Just completing full restoration on my 550F3 , ordered a replacement wiring harness from Silvers and noticed a lot of the the cable colours are different from the original and don’t match up with the handle bar switches etc .Should I order an original harness from CMS for the extra cost . What’s your experiences with aftermarket harnesses.

I can not even find a listing on Slivers site for a F3, only K3. The F3 was USA and is the same as a UK F2  ;)

Chris whit:
Probably why it’s different as I thought the one i got of silvers was for the F model , i will double check that the OEM one listed on the CMS site is for the F2 . Failing that i might try to refurb the original one .

Trigger:
I am a little confused here as, the picture of your bike has small indicators and the USA unit had larger ones  :o Does your bike have the VIN plate on the head stock or on the frame just behind the right side panel ?
I have just had a good look at the original loom on a F2 and then a good look at the wire colour on the aftermarket loom and the loom looks identical, with the same colour wiring .

Chris whit:
It has the vin plate badge on the frame next to side panel and also stamped on the frame
