Wiring in headlamp bowl photos?
« on: September 11, 2014, 06:22:57 PM »
Does anyone have a photograph of the wiring inside the headlamp bowl on a 77(ish) CB750, I did label all of the connections when I stripped the donor bike but over the last year some have dropped others have become illegible, cheers Mark.

77 will not be k2.It will include clutch switch, no on/off switch and to be fair its not rocket science.Conect all the colours you can and at the end you may have 2 or 3 to sort.

Sometimes it's more complicated than expected I was playing around with a cg a wile ago and I think someone has been striping an extension cord to splice the wiring. ::)

hi Mark, mine is a 76 F1, I only had one problem with mine when matching the colours. I can check and have a look, or photo if it would help? from memory, although cant be 100% sure I think it was joining for brown wires (two separate connections) and connected them wrong, realised that one pair had a red ring of tape, swopped them around and all worked fine.
let me know if I can help. John

If it's an F1, most of the connections are in a plastic box on the front frame downtube, due to the slimmer headlight bowl firted to that model. If it's a K model most connections are in the headlight bowl.

If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

Thanks for the offers, I got most of it wired up earlier today amongst other jobs, headlamp works, a bit more trial and error (and faking I know what I'm doing with a multimeter) and we should be there, annoyingly there was a great thread on the American site with loads of photo's but I cant find it now, thanks RGP for the photo you sent, cheers Mark.
