Finally - the device to control the turn signals and flasher lights arrived - along with separately ordered IP-67 waterproof push button switches to control the turn signals and hazard warning lights. They are now partially installed and the left rear turn signals operate.
I also moved the emergency electric cutoff switch's location in the dashboard today. After readjusting the shifter linkage, I decided that there was a possibility of inadvertently bumping the cutoff switch when shifting into 5th gear and shutting off the engine. This would not be a good thing:). Consequently the cutoff has been moved several inches to the right on the dash and the XR-S speedo/odometer/fuel gauge is placed where the cutoff switch was.
The KOSO XR-S electronic speedometer/odometer/trip odometer is also permanently installed on the dashboard, calibrated and tested. It utilizes 4 rare earth magnets inserted into the right front brake rotor mounting bolt heads and counts the number of times per second those magnets pass a sensor. From that information it can compute, display and store vehicle speed and miles traveled. It also has a fuel level display and low fuel level warning. Made for motorcycles but is a neat device for my D2.
The plan tomorrow is to finish wiring the turn signals and warning flashers in the rear and begin the installation of headlights and parking/turn signals in front.
