I’m really feeling the intensity of the pandemic these days.
I find myself wondering, “Is it okay to be doing motorcycle repairs at a time like this…?”
The economy matters, but health comes first.
By the way, have you noticed that logistics are starting to slow down?
Lately, things I order don’t arrive tomorrow or the day after…
It makes me wonder if what used to be taken for granted—next-day delivery—was actually excessive and not really normal at all.
I don’t think everything will go back to how it was before the pandemic, so we need to develop strategies for the post-pandemic world if we’re going to survive.
I’ve been spending money on various things lately and setting everything up, so work is running a bit behind.
I installed the handlebar lock, and sure enough, it wouldn’t fit.
The positional relationship between the key and frame was slightly off.
I filed down the tip a bit and got it inserted successfully.
USB installation is complete.
For USB, I recommend the DAYTONA motorcycle-specific power supply, 5V/2.1A USB×1, model 93039.
The power runs through the Honda Forza fuse box this time.
ETC power is complete. Now I just need to figure out where to mount it.
I’m curious whether this indicator has both red and green lights or if they switch between them… I’d love to take it apart and see.
If I figure it out, I could put it in the meter indicator and have all kinds of fun with it.
The main power goes into the starter relay with five circuits. There’s one more circuit, so I might force it to use that… or maybe I don’t need it.
It’s short, but we’re making steady progress.
