Thanks G-Man. Sunday evening I dug out some handle bar switches, took a couple for each side to make up two working switches. Those are now installed. Wiring is almost completed. I don't have the correct tail light but have found a short lens '62 era unit, guess that will do as it's as close as I get!

I may have some pieces to make one. I know I have like 50 new lenses, but I may have backing plate parts, unless they went on my 61, not sure....I'll check.

I remember you picking that setup in Corvallis but thought it went on your '61. All I have is a lens and hell I don't even know where that's at. I came up with 3 short '62 lenses and don't recall how ended up with that many! If you find something let me know. Still don't have a clear vision where I'm going with this bike!

I've probably got 50 of those "rare" 61 lens. Reminds me of the bags of blue CB92 flaps that Ed had (super rare, but nobody had the bike they went on). That frame may be the one that ended up on my 61, I'll just need to look (getting foggy in my old age)....

Good to see all this inspirational progress. Must be nice to have all those good 'extra' parts around!
