New DC-DC Converter Installed

The Astrodyne SD100C finally showed up, and with the family out of the house I was able to spend the time necessary to figure out how to mount the larger converter, and then re-do the DC-DC wiring.

To mount the converter, I ended up cutting up the sides of the battery box to mount the converter lengthwise, with the terminals now external to the box.

I then created "+" and "-" studs out of 5mm bolts mounted in the plastic battery box, allowing me to fuse the 12 Volt output at a single place (versus previous spaghetti) and clearly organize the 12 Volt positive and negative leads.

New Features:

• The 12 volt system is now isolated from the drive system, upgrading the safety to the 12 volt appliances.
• The light switch is now only active when the motor controller is activated. Leaving the light in the on position now behaves like a "real" motorcycle (light on when engine active).
• Cleaned up wiring, use of 2 distinct "studs" for wiring 12 volt parts.
  
• Removal of the "IC Ignitor" box of the motorcycle. Evidently I don't need it, everything worked when I unplugged it, worst case it might have been sucking power. I need to start a "for sale" section for spare parts.
