Fuel filler hose + tidying electrics

Tonight I fitted the fuel filler hose.  This was the ultra flexible type from CBS which comes with the necessary paperwork stating it is ok to use with petrol - this is needed for the IVA. I had already cut this to length (about 150mm) but forgot to fix it to the filler cap when I put the rear panel on which meant I had to remove the filler cap to fit in position.

It is an IVA requirement for the filler cap to be tethered.  To do this I used the old cable from the GSXR pillion seat release and looped it through a small hole at the end of the filler cap.  This cable was then trapped in position by the filler hose.  Once in position it was secured with two jubilee clips.

I also tidied a bit more of the electrics using split tube and loom tape.  Only the offside rear light cables left to sort now.
