550F2 DSS Wiring Harness

(1/4) > >>

FlyinPhil:
I've reached the point I've been dreading in my build and that is the wiring. Me and electrics should have a restraining order against each other, as it is, in my opinion the work of the devil.

However, I've come to install the loom today however I have a lot of wires which simply do not match the plethora of wiring diagrams I have.

The loom is a brand new one from David Silver Spares and I wondered if anybody else here had experienced the same problems? For example, the wiring diagrams state brown wires running to the tail lights, however the loom doesn't have a single brown wire in it anywhere. The loom also has an orange with black stripe wire, but this is not on any wiring diagram.

The old loom removed matches all the diagrams perfectly and I'm now feeling rather lost. I'll give DSS a call tomorrow to see if they can help but thought I would also reach out to you guys for any advice.

Cheers
Phil

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Have you compared the old loom colours with the new ones from the front to the rear including any wiring spurs / clusters along the length?

Oddjob:
DS looms are well known for using the wrong colour wires.

Sure there was a thread recently with the colours converted to the Honda ones.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Too late now but I got mine from this firm the colours were identical to the original.

Oddjob:
They don't do a 550F though Ted.

The 550K won't fit, wrong harness.

I was lucky and found a NOS one for my 550F2, not 100% sure if I'll use it yet as the old harness is still in decent shape but until you try to use the old harness you can't be sure.
