CB750 / Starter Motor lead replacement
« on: February 04, 2021, 09:55:45 AM »
Well, I’ve just joined and already found loads of useful info for my build ( I really need to review my “lone Wolf”, don’t need any help, mentality)!
Anyway I want to renew the strater motor wire as it is ancient, really inflexible, not long enough, and ugly. I found a thread by Philward from a few years ago and he made a good job of putting an m6 threaded bolt and nuts on there, which I can manage, hopefully. Like Philward I want to fit a rubber cover on top of the nut/ cable eyelet so it all works well and minimises any chance of a short. Trigger was able to supply this then. Here are my questions:
1. Is this fairly do able?
2. Should I use 16mm (squared) cable and what is the best, most flexible, one to buy, and who from?
3. I’m running this cable to the back of the frame under the seat unit to the solenoid/ main fuse (nearly a metre). Will this Length of cable run be ok?
4. Who on here can supply me with good quality bits and bobs for this job?
Many thanks in anticipation.
