Hi again Matt ,
Be cautious with that 10 gauge ,it is a bit unwieldy . Actually no
harm in running it with 14 gauge and if you feel a bit anal a PAIR of 14
will carry more than enough current and is a lot more compliant
/flexible. Heavy gauge wire does not live well with repeated flexing
like takes place at the steering head.
I would (do) mount the horn relay near the horn . I can make you up a
little sub harness that will plug right into the original with only the
B+ feed added . I use genuine Bosch or Delphi sockets and all
connections are machine crimped AND soldered for reliability. I made
quite a few of them up already for folks on this and other lists.
Gimme a call .
See Ya,
Gary Cheek

I'll give that a try. I did manage to run a separate 10ga wire (through the harness sheathing) to the headlight shell. I am using it to power the headlight (through the relays) only. I pirated a left handlebar switch from a parts bike (jap) that passed through my hands, and when I get the LH turn-signal bracket, I will add turn signals. Later, Matt BTW, how is the weather over there on the east side? |
