My plan was to actually run the horn off 4xAA batteries housed in the headlight bucket. Had wired the entire thing up but when I hit the button, the horn briefly sounded then wouldn't come on again. Checked all the wires, continuity and voltage and it was all fine.
Then tested against the SLA battery instead and found that it worked perfectly.
Would have maybe put more time into troubleshooting the 4xAA solution, but housing the battery box in the headlight seemed clunky. Probably better off just doing up the loom with all the splits.
Got a few bags of connectors anyway, so I've got everything I need now. To be continued...
Then set about torquing everything I could on the frame. Went well with 3 exceptions:
- The steering stem nut I'm using for Ivy is 30mm and the big socket I have is only 29mm. Other stem nuts are 29mm so I must have only used it for those.
- The right side top fork bolt is spinning.
- One of the rear flange bolts is spinning (marked it with red X)
Aside from that, here are the torque specs, which I also created a half-sheet file for:
- Steering Head
- Front axle nut (17mm) = 22
- Handlebar lower bolts = 17-22 (didn't do these)
- torque in this order
- Lower fork bolts (14mm) = 13-18
- Top fork bolts (23mm) = 25-33 (only left was torqued)
- Steering stem (29 or 30mm) = 58
- Rear Suspension
- Swing arm (17mm) = 22-25
- Rear axle nut (17mm) = 22-29
- Rear sleeve nut (23mm) = 29-36
- Rear flange bolts (14mm) = 14-18
- Rear cushions (14mm) = 18-25
