Morning All.

Am in need of rewiring the back end of the 350F from where the loom stops to the back light/indicators etc.

I have a good supplier for cable, and I have the colours from the wiring diagram.

The question is what size cable do I need, and should it be standard or thin wall.

Don't forget the wiring is exposed under the back mudguard on the 350/400 and not sleeved.

Many thanks.

I would think automotive thin walled 18AWG  1mm2 would be OK for that Roy. Like this stuff.

You may even get away with 0.75mm2 like this. I will check tonight what the CSA is on those Honda lighting cables

Thanks guys.

Mike. That's the same supplier that I was going to use, got them from a recommend in Classic Bike. There prices look pretty good as I'm planning on buying 30m drums. Got an entire bike to rewire next project, so makes economic sense.

Ash. Have I read it correctly, it's 0.5mm thin wall your recommending?

Cheers Roy.

I just know it as thin walled automotive Roy. Just make sure the conductor CSA is = or  greater than 0.75mm²

I shopped around for yonks buying the wrong connectors etc. in the UK/Europe.

This is THE place for period correct Honda  bullets, multi-pin shells etc. Only a one man band and in the USA but boy has he done the research to find rare  Hitachi equivalent connectors etc and silver sleeving and glossy black sleeving. The guys on the sandcastonly forum use him and so do lots of people on the USA SOHC site. His prices are not bad either. If you can keep your order sub 15 quid you don't get stung for customs etc.
