    making my own wire loom

    im getting started on making my own wire loom, (re building old one)
    i did this on my 77 kz650 and turned out great.
    ill post a pic (from ms paint) when im done for all you to see and tell me if i forget or wired somthing wrong.

    i dont like all these wires on bike and want the bare minimum to ride with
    it looks cleaner and easy to fix when a problem does occure

    i know i need

    head light
    tail light
    licence plate light (since it will be moved)
    break light
    rec/reg
    battery
    tach light (no speedo) i go by sound!
    and ignition (electric only) no kick start damn!
    and charging system

    i may keep oil light and neatural light not sure yet!
    ill have a first draft in a aday or so to post for all to see

    There have already been a few versions of a "simplified" harness posted, might find them with a search.

    Actually, it appears that you are only removing the turn signals and horn. Check with the vehicle regulations in your state, they might frown on not having stuff that was mandatory and originally on the bike when it was built.

    By the way, you will probably do better with a brake light instead of a break light.

          Sounds like a good project.

          I converted a 1000G harness to work on a 1000S. Once you strip the tape off the harness it's really not all that complicated to change things up. Shrink tube and a good pair of crimp pliers (or a soldering iron) are your best friend. Oh, and 3M brand electrical tape - Super 33+ stuff is thin and tough - good stuff.
