This is why. Know I haven't posted in a while. Apologies. Work has been insane lately and tonight is the first night I sat down to work on my cafe project in a while. Tonight was "Strip the shitty wiring out so I can do my own" night.

After seeing this..... all I could think was "This is gonna be a long night."

Got it ALL THE WAY down to the running BARE essentials and will redo the wiring from there.

I don't know who or how many people have touched this bike but I found 2 killswitches, 5 wires soldered into each other, other wires that were stretched (as in 2 foot of wire ran just to connect a wire that could have been connected 2 inches back) and a spaghetti wiring HELL.

But at least I made progress.

I'm going to bed know. Hope everyone has at least got out to ride once or twice since the weather has warmed up.

Have a kick ass weekend

seems lik you are on the right track. A word of advice - use a lot of shrink tube and tape, you will want all your hard work to be water resistant if not waterproof.

good luck

yeah, that'll clean it up nicely too. i gotta figure out what kind of lights and turn signals i want though.

Anyone have any recommendations for a nice big headlight (like the stocker? my mount is broken) and turn signals that stick off the forks?

i always thought a repro lucas flamethrower would be pretty trick...on the right bike anyway!

i have some small signals that actually mount to the headlight posts. click on the thread in my sig and look at my front end set up on my RD, i have an extra set of those turn signals if you are interested.

LOL catboy that's some funny shit, i'll photoshop that on my bike sometime for shits and giggles.

i'll check out your thread 2smoke, thanks!

I was wondering where my bike and awesome wiring job ended up.

Was that wired by a kid?

Considering it's had a very large amount of owners (somewhere around 6) i'd say there is likelihood that many people have attempted to wire it lol.
