    Not much point Tom, my supplier is in New Zealand, as am I.

          Nightengale, you asked what electrical could be removed from the bike, the basic wiring diagrams I have done (and linked to) show what is required for basic electrics chop to run. The chop diagram has twin headlights coz the customer asked for them, I advised against running twin 55/60W bulbs, simply remove them from the diagram.
          do you still have that diagram in full size that you might be able to send me?

              thanks for the help, i have a friend that specializes in building wiring harness to help this weekend, and i am going to use your diagram and it will have a single headlight.
