I'm trying to fit my new Koso multifunction gauge and daytona speed sensor but have cone across a few queries. First one, is there a permanent live in the headlight I can tap power from?
The three wires from the speed sensor don't correspond with the three from the gauge, they must be live signal and earth I presume but I've no way of knowing which is which on the koso side so any way of finding out would be great.
Then there is the rpm signal that I'm getting from the coil, the instructions are so confusing I don't understand what I'm meant to be doing here at all.

I got there in the end, it took ages to get air out of the new master cylinder which was made harder because my clip ons have a 15° downward angle on them so air was sitting at the top slightly above the mc piston inlet. Solved it by rolling the bike up the slope of my drive and putting it on the side stand.
Lesson learned!

That's exactly like mine Mike, pitted below the lower triple by around an inch or so, I think Julie has a good plan there, use it now but send them off during those miserable winter months

I've got two other lines of investigation, first is that I've used a banjo bolt on the caliper but I believe it is short enough that it doesn't bottom out on the caliper. Second is that the mc needs new seals but Roo thought it was rebuilt so I'm kinda assuming that much.

Bleeding brakes! This is getting annoying now, I've fitted a cbr600 master cylinder to my bike to fit my clip-ons and new braided line direct to the refurbed caliper but do you think I can get any pressure on the lever or movement of the piston in the caliper!
I've bled the mc end and everything I can think of to get fluid to pump through so I'm at my wits end and asking for help here guys

Perfect Bryan, could I just eliminate the spliced in brown then?

This is the 550F wiring diagram, the two browns connect pretty much immediately in the loom anyway so surely eliminating one or rejoining them will make no difference on a 4 wire switch? Isn't it just the park position

I know where there might be some brackets but they’re in the US.
Do you want me to ask my pal over there Dom? It’s a bit of a long shot but I know they’re there……

Don't worry Roo, I'll cobble something up on the cheap if I can, failing that I'll take you up on your kind offer mate

Sorry to hear about your sister Bryan.
I may make up a bracket and utilise the horn fixing points

What actual model is it and where is the ignition switch now?
Hi Bryan, it's my cb550f1 with the hugely long centrally mounted ignition barrel which I'd like to move somewhere more discrete

Yeah Motogadget was just a step toofar financially for me, I keep thinking 'cheap build remember, cheap build' 🤣
I'm sure an electrical genius will answer my query

Looking at the wiring diagrams I seems the 4 wire switch has two browns linked into one, I wonder if its as simple as doing that?

Chatting with Roo earlier when he suggested I used the old K style frame mounted ignition, I could make up a bracket if I can't find an original but there is a wiring difference - 5 wires on my F as opposed to 4 on a K switch. Is there a wiring solution?
