Would it be easier to find a wiring look you can live with?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_fr...+loom&_sacat=0 I had to do this on a CX500 I built from scratch.The parts bike's loom was so messed it it wasn't worth the effort. Just out of interest this is what that bike looked like when done. ![]() and how it started as a donor bike for my other, ![]() But of course I'm now riding this ![]() ![]()

I don't know if anything else is different, so will just tape one outlet up and take the feed from the other one. I think that will be easiest and reversible should the next owner want to convert it back?
Nice job on the CX!!! Last edited by Taipan; 13-04-17 at 10:34 AM. |

That is some dodgy diy'ing, not sure it could be done that badly if you tried

Thanks. I was actually able to fit everything inside the new headlight bucket without chopping up the loom, so it can still easily be returned to an S should a future owner want to. Sadly the pointless lug on the back of the bucket hit the headstock when turning to the right and cut through the indicator earth! ![]() ![]() |

Thanks. Sorted wiring out, put the headlight brackest on the right way up, moved handlebars back and adjusted switch gear and levers and finally adjusted gear lever height. I wanted to drop out the back wheel and check bearings and thoroughly clean the chain, but i have other jobs to do right now...

That really has been neglected
![]() Just to amend a previous post.I don't think I will be able to use my,"Vista" cruise control.Even if I fit a standard throttle shaft I think control clusters on the SVs would prevent it.Sent for a cheap,"Cramp Buster" to try but on long safe stretches of road I also use the,"Thumb-Over" technique for short periods to rest my throttle and clutch hands. This just means bringing the thumb on top of the throttle and not gripping it but using the palm/heel of the hand to hold position.As stated only useful on longer safe/empty stretches of road with no side-roads/turn offs that would require fast action but can give needed relief for short periods.
