Rear mudguard/fender wiring harness.
Bradders:
Morning. I am in the process of derusting and treating my rear mudguard and have removed the original wiring harness that runs under the mudguard. My question is, does anyone know is it possible to purchase a new wiring harness ( the one that runs under the mudguard) rather than a complete harness for the whole bike? It seems the ideal time to change it?
TrickyMicky:
If I'm not mistaken, the only wires running under the mudguard are to the rear light fitting, and these are connected to the main harness with bullet connectors. It would possibly be cheaper and easier to purchase the relevant coloured wire, connectors, and some sleeving and make it a DIY job. Don't forget to use a piece of string to tie the wires together, then use it to pull them through the channel under the guard.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Very easy to make your own - that's what I did on my last two bikes.
Bradders:
Thanks for your replies guys. I know less than Zilch about wiring although would like to have a go. Where would I buy the wiring and connectors etc? I guess I would need to get hold of a crimping tool?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
You do not need a crimping tool I use pliers then solder the joint for what I think is s stronger joint than crimping especially if you have to unplug the connectors.
Kojaycat do the correct diameter connectors, I buy batches of wiring either from a loocal electrical shop or for specific colours try e-bay or link below. I tend to order more than I need so I have stock for future projects.
I ended up making a new mini harness for the horn as well as some of the replacement indicator earths.
