Need Help With 72 Cb750 chopper Wiring

and you can also go to http://hondachopper.com/

both have good honda tech.

What exactly are you needing help with? I wired mine about a year ago by using some diagrams and trial-n-effort method. I'd be glad to walk you through if you're stuck. I wired mine as kick only and bare essentials....

I used the simplified wiring diagram on hondachopper its actually really easy to wire; only thing i change is that i didn't wire up horn! If you sit there and try to mentally wire the bike up then that's when it gets frustrating.

That's a good diagram because it not a "traditional" wiring diagram. My issues came up because I used a combo rectifier unit, no key switch, no blinkers, no starter, no horn, etc. I thought the alternator would be the hardest part, but it turned out to be the brake switch/tail light that I had the most trouble with...go figure. Glad you got it going, if ever get stuck on it hit me up.

Here is one for you

right on!!!! all those diagrams are great! thank all of u guys i will be gettting started today, the bike has all the electrical there as far as i can tell for lights blinkers and everything it has just been hacked up! i would like to get just the headlight at taillight running for now,im about to put a new battery in, this will be my first time doing anywiring by myself so im sure it willl be slow and frusterating

the font web site is awesome! stoked to know about it know thank you very much!
!

i just rewired my cb 400, was a bit of a task but i got it all working. one thing i learned the hard way was dark green is/was ground! the black wire was power. goes against everthing i learned in automotive wireing. but i a have directionals and head and tail light. got rid of alot of the extra wires and shorted up the rest! hope your project goes well for ya!! fuzzy

does anyone know where i can find a basic or regualer wiring diagram for my 72 kawi trail boss 100?????

Here is a mock up of mine when I first wired my Cb750. As you can see I run my coils in the box and my reg/rec out side.

cool cool thanks a bunch guys appreciate it -david

do you ground the start button out??

Wired a 72 myself from scratch. I used this diagram and everything worked 100%.

I'm wanting to run a basic on/off toggle instead of a key switch. I'm stuck on wiring up the switch, but also the start button itself. Any help would be appreciated!

rynev33- make sure you wire in a kill switch to the coils or it will continue to run after you shut off the power from the battery.

Im having some problems with my bike and its time to re wire it, whats a good source for various electrical parts. Starter solenoid,, regulator/rectifier ? Alll I can. To find is universal reg/rec in one. How do I go about. Wiring that up?

E-bay is always a good bet but can be expensive nowadays.
As for the reg/rec wiring its always best to have a manual to hand with a diagram in it.I always use Honda reg/recs on my Suzukis as they are more reliable.
Not hard to wire in but always safest to check a good diagram
