Now for the part I actually enjoy doing… the wiring! I am building this loom completely from scratch, save for things like the handlebar switches, although I am replacing the outer sheathing as it was tatty. I know this is something a lot of people struggle with but over the years I have developed a system… I start with a design in my head and I put it down in rough on my Ipad, using an Ipencil which I find brilliant. then I transfer it to visio, which I print out and add the colour of wires on as I go along. I don’t try to it all on one diagram like in workshop manuals, but keep separate pages for different circuits like lights, indicators, ignition… I also create tables of key components where they have pin outs.
All this is put into the build folder which I always pass on when I sell the bikes.
I have a nice crimp tool which is normally sufficient, but if I am in any doubt I put a dab of solder on the joint. I also don’t use pre insulate connectors, instead I put 20mm of heat shrink on which makes a nice joint, and the heat shrink also supports the joint. If you use the glue lined heat shrink, it also makes the joint waterproof. this is of course if I am not using super seal connectors which are not only excellent, but also cheap! and finally, I use the most useful little kit, which has tools for removing all types of pins from connectors!

I like this hydrographics, I may do my helmet soon, there are some nice films out there! here is a link to a 2 min video of how its done in the back garden with an Ikea box! if you don't like fake carbon... don't click the link!

sorry to disappoint!
I have done the dipping a few times now... the key seems to be get the water to 65-70 degrees... make sure the film is the right way up (don't ask me how I know that!) and don't spray too close, and wet it out until it shines like glass and stop. Oh, and think about the angle of dip to prevent voids. here is the results now they are clear coated...

Really top notch work there.
it's not often you find mechanical techs up to speed with electrical schematics and electrical work In general
Not sure I like the look of the end product though, sorry about that. I'm still liking sports bikes.
Best of luck |
