Exclamation Help!

Can anyone tell me where I can get hold of automotive wire locally.
I wish to extend the wiring on the front of the bike so that I can hide the connectors/fuses.

Cheers

Ste.

Is there a Halfords nearby? They sell little rolls of it.

Thank you for the offer, much appreciated. This is a job which I want to do myself, kind of turning it into a hobby and a learning experience.

Getting a Haynes manual today funny enough. Had a look on the internet at some of the GSXR600 streetfighters and how they have managed to hide the cables, mind boggling stuff for someone who is not really knowledgeable on this stuff.
Had no idea for example that the length of cable seriously affects the amount of electrical power going to the lights etc.
Going to take some time but I reckon i'll do it without too many problems.

Ste.
