    OK Ive checked the wires inside the clocks can’t see anything out of place or any wiring insulation problems? … It was worth a look though to rule it out!

    While i’m on does anybody know if the small chrome bucket type shroud that covers the bottom yoke/triple tree,under the headlamp fitting is the same as the kz750 that was on the Z650? I need one and can only find 650 ones for sale?

    I woke up this morning far to early for a Sunday,with this electrical problem ,running around my head!

    I had a thought what if id trapped a couple of wires of the new bulb harness when I put the new ignition switch in? Maybe id caught a Brown wire and a black and yellow wire and pinched them together when I reassembled the unit?

    So at 5am this morning I found myself in the garage taking the clocks off the bike,and taking them inside,to be stripped down to check once id made a brew! I’m not that daft!

    The switch was bought of eBay,It said it was for a “IGNITION SWITCH FOR KAWASAKI Z750 B1 TWIN Z750 B2 TWIN (260290749994)” (yes I did troll through my purchase history to find the listing! to make sure?)
    Lucky my wife didn’t buy it? Id still be looking through her buying history!!It was a 4 wire switch with all the wires the same colors as the harness?

    But something isn’t right with it?
    As for the parking light! The only parking light I need is the light in my garage! If we have to loose it so be it!

    Thanks Michael.

    I mocked it all up on the bike so I could get an idea of what it would look like as well.

    Alas she is in more bits than that now as I still have to lacquer it all, and we had an electrical problem that I have left KK trying to work out? I have No Idea!when it comes to wiring!
    🙁

    So after removing the clocks and painting the clock mounting bracket,and removing the handlebar clamps for painting,also I got some new stainless steel mounting bolts.

    So this is much nicer than she was.
    Oh the cable tie on the clutch was because the clutch plates had stuck together! I got told to tie the clutch leaver in,to take the pressure off the plates and kick the bike over a couple of times to get oil over all of the plates again!& leave it over night!. It worked a treat! The clutch seams fine now!

    Here’s the body panels hanging on the line getting painted.
    Decided to stick with a near ish? color as to what the bike would have been when new? Saves me changing the color on the log book.

    Think its update time, Ive been away for a couple of days but, Ive not been slacking.

    Started to get some paint down on the panels,I’m no body work specialist,but then again I can’t afford to pay for a professional paint job either. So needs must and all that!
