help identifying loom

Mitchv60:
I seem to have hit a bit of a snag.
A couple of weeks ago I ordered a new main loom from dss and it arrived today so I thought I had better check to make sure its right.
I seem to be missing 8 wires at the fuse box end.6 are for the fuse holder and 2 are for small black box at the bottom right corner(not sure what this is,diode maybe?)
So my question is what is the general consensus.Is the loom correct for the model even though I'm 8 wires short and the one on the bike is wrong as is the electrical block.


I've been through the parts,workshop and delivery manuals and can't come up with an answer and it doesn't show the small black box.
I never got the bike running before I started stripping it even though that was the original plan so I can't rule out whether it was correct or not.There are a lot of home done crimps on the bike so it has been tinkered with,any help would be appreciated.

I've had a look at the looms on the dss site and the one for the 550 seems to have more wires and an extra plug,the fuse box plug on my loom has gone and just been crimped

The K2 loom is slightly different, I think the K1 just has a single fuse where as the K2 has three. The switchgear is different and the clutch lever has a safety switch.  I think the loom does resemble the 550 but don't know if it's the same.

Mitchv60:
No the rectifier and regulator where there I've taken them off and will replace with a modern rectifier.
There's 2 wires to the box green/red and grey/red.
The 6 wire connector to the fuse block is only missing because it's has been re crimped with straight joiners.
I took the loom of the bike a few weeks ago and every wire was connected to something there was no spares.

I don't know if your loom has been messed about with that much. My K2 has original switchgear which is different to the K1. The clutch lever does have a clutch switch and the bike also has an indicator warning buzzer.

Mitchv60:
The position of the ignition barrel is under the tank so the loom fitted ok if its the 550.
Regarding the diode there isn't a switch on the clutch lever from memory.
To be honest I'm not to worried what I fit to the bike as long as it's got the correct number of wires and plugs to marry up to whats on the bike.
