Well not much progress this week. Spent most the week working on building a lift. I have enough back issues without having to bend over or set in the floor to work on it. This evening I did wrap up the shifter conversion. I guess it's permanent, for a while now anyway.
For some reason the board started rotating my pics? No idea what's up with that.

Back to the bike mods. Hard to find stuff to do while keeping it rideable. Had to adjust the chain this morning so I was looking around and noticed the chain cover was boring. So I started drilling.

Did the previous owner modify the frame? It looks like there is an odd angle on one of the backbone tubes (see yellow circle). Ed

Here's what it's supposed to do --

If the filament in the high bean bulb fails, the low beam automatically turns on to keep the headlight lit.

If the filament in the low bean bulb fails, the high beam automatically turns on -- at slightly reduced voltage -- to keep the headlight lit.

The slightly reduced voltage when automatically switching to high bean is to reduce the risk of blinding any oncoming traffic.

Good Fortune! :)
