Taking it from a dirty, old bike to a clean old bike.

Chris... Nevermind... I believe I have you confused with another member....Sorry, Steve

I made the stupid mistake of thinking that I could remember where everything goes when re-assembling the bike. At my age, I don't remember what I had for breakfast, or whether I even had breakfast. Can someone tell me how to route the elect. harness back to the solenoid, and taillight stuff? Does it go under the frame and battery box, or over the frame, as it is in the pic? Also, what about the green ground wire under the tank bracket? Sorry.

Chris -
Harness runs along RIGHT side of main frame tube to the back of the back.

Have to leave for church now, but I can take a photo and post this afternoon if you can wait??

Thanks Bill. I hope you'll pray for me.

How do you remove the studs from the rear sprocket. I have the sprocket off. Do you just pound them out?

Chris, once the nuts are off, they'll tap out (They tend to get pretty "rusted" in, so I protect the threads with a block of oak and smack it!) Steve

 

[Chris Garrett]

Thanks. I'll whack them out. Also, does the chain guard have a grommet and spacer in the backmost hole?

Chris -

Here are some shots of how I routed my harness -

First, along the right side of the frame tube -

Then I dropped it just under the air cleaner cover grommet-

Then continued it under the rear grommet and back up between the fender and the seat support-

Though it's hard to see because of the carb and air cleaner, it drops down for the alternator hookup like this.
Actually, the wire that goes from the harness to the ground terminal of the battery will determine the exact placement for you. It's sort of short, so it will let you know where it needs to be, then the rest of it all just follows from there.

Hope this helps.....

 

[Chris Garrett]

Thanks Bill. That makes it pretty clear.

Hi Bill,

The photos you posted only came up as question marks?
I am in the same boat trying to remember which way to run my wiring harness. Any photos from anyone would help.

If you go to this site on page five through 6 I have pictures of my 450 before I striped it down, My bike was stock and un altered.
