Got a green chain! Looks good. Having trouble getting the nut off of the flywheel. The nut is right handed meaning I have to turn it counter-clockwise right?
I gotta find a fly wheel holder locally. I have been trying to stick things in the rear wheel to help hold it, but the nut is on there tight!

Kind of disappointed in the trail tech switch! The cable is supper short and it comes straight off the bottom which is just an awful design. Thus the worst part of ordering things online.

OiL wrench from wally world did the job!
I didn't take the mount that holds the coils on, off. Didn't see a reason too. Only thing I'm regretting now is not taking a picture to see which direction the coil was mounted lol I can't remember. I know which way I wound it but not if the solder joints are facing the motor of the fly wheel. I feel like it is the fly wheel though lol.
Bike is coming together nicely. Soon as I am done with the coil, only have to wire the entire bike and put it all back together then start on jetting. Anyone have a cheap source on hear shrink?

harbor freight has some decent shrink tubing in a package for like 2 bucks and you get assorted kinds. For what they want at advance and such here I usually can get like 5 packages for the same price of their one. Did the kdx with it and also the brute force and my ranger with them. Work pretty good but like anything harbor freight I usually keep on eye on it just to be sure but so far after a year no probs.

Fry's, if there is one near you, I guess you could always have it shipped to. It's about 1.49 for 2', depending on size (diameter). Just about any color that you could want also.

I got the coil rewound and put back on the bike. I am wanting to seal the coil first before putting the flywheel on. Pretty sure the fly wheel clears the coil from what I could see. Couldn't feel it scrubbing it either.
What kind of glue or epoxy would you use for a light coat?
Do you guys have any pictures of your custom wiring jobs? Just trying to get some ideas on the connectors, tie down spots, etc..
Close to having what I have had in mind for the bike!
