Nice! Where did you get the gray sleeving? I bought some on eBay (US) a while back but haven't seen any since.

G, Vintage Connections has it, in all different sizes. I bought everything I needed to repair the wiring from them.

Nice job on the harness. I did the same thing but purchased from a company called Cable Ties and more. http://www.cabletiesandmore.com/heatshrink.php They had everything I needed and it turned out pretty dang good. I also purchased some silicone type tape wrap at Home Depot that when you wrap it just melds together.

Thanks to Graham for this! I've got the rear 3/4's of the frame stripped. Now to remove the lift handle, center stand, and fork assembly, and I can finish the fron 1/4. I plan to have it in etch primer by tomorrow.

Looking good!

Nice to see heat (and a lot of effort from you) working its magic. You just have to be careful not to lean on the frame when you admire your work... :-( Don't ask how I know that but the burn scar took a while to heal..
