Fitting Hondaman unit.

[JezzaPeach]

I was just starting to familiarise myself with the wiring connections for this.

1) The diagram doesn’t mention the orange and purple wires so I’m guessing orange goes with yellow and purple with blue?

2) It looks like the connections can be made in the small shroud to the right of the battery? I only need to release the two securing tabs nearest the points and the shroud can be slid up for better access? Worst case disconnect at the points.

3) I’ve got a tool kit in the tray, but the unit fits very neatly under the battery strap, has anyone done this?

4) I think I’ve read on a post that a good connection for the black power feed is the rear light one on the rear mudguard?

Experiences much appreciated!

My Dyna system advices power from the rear brake lamp switch feed.

Many thanks Ted.

I ran the power from the coil connection

I have one of these boxes and it comes with a diagram and such on what colours connect to what wires. Did you not get this? I also bought 2 systems at the same time, one for me and one for someone else and there were only one set of instructions so I send a PM or an email to the other person describing how and what to attach, if I can find either the instruction or the message I'll let you know what it said.

Essentially, Mark Paris (Hondaman) ccouldn't follow the original blue and yellow colours because it made it difficult to work out what was power in and what was power out so he changed them very slightly, I think orange was yellow and purple was blue, there was also a double connector to tap power without cutting any wires, no wires are cut at all, IIRC the blue goes to the blue, can only go one way due to bullet configuration, yellow to yellow, orange to yellow, purple to blue and the double taps into the rear brake light connector, there is an additional green wire which is meant to go to the points plate and earth on one of the screws in there.

That's what I seem to remember and if that make sense with what you can see then go with it but if it's not vital you fit it right now then wait until I can confirm it when I find the instructions.

Oh and lots of people fitted it under the battery strap, I intend to bolt mine to the back of the battery tray if there is space there or failing that under the battery tray.

Many thanks Oddjob much appreciated. Yes those colours seemed logical as they are similar, orange/yellow etc. 👍

Here's the relevant section from the instructions - hope it's readable

Many thanks Phil. I didn’t have that, only the diagram. Much appreciated. 👍

One slight problem, the coil wires will be black with white stripe.
The black is inside the headlamp and feeds power TO the kill switch

[JezzaPeach]

Thanks Bryan. My coils are DSS so I’ll check the connectors by those and that the kill switch works on them.

Saves me looking, thanks Phil.

Just looking into something like this, smallest possible, to hang it on the battery strap.

Would something like a leatherman pouch work ?

Yes looks like it. I’ve got an old mini camera nylon pouch I’ll try. I’m just checking with Mark that heat dispersal isn’t a factor.

Sorry about the faff fitting, Jez. The sheet it came with was the only thing in the box when I recieved it from Hondaman. I havent seen that book of words that Phil has.
