lol..trust me i understand....

So I had a couple hours to spare today and got to work on the bike.


Let the de-cluttering begin!


Went through the bucket and sorted it out and labeled all the wires so I know what they go to.
Even though I will probably be tearing it all out anyway, it makes me feel better having them all organized.


And then its gone. Glad I got it done though, it was a productive night seeing how I havent done anything in quite a bit.

I took my swing arm to a welder and just said I need this extended 3 3/4 inches, cost me 75 bucks and it's been a runner now for 7 years. Don't tell 'em it's for a bike....that's the key, I believe.

[lobstermobster]

damn thats not too bad at all. What would I tell them it is for then? Im sure they would ask.

Just getting into the same area my self. Thinking I'm most likely going to rip it all out and try to do it up a little cleaner

[paleface]

i am doing pretty much the same thing to my kz, as of yet i have cut the ass off mine in the same place and cut the stock tank up. it makes an awesome shaped tank if you take out a pie wedge from about 3.5 inches in the back up to a point at the front. ill try and post some pics of it tonight.

it's seeming to take a life of it's own.
i think i need to stop looking at pictures of other peoples bikes.

too many people doing too many cool things

[paleface]

and do you guys know if anyone has a more streamlined wiring diagram?

somebody has been fucking around in mine before i got it and it's a mess

I drew one up for mine but i'll have to scan it and add it here. Basically I have a 30amp circuit breaker, a 40amp bosch relay (starter, ditched the clunky solenoid chingadera), a 30a bosch hdlt relay, and a 30a bosch coil relay. Go to http://wgcarbs.com and check out their tech section on how and why you add a coil relay to these bikes. I also kept my key switch just to save some cabbage. But I put a starter buttton (no need for high amp since using a relay 5-10amp fine), and a hdlt switch. Also check out http://oregonmotorcycleparts.com for rectifier/regulator if yours is no good.

haha. I need to read up on my shit. Everything you just said, Wompy, sounded like blahblahblah to me. but cut me some slack im new to this.
I just want as little wires as possible. headlight, taillight. im putting the ignition key switch, on/off, and light switch down below in the seat area.

dudes I got the skinned down version wiring harness diagram, super simple and eliminates the starter all together , which is good for you rock lobster mobster because its all bla bla bla anyway right. The only thing is I made it in a pdf file so I cant post on here. I actually did a tw opiece removing the harness and skinning it down. then redoing it for simplicity with eliminating all the stuff other than whats neccesary.

[paleface]

i would love to see it. although since my bike does not have a kicker i might have to improvise.

[WOMPY]

Here's a shot of my relay box blablablablablablabla

[lobstermobster]

same here with no kicker. def need the starter

[dirtyd]

no problemo, I got one for the electric start too although its from a key switch mounted to the frame not from the bars , too easy. Man Wompy your shit looks insane bla bla bla !!!!!

[dirtyd]

trying to scan the diagrams now, see what happens ??

ok no go on transferring a scan to photobucket, if you guys let me know who wants to see it i can e mail it to you. its done just cant get it on the site, if there is someone who knows how to convert it or post it let me know i will send it to you and you can post up for me thanks, im not a wizard at this posting stuff by any means, sorry fellas. thanks again.

[paleface]

[dirtyd]

[lobstermobster]

[dirtyd]
