Yeah, we shoulda been there too. We even got a fairly early start. I won't go into the reasons why, but the reality is that we are about 90% done and we're trying to finish them up now before it gets hot.

Now I have this electrical problem.

Two new items (four actually, two each) came in the mail today. A solid state flasher so the turn signals blink at a normal rate, and a blue LED to use as the high beam indicator.

I wanted to have a blue high beam indicator in the stock headlight bucket, but there isn't much room between the headlight innards and the shell. I found these tiny and flat blue LED thingies that will take up almost no space at all inside the bucket. I already have them wired into the high beam wiring. They may be too bright.

Here's a video showing turning the key to on, which then shows the flash rate, and the blue LED I'm holding.

The piece of metal is just some scrap from the shop. The hole in the top lines up with the existing threaded hole, and the bottom is just a bolt and nut fit through a hole in the bottom of the battery box.

I too had no faith in holding the igniter in place with just tape. So I trimmed down the stock bracket that the rubber sleeve slides onto, pop riveted the modified bracket to the battery box, and slipped the sleeved igniter onto the bracket. Neat, clean and simple.

Yes. The solenoid and controller have been removed, and the RYCA linkage has been installed.

update Nov 2012 -- quite a bit of fiddling is involved in getting that linkage to operate smoothly, not rattle, and to make sure the exhaust valve is allowed to fully close.
