Wiring harness
So this was a two day ordeal. Making things fit in places never designed for them is just a blast...let me tell you.:doah:I did use the frame tube to run multiple lines from head to tail--there's an inch plus gap on each end and there is no strain on the wires, they just sit there.
Everything is wired in parallel and all starts with the voltage regulator under the seat. The primary lead had to come up from the AC coil through the switch on the control panel, then individually feed the brake light switch to brake light, tail light and back up to the head light (three separate feeds). The ground is also on the front of the engine and it's fed down to the regulator, then tail/brake light and back up to the head light. There's a mini fuse on the AC primary feed and on the DC battery charge side. Every thing is soldered--tedious work--and heat shrink used where possible. I used bullet connectors a lot and they are all soldered. Zip ties and electrical tape had to be used up under the seat because sometimes simpler is better. The engine will pop off with just two simple disconnects.
Several connections are in the headlight bucket to hide the rat's nest.
Bullet connectors are soldered in place, and sealed with tape/heat shrink tubing.
As progress was being made...with the monthly coffee cup.
I used mini fuses. Here's the business end all buttoned up, zip tied and taped so it's hidden.
Cleaned up and zip tied the cables, solenoid wire and primary wire.
Tail light (and brake light works)
Headlight..all tested with a battery.
Fuel tank and lines, throttle cable and seat are next.
