I was starting to prepare things for painting the rear of the frame when I decided to double check if anything else needed to be welded up. The ignition! To mount the ignition back up near its original place with the clocks would be a shame – it would ruin the new clean look. Instead, the ignition switch will be placed just under the right side of the rear of the tank – in the corner of the frame triangle. It looks like it would be in the way of your legs when riding it, but its not even close. I will fab up a bracket and weld it in place on the inside of the frame – so the welds are not visible. I will also try to weld here as little as possible (using as little heat as possible) – I don’t want to upset the frames/metals quality/characteristics in such a critical area – at the joint of the frame.
