Wiring Harness,Electrical Components, Tires and Wide Whitewall and Fixing the Exhaust System


Time in Garage 0
Money Spent- around $800

Last week I took the plunge and purchased a 12 circuit wiring harness from Hot Rod Wires along with a component package, turn indicator switch, ignition switch, cut off switch, wire covering and light switch with built in dimmer. Total bill including freight around $550. The package should be delivered to my door around June 5th...customer service has been great so far. I am looking forward to the challenge of wiring up the Triumph..

I also spent $250 for two new tires and a set of 2" wide whitewalls that get mounted in the wheel bead. Cost is about $80 for the 4. Hopefully my local tire shop has experience with these inserts. There are YouTube videos to show how it is done.

I took my exhaust system back to the muffler shop and got them to expand the pipe so the down pipe fits easily into the rest of the system so I have space to adjust one I get it installed. They did the modification for free and I appreciated it...

There has been no time or energy for garage work in the last week...
