Thanks Rick,
Three items ordered off eBay came in together in today's mail. Allowed me to crack-on with installing the headlight/indicators to the girder forks. Particularly impressed with the black anodized cnc'd alloy headlight bracket which also features mounting holes for the indicators. I'm always happy with all the many Chinese-cnc'd parts I've used on various builds and have to wonder how they do them at the price. Even though I discarded the 4 x cnc'd metal clamps designed to fit 38-41mm tubular fork legs, the four-part mount was just what I needed to fit my vintage forks and well worth it.
Managed to snag a fat bike bottom bracket from the only UK seller listing one on eBay. Not sure yet, but I reckon I'll be fitting fixed pedals and merely using them as footrests.
As mentioned in an earlier post, this build is destined to be fully road legal here in the UK. It'll have to pass an MSVA test (Motorcycle Single Vehicle Application) after which I will register it with the DVLA and be allocated a license plate. For that reason, the lights/indicators are mandatory - unless registering a bike for daylight only use.
In an effort to keep the bars as tidy as possible, I've purchased and fitted a neat switch unit (pictured) which locates all the bike's functions (dipped/main beam, pilot light, left/right indicators, horn) on the left bar.
Next job is to hook-up the front brake and speedo cables. And fit a good 'ol analogue mph speedo.
