Nope, they're all long gone and were all cracked and damaged anyway. So I'm going to fab up something to cover it in. I'll re-use the tail light and rego assembly from the first incarnation, I just needed to bend it into shape a bit more.
Here's a pick with the seat back on. I think it's going to work out ok after all, but I will probably need to get the seat reshaped in the future.

I had a major win tonight, just after a pants-crapping moment. I've been re-wiring and arsing about, not having a lot of time to spend on the project. I finally had it at a point where all the lights etc were connected, just not the ignition system. So I figured why not, let's see if I've got this wired right. So I kludged up the last of the ground wires, attached the battery, and went to turn the key.
As soon as I touched the key to the lock there was a zap and a puff of smoke from the barrel. Bloody thing had shorted out the instant I touched it with the key. That's what I get for buying a crappy cheap OS barrel. Ripped it off, and wired in the original ignition barrel and gave that ago.
Success! Lights worked, horn worked, indicators worked, instrument cluster worked. Damn that was a relief that I hadn't screwed up the wiring or blown up an expensive control box.
Now to try to finish it all.

That's good news mate. I hate wiring. Mine is still a mess. I really should pull my finger out and finish it. I miss riding.

Cheers, guys. The wiring is still a bit all over the place, unavoidable I suppose but I'd love it if I could just get it all tidied up and done. I think I've got four wires left to connect before I see if the beast lives again.

I passed a major milestone yesterday - started her up after 10 months sitting in the shed. Just a bit more wiring to tidy up and get another kill switch and it'll be back on the road.
