February 1-11, 2020.

I'm not getting much done. School work takes priority. I've been getting my 15 minutes each day though!

I repaired the rear tail light wires (that I scavenged from my "trailer"). I heat shrinked any areas that were worn or had trailer light clamp on connectors. I used some wire loom material I had laying around to protect it for the next 50 years.

I looked at my options for adding a rear dome light, a couple of USB charging ports, and maybe a plug in for a spot light/work light.

Feb 11. I connected the wire harnesses back as they are supposed to be. I have hazard lights, turn signals, brake lights and tail lights in the rear. Some of the dash lights work, others do not. It is probably the wore out (what ever the thing is that acts like a printed circuit board) behind the dash insert. The turn signal indicator for one side worked, the other did not, switch the bulbs and the same result on the other side, switched it back, and neither work. that is a project for another day.
The gas gauge is acting wonky as well. there is at least a 1/2 tank of gas, and the gauge says 1/4 tank. I need to fill it up and see how it acts. I did mess with the ground some to triple check that it was good. I also added another ground between the body and frame.
