Default gave in and brought it to the shop...

well i finally conceded and brought the bitch into my local indy.

i got the bike all put together finally, and it looks amazing, i have a picture of it somewhere, i'll get around to finding and posting it. it looks exactly how i wanted it to look when i started this whole process.

it just wont start. everything works but the bike won't turn over. the grip ace is all wired up and connected...the turn signals, headlight hi/lo all work, but the bike won't start.

i finally got frustrated today and trailered it over to the shop. i'll let them chase the electrical gremlins then check all the work i did and with any luck by next weekend i'll have my bike back and 100% finished.

sorry to all those (i know you're out there) who've been waiting with baited breath to see my bike all done.

Good luck man. I've been waiting for the rest to see the finished product. I hate electric problems, hopefully its a quick fix.
