Wiring

<< < (2/4) > >>

mickwinf:
If it has the original loom there should be a 4 pin block connector for the original ignition switch on a short wire near the coils, or evidence of alterations, it might help to identify it, also sometimes has a part number on the loom somewhere.

popwud:
The wiring is a mess with a huge bunch in and near the headlight, not noticed any plugs or sockets near the coils.

I do have a spare new ignition switch that could possibly be attached to frame under tank, or wondering if the ignition wires could be extended to the clock area, just a thought. It'll be next year before I do any thing serious its too cold now.

Trigger:
Not a K3 with that tank. Does it have a multi plug on the back of the ignition switch?? Are you sure it is not a CB550 with a CB500 engine?

Bryanj:
If you want to go back to standard any 72 onwards 500 or US 550 K0-K2 will fit but the US 550 has a "Safety Interlock" module to stop the starter working unless either the neutral light is on or the clutch lever pulled.

A 550 K3 loom will fit the switch you have and probably the handlebar switches DEPENDING on the type of starter button you have

I think we need some more pictures. Can not even see what type of headlight bowl is fitted.
