Default 122 Updates: Seat & Wiring

Thought I had better give an update, been busy at work. I finally got a new seat, but then the kids lost the key (they found my hiding spot). I went to a few hardware stores ,but ended up at a locksmith shop. He wanted $25 to make 1 key. I said, "No thank you, can I buy 3 blanks?" I took a triangle file and guessed, and $3.50 later, I now have 3 keys. During the loss of the keys, I had some work to be done. I tried to hot-wire it, but the PO had poorly installed some butt connectors that came apart. Decided to completely rewire the whole thing as a result of trying to pull the key-switch connector out far enough to jumper wire it. Also, While I'm running new wires, I added a few extra for headlights. I plan to add a two-way switch to either run the lights in series (1/2 brightness), or parallel (normal brightness). On the rear I plan to add another switch for a tail-light that will be on or flash with a trailer connector to pull my trailer on the street (parade duty). I do not like crimp connectors alone. I prefer to solder and use heat-shrink tubing. Here are some pictures! Enjoy!
