I am deeply confused as to why my wires aren’t matching up. Any ideas? Please see the photos of the controls and wiring that came with my 1975 Honda CB200T. I feel like there are way mores wires than or needed in the left hand control, there just aren’t enough ports to plug them all in. Any help...

So, I'm not in over my head and over budget with my CB200T build. I'm not much of an electrician, and from what I can tell the harness that is on the bike is not in the condition it needs to be in. Obviously, the easiest solution is to buy a complete wiring harness and plug and play. Is this...

Hey all, I'm working on my first bike/project on a '74 CL 450 and I need to connect all the wiring in the front end but it feels so daunting. I have the wiring diagrams but none of the wires are labeled and the colors are kinda faded. I feel lost when trying to start. Any tips or advice on...

My tail/brake light does not respond to my brake switch(es). I've checked connectivity from switch to light, etc. and played with backing off the switches, nothing changes the behavior of the taillight. When the bike is on, taillight is on. Notably, the "park mode" or key in the second ignition...

Hey y’all, I’m trying to trouble shoot an issue at idle where I hear an audible click and the engine shuts off. It sounds almost like an electrical short or something but I pulled the tank and checked all the wiring to find nothing. Are there any shutoffs I might be unaware of related to the...

I am in need of new controls with good wiring for my cb350 k3. Working condition, but exterior doesn’t have to be perfect. Need the controls with the clutch/brake lever attached. I’ve searched eBay and found nothing in decent condition. Please PM me with what you have! thanks!

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...

Hello: I'm new to this and troubleshooting on an old bike is a bit challenging. I have followed some earlier threads that are close to the problem I'm having — My current taillight is not original, it's a recent purchase and styled to look vintage. When all the wires are plugged in, the it is...

I’ve worked out the proper lithium-ion battery size that will work with the Rick’s set. It’s a Shorai LFZ14A2-BS12 (14ah). I’ve designed a battery box in Adobe Illustrator that will work with no modification to the bike frame. Features a designated box to hold the Shorai BS-12 size battery...

I am currently building a cafe racer out of a 1972 cb350 twin. And I run all LED lights and a a Ricks Rectifier and Regulator hooked up. As of right now I making a wiring harness. I would like to run a main wire direct to the battery to the Ignition switch and then to my fuse box so everything...

Where to start, I guess you'll probably need to know what bike this post refers to... 1978 CB400T HawkII -TLDR at bottom- Bought it as a project a couple years ago, with little to no experience and expectations through the roof. Since then I've got it to start and idle, although not...

Bought this bike awhile back with a seized engine. Swapped it out with and engine out of a cl but swapped the rotor and stator our of the cb. I’m lost on how to hook up all the engine wires. Sorry new to vintage motorcycles.

I've got a cb400t here that is all fully restored and ready to hit the road and just the other day I noticed that the brake wires that attach to the handbrake (front brake) got stripped out of the casing that they were in. When I got the bike it was already wired up to the handlebars so I didn't...

I recently dumped all my wiring into a bucket under the seat.... or what I could get into it. Everything works and runs except the brake light. Mystery. It worked up till the mod. I traced the green/yellow and black wire to the brake swtich/spring to their proper mates in the main harness but...

Okay, The brake light works normally, but the tail light only comes on when the ignition key is all the way to the right. the attached pic shows two open wires (unconnected) running to the rear end, I don't know if that would have something to do with it. everything else electrical seems to...

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, hope you guys can help me out. I searched the forum, but no luck. So I'm trying to help a friend with his project. It's a custom trike with a '92 CB250 Nighthawk engine. The wiring is just hacked up bits and pieces, and I need help getting it wired to run. I have a wiring...

Greetings Honda people! As promised in my introduction this will be my first project for my 85 rebel--fixing the wiring the PO so graciously dismembered for me! So lets start with the spaghetti left by this meatball: Mama Mia! All I wanted to do was remove the electronic speedo/tach that he...

I was going to set the point timing today when I noticed something odd. The left point is connected to a yellow wire and the right point is connected to a blue wire. In every diagram I've seen of the ignition coils it's just the opposite - the left coil connects with a blue wire and the right...
