help identifying loom

Mitchv60:
I've reread all the posts again and I think I've got my head around it. :o

I think I miss read one of the original posts.So The old originals I have are 550 loom and 550 sub harness so the new 500 loom will have to be returned for a 550 loom.
I'll see if I can repair the sub harness as I think one of the connectors is burnt out,if not I'll get a replacement.

Feel free to correct me if I'm still wrong.

ODDJOB Only the 550 K3 had the ignition by the clocks, the US Ko,1,2 had the same set up as the 500 and that is what i think we are seeing here

Jesus how hard can a bit of wiring be.
Let me clarify some points,
The bike is a US import.I will be replacing the switch gear on the bars so as long as the correct amount of wires are there I'm not worried if they don't plug straight in to the switches but I don't want to be messing with the wiring at the sub harness.Yes the bike has the ignition switch under the tank and yje idiot lights on the bar clamp.

I would like to retain the 3 fuses set up,If I order a 550 loom will this work?

Hi Mitch,
 
I don't know if this helps any but these are a few of pictures from my bike. My switch gear was looking a bit tired so I bought a new set from Dave Silver, the part numbers are on the boxes. The old controls are on top. It was a straightforward swop, the switch gear buttons were identical but I think a couple of wires were a different colour and I there wasn't a wire for the indicator buzzer.

I think Bryan is saying the 550K0, 550K1 and 550K2 had the ignition key below the tank, from then the 550K3 and the 550F etc had the ignition between the clocks. The 500K2 seems to share a number of parts with the 550, like the larger clocks and little things like the top yoke bolts which clamp to the fork leg which are the larger 550 size.
