Wiring loom - which way?

(1/2) > >>

rustywheels:
I've decided to replace the remnants of my old wiring loom, with a nice new shiny version.

But... which way to start?  Do I tackle the birds nest of the headlight first, or get some quick wins by starting at the rear and leave the top end to last?  Any recommendations/preferences?

Fit the loom to the frame first.

Then, rather than starting with a physical location, take the wiring diagram and work through it systematically.

Start at the front of you like. Headlight, indicators, switchgear etc.

When I was faced with this task and realized the colours are not all the same as the original I rolled over and paid to let someone else do it!  ;D

Hi,
As Steve says, hang it on the frame first - I use temporary cable ties to start with and if you turn the ties 'inside out' they will hold it but can be released if you need to slide it back and forth.  I actually start around the leccy side of the airbox, as this is where they are a 'stingy' with wire lengths. After that you can progress in either direction as the mood takes you.

There is a lot of information on loom routes both on this site & elsewhere I found this useful for basic loom routing.
I hope the pdf file attaches here ok.
