Earthing Rear Indicator

<< < (2/2)

Bryanj:
Whose wiring diagram?

Oddjob:
The 500 has both earth and feed Bryan. The earth is riveted to the mount on the rear and you can easily miss it being there. The 550f had them attached to the bulb mount screw, a much better system.

Bryanj:
There is only 1 wire on all the 500 rear indicators i have and 2 on the US front ones, 1 on the UK ones.
There is a short ground wire fronm the bulb holder to one of the holder mounts from memory as some bulb holders are rubber mounted.

There was a ground wire riveted to the back of the steel mounting that the head mounted to

I have the 550 f2, wiring diagrams in Haynes and also Hondas.Orange and Green cables from the left and Green and Light Blue for the right.

Sesman:
As long as you are using the correct shouldered mounting bolt and rubber mountings the earth will be just fine through the frame. I too have used those aftermarket market indicators using the single wire/bolt ground with no problems.
