    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Is there anyone who attempted to buy a new (NOS) complete wiring harness or build one from scratch ?? mine seems to be near death all the conectors or almost are tarnished and the plastic to cover them is cracked.

I have a 1977 gs 750, I saw one for honda cb's but nothing for my bike.
I am okay to make one from scratch but I dont know where to start
 
I got two unmolested harnesses..50.00 each plus shipping.. Youll have to take a rag and some soap and water and wash the gunk off it, but they are completed and in great shape.
 
The harness is fine unless the wires are baked hard with cracking insulation, or melted more than several inches from the bad connections. Most of us have replaced the bad connectors that create a high contact resistance and burn the connections. All the connectors are available. If wires are melted together in the cable bundles, that is another story.
 
It's easy enough to make your own and you can do a much better job than they can in the factory. For the first time I'd try and stick pretty closely to the original wiring colours and patterns but if you do a plan beforehand you can use whatever colours you like (the challenge is to make oone using only a single colour.....).

All the bits you need are available (well they are here in the UK) and it shouldn't work out too dear.

Oh, and don't copy the original loom - put it together on the bike (so that everything fits)
