tank need to come off to get everything out. As you can see by the first and second photos, which in reality took the longest amount of time.
I put the new loom in and got the bike going, but had a few small problem with he rad fan constantly going. Sorted this all out but then I think I shorted something, and in further discoveries today after not having the bike for a week I think I have found the problem. A dead signal generator, this with the help of Alternator control the timing of the spare to the spark plugs. So with out this I have not ignition.
