Electrical Question
« on: March 23, 2018, 09:37:59 PM »
I'm not using the starter motor on the CR Rep as I've got the narrow Electrex alternator and the starter gear has to go. So question is what size wire can I get away with for the earth strap from the battery and the positive from the battery to the fuse box as max current draw will be from projector headlight and ignition? Using a small Shorai lithium battery under the seat hump.
Current Bikes:-
Honda CB750K2 (1975)
Honda CB500K2 (12/1972)
Honda CR750 Replica (1972)
Honda CB350K0 (1969)
Kawasaki ZZR1100D3 (1995)
Kawasaki ZZR250 (1990) Project (Going on eBay ASAP)

Earth wire I would leave as original as it wont matter or get in the way of anything else, positive neds to be same size as the wire from fuse to loom as that is the one that carries all the load except starter

Thanks Bryan - that'll be part of the weekend jobs - if I can find all the cable fittings I bought 6 months ago and put away safe somewhere!
