Stator Installation/Wiring

Prudent approach

Thanks, Jim. I have drawn it out on paper and it is an extremely simple fix. And would get rid of that rat's nest of wires currently on the bike.

I'm all for clean wiring if the op can get it done. Properly mounted eking puts less stress on the individual wires and keeps them from flexing and promotes a longer life. Less likely to pinch or ground out wires.

I just got the distinct impression it was over the op head and from the looks of it at lt looked like at least a serviceable rats nest. If you can help him get it cleaned up that would be better for sure.

I sent mike a jpeg this morning. I made it as simple but as complete as possible, including the connection type for each wire. I believe it is within mike's skill set to perform.

You guys are awesome! Thanks again, George for the drawing. I'm going to get on it this weekend as I have the entire weekend free. I'm ready to get Hulk going again! I think it is a do-able feat; with some patience, diligence, and guidance from your drawing, I am confident I'll get it done. Wish me luck! I'll get back to you guys this weekend if I need any additional help. Thanks again!

So, im out here looking at the wiring between my r/r and my stator, and noticed that i seem to have somewht misinformed everyone. Now. There are two wires that go to the headlight bucket that the PO has intermingled into the stator and r/r wiring. One is white woth red lines to which he had hooked into the plug from the r/r, and the second wire is white with green stripes to which he had one of the stator wires hooked up to. Nyone have any idea what these are for? I juat dont want to bypass them and screw things up. I have the drawing to go by, i just want to make sure it wont mess the charging system, or anything else for that matter, up by bypassing these two wires

Bypass everything he has and wire it exactly like the diagram I sent you. As we have mentioned before, he created a rat's nest. Your goal, should you choose to accept it (Mission Impossible reference) is to untangle the rat's nest and make sense of everything you have on your bike.
Just follow my diagram to charging system nirvana.

We live on being misinformed! go here and study - depending on your R/R, you might ignore the orange wire

You want to wire stator wires direct to R/R and bypass the wires that ran to headlight switch

Edit: ignore this post if it conflicts with kk's diagram

Then that is how it will be! Much appreciated, friends.
