Converting CB500K3 sub loom to fit K1
« on: April 03, 2024, 12:56:34 PM »
Wondering if anyone has already done?

My K1 sub loom is chopped about and multi connector to alternator missing.

Replica K3 subloom from Electrex I have does not appear to have inline fuse and starter solenoid wiring missing.

I can swap the starter wiring into new connector and wondered if anyone already converted one and has any tips?

Thanks

Maybe it would be easier to buy the 500K1 loom from Electrex World and sell off what you have 🤔🤔🤔

I was thinking of converting the sub-loom as image, but never got round to it.
Once you have the correct connectors, it's better to assemble a new unit

I couldnt see a K1 one on their site.

The one I bought was £35 and K1 on Ebay over £100
