started

I spent an hour tightening up fasteners, wiring up the indicators and fitting the battery. Then with most of the lights coming on I turned the engine over. It fired up first time. Though, as there is no petrol in the tank apart from a little at the bottom and in the fuel pipe, it didn't run for long.

I will need to spend a bit of time later working out the wiring on the indicators as the front left doesn't come on and the right ones are flashing too quickly.

After I had spent a little time getting the wires right, I got them all working but they were still flashing too quickly.
I've done a bit of research and now know that it's caused by the resistance of LED lights being less than that of filament bulbs. The mechanism which speeds up the flash rate as an indication of a blown bulb, thinks that a bulb is out and reacts as such. Something needs to be done to fool the system into seeing the resistance of the stock bulbs. I will need either a plug-in load equaliser, (which is the expensive route), or to fit some resistors, which is the more technical way to do it. I'll have a think for a couple of days and then decide.

But, at least the engine started and the new exhaust pipes sound good and loud. Soon be back on the road.
