CB400F Loom question (easy!)
« on: April 27, 2013, 05:12:15 AM »
Hi all,

Old loom a horrible bodge with twisted connections etc - now ripped out.  Can anyone please tell me how exactly the main loom green rear indicator earth wires terminate at the rear mudguard area? I expect female bullet, and same length as blue / orange L/R feeds.  Except I note, the indicator bodies have spade connectors built in, leading me to wonder if the main loom actually terminates in longer green (earth) leads with female spades.

If main loom terminates female bullets, can I assume there's yet a further short lead, ie green male bullet / female spade to connect loom to indicator.

Apologies, ... restoring the bits from afar, and working blind a little.

Ta, Lobo.

Hi,
4 fotos of the wiring on my machine (1975 restore)  - I used the loom that was there plus a look at the wiring diagram. The green wires end up 'spaded' onto the indicators stalks.
Whether this is right I don't know but it all works just fine.

That's exactly the same as my never restored 400f. 101% sure it's correct.

Andrew, Peter,

Fantastic, thanks. It appears then that the main loom earths are a little longer than the blue / oranges  (ie continue all the way to the indicators and with no intermediate bullet).

Can crack on now with correctly terminating the indicators.

(Old loom, sheesh... colours jumbled, 240V mains block connectors - enough to make a man weep)

Cheers,
Lobo.
