David Silvers Wiring Loom

<< < (2/2)

Bryanj:
You should be fine to fit it but you may need to trace out the switch wires

mickwinf:
why oh why would anyone make a wiring harness with different colours? it makes no sense, its no harder to do the correct colours than incorrect ones. I have no beef with silvers normally but they should not sell such inferior stuff to enthusiastic Honda owners who spend many thousands of pounds with them.

I quite agree. It's penny-pinching to use different colour wires, the correct colours are available and can't be much difference in cost.

I have had some fun and games with my loom that I think I have now managed to overcome. The essential thing for me was getting the right wiring diagram to work from. I don’t know what year/ model yours is but I found out that my 76 K2 has unique wiring. Much is the same as earlier or later models but there are differences and I had to make allowances for the replacement switchgear and the replacement sub loom. I ended up creating my own conversion chart from what I had to what it should be in the correct wiring diagram. Once I had that with a decent multimeter it didn’t take long. The various supplements in the shop manual have the different wiring diagrams.

I agree that it makes no sense to produce these looms with the wrong colours.
