nothing is simple

I've sealed the tank. Hopefully, it was completely dry and the coating will be even, but as I can't see inside, I've no real way of telling. The wiring that runs along the side of the frame from the battery box will need tidying up for the tank support to fit over it. I really should re-do the loom completely but don't know if I have the time (or more honestly, the inclination) to do such a large task.

I've almost finished making the brass box for the electrics. I reduced the height and it's coming on nicely. I found a brass wing-nut on e-bay which I think will complement it as a fastener. All I have to do now is work out how I'm going to fix it to the mudguard. I can either drill a hole through the guard and fasten it with a screw or I can go the slightly more complicated route and make an alloy bracket to fasten to the screws which are already there. That may give me a metheod of fixing the components the box holds.

As the nut is coming from a Royal Enfield supplier in India I'll have time to polish the box before it gets here.
One simple thing I got done was to replace the timing cover with a plain black one I bought recently. I do believe that was the last thing which obviously stated that the bike is a Harley. It's still a H D, just not badged!

I still need to find somewhere to get the welding done and will look into that soon. 

While I was browsing e-bay I came across an oil tank filler plug which will match my fuel tank bung. It's expensive though and coming from the USA may cost me even more with import dues. I'll consider that purchase carefully as I've just realised I still need to service the bike before it's back on the road and that will cost me for oil. (I've already got a filter somewhere in the garage.)
