Title: Honda 400 4 head light birds nest
Post by: Ken4004 on November 11, 2024, 06:32:16 PM: Hi everyone just finishing off the wiring and have been changing all the connectors on the wiring loom, I just wondered if anyone has a good method of tidying up the wiring in the headlight shell.

I canâ€™t believe itâ€™s all just pushed in there must Be a preferred method of dressing the cables to allow the headlight to be fitted easily , looking forward to your thought on the subject.

You will have to wait until the birds have flown the nest

Not for the purists as I fiitted fork clamps as the 500 bowl is deeper, bonus is it's much brighter than the standard Candle like lamp. I retained the original 400 bracket for added sturdyness.

I think the CB250/400N had a grid plate for the head light shell connectors?
