Has anyone made a wiring harness?
I was wondering, has anyone ever made a wiring harness, I was looking through the diagram and whatnot, and it's an incredibly simple harness, has anyone ever like, remade or rebuilt one for their bikes?
I mean, it doesn't seem like it would be too difficult, just that my bike has been sitting outside before I got it for oh say, 7-8 years, and in all reality, the wires are probably close to rotting from the inside-out at this point. I also figure before I dish out $60 for a new stator, might as well eliminate this as a culprit.

Yea, I figure I'd need to use the CDI one from the bike the others are just, well, they're called tamiya bullet connectors in the R/C world :P, I'd most likely use power-poles though, since the offer no resistance :P.
Yep, the problems is finding the connectors, and they are most of the failures. Ive rebuilt the R harnesses, and designed and made harnesses for industrial machines.
The copper wire in old harnesses tends to oxidise and become difficult or impossible to solder.
Then if you find a new CDI plug, the old terminals on the CDi are also worn,.

Yea, that's why I was probably gonna use R/C car connectors, they seem to work well for these types of applications, since they are made to run high-heat and in water and whatnot. Something along the lines of these connectors, since they can inter-connect and pair up to make a big connector. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXD176&P=ML

I plan on building my own harness for my KXF326 because I'll be using a PVL ignition system and a Honda 450R killswitch. I'll also be eliminating the lights and key switch. The diagram below is a modified Tecate-4 schematic, which is what I'll be basing mine on.

I need a wiring harness for a 1979 honda 110 3 wheeler, I want to make it run so bad again,
How can I build up a set of wiring harness? or buy a used one here?
anyone?
Do you have the wiring diagram? If not there is one on the main page. It looks like an easy harness to make, I was going to make one for mine. I don't remember it using any special plugs only the common round conectors.

I built a new harness for my 200S. I used the OEM CDI connector and just soldered/heat shrink all the other wires. The only connector I have is the CDI...
Harness are easy to make, like stated before just get the plugs for the diffrent electrical componets that require a plug. I prefer to make mine because i use the same color code on everything. then if i have a problem, it is very easy to diagnose. Also you can upsize the wire. Factory harness's usaully use the smallest wire they can get away with.
Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

lol...this reminds me of the lifan harness I made.
6 hours or so making the harness according to the directions. 1 hour of no spark and testing. 10 minutes of getting pissed off, hacking it up and making something that I knew would work.

I'll need you when it will be the time to wire my YTM-225. Wanna came down and help me. I'll pay you a real beer.
