Austin Cafe Racer Blood Sweat Tears and Grease

Though this is a temporary location, I am very happy with how clean it looks. I started by splitting the plastic wire harness housing behind the bucket before it entered the clubman bars. I pulled the black/white wire and one of the black wires out of the bars and out of the plastic housing. I then slid some heat shrink wrapping over the wires, cut them down to size, soldered them to a mini toggle switch and mounted in them in the nearest hole I could find, the headlight bracket.

View from top. Nice short wires, neatly heat shrink wrapped and mounted.

It doesn’t look bad, and it’s not terribly awkward. I have something in mind for the future, but for now it will do. Tomorrow morning I’m adding a switch for the headlight (on/off) and mounting it somewhere away from the bars, that will leave me with just the starter switch to deal with which will remain near the throttle.
