Hey thanks Running, looking forward to seeing your finished work too. I think i will relocate the shift lite to under the cowl, i'm going to order a 4" fiberglass hood this winter, the yellow lens cover makes it hard to see, even at night, and without it on there, the light is way too bright at night, haven't raced it but with a 5000 rpm pill it comes on fairly quick just messin around on the road,
