re-newing HT leads

(1/3) > >>

Johnwebley:
as my CB500/4 K1 is approaching its 40th anniversary,

it has come to my notice the HT are hard and brittle ,

especially when cold,

when riding in wet weather ,I am getting problems of cylinders 2,and 3 shorting out,

so I would like to renew,and extend the HT leads with nice new flexible leads,

could I have your suggestions on the best/easiest methods ?

LesterPiglet:
You can get a splice kit but I made my own.


Cut your old lead and screw in a self tapper, cut off the head. Screw the new lead on. Put some silicone inside a piece of tube and slip it over the joint.

That will do it it but I would use black shrink down sleeving to make it look the biz
