  1. Electrical Issues
    I recently got my 1981 CM200 running and replaced the incorrect 12V electrical parts (rectifier, bulbs, and flasher unit) with 6V parts. I was very happy to see that the turn signals are now working, BUT the headlight and brake light flash in unison with the signals. Anyone know what is going...

    Hi All, My '81 Honda CM400E has an annoying problem where the headlight won't turn on. The bulb is fine (plugged it into battery and it lights up), all other electrical components are fine, except for the blue high beam light on the dash, which doesn't come on even if I fiddle with the highbeam...

    I've recently been looking into upgrading my headlight from the old dim as hell halogens. Maybe shoving a 4" pod led from amazon into the original bucket/lens assembly? I know leds are generally more power-efficient in comparison to halogens, but could there be any power concerns if I ran a...

    I have a new-to-me 1971 cl175 that is missing the headlight lens. Searching online parts sites I see the headlight for my cl175 is part number 33120-307-671 and is not available anywhere besides cmsnl for $$$. The same year cb175 uses headlight part number 33120-292-673 and is widely available...

    Hi guys, recently purchased a 1979 CM400t. Earlier I was trying to install rear turn signals but when I was fiddling with the wiring, I noticed when I would bump the wires that connect the tail light to the rest of the wiring the tail light would go out. The previous owner wrapped the wires with...

    Hi folks. I took a ride in the dark the other night on my Hawk II and quickly realized just how much better a modern lighting system is compared to a 42 year old sealed beam. I was thinking about ways to improve it, I would like to find a way to fit an LED lamp, I was thinking I would use a kit...

    I am replacing the switch with an aftermarket switch. The current switch has 8 wires. There is a Blue, White, Brown, Yellow, White/Yellow, Black/White, and 2 black wires. Here is what I know... The Blue wire is the high beam and the White wire is the low beam to the headlight. The Brown is...

    New to the forum, and also new to motorcycles! (3 months riding) The bulb in my headlight has burnt out. I am not used to dealing with sealed beam headlights. I have been looking online and am having a hell of a time finding a replacement. I am open to replacing it with a newer halogen bulb...

    My 76' CB360t is unresponsive despite a full battery charge and new fuses. I'd had issues for a while due to an improper headlight (H4 55/65W) but just replaced it with a new H4 35/35W. In tracking down that power draw I'd replaced the rectifier/regulator with the Sparck "12V Single Phase...

    Recently got my CB450 back from the mechanic, and he mentioned that the tail light wiring was wacky. I discovered the taillight and the low beam headlight don’t work (However the brake light, turn signals and high beam DO work) I’ve attached a photo to see if anyone can spot something obvious...

    I converted my CM185 over to 12v except the headlight. Anyone know of an after market one that fits?

    I've been looking through the forums for a while now but decided to join to ask some questions. Long story short, i dropped my bike avoiding a car and banged it up pretty well. I broke the right turn signal, bent the front fender and the rear brake pedal, and need a new headlamp and bucket. I've...

    Bought a new HALO headlight and LED turn signals for my '76 CB360t. After installing them, the LED's would come on but wouldn't flash. Installed an LED flasher and now they'll flash. The only problem is that they only work when the headlight is turned off. Not sure if it's an issue of power...

    Installed a new headlight from superbrightleds on my wife's 80 CB400T today. Fit right in after I squished the wiring around some, and plugged directly in. No adhesives, no fabricating anything, just plug it in and squeeeeeeze it in there. I haven't wired the "DRL" bars on the top and bottom...

    Hi All, It's been a while since I contributed to the forum, and I'm definitely sad about it. I started out with my '70 CB350 rebuild, made a video and everything. I carted the disassembled darling a few hours north to my brother's well equipped garage with the intention of having more resources...

    The headlight on my cm450e went out the other day. I took the replaced the bulb and still have no light, it seems that the headlight receptacle has a burnt area, and has melted some plastic, could this be the cause of the problem? if anybody has any knowledge about this I'd really appreciate it...
