Ahhhh the dark art of motorcycle electricory.... not bad , you had to use the original to find out what went where and then where it moved to ..lol ... nice idea on the single feed and ground wires . In my opinion most bikes are really over complicated where wiring is concerned. I did a rewire on a 750 virago a few years back ..that was very entertaining as it had a UK and US spec wiring harnesses half arsed mated together ..no wonder it never ran both used different colour wires .. I stripped and rewired it and removed all the unnecessary crap that was put in by the makers .. well done the build is moving forwards ..
It sure is a dark art, and a giver of great satisfaction when you finally get everything to run! That Virago sounds like a nightmare, probably a great choice to rip everything out and start over, just to keep your sanity. Thank you for your comment and nice words, that's what's moving this build forward! ✌️🤘

Haha, I guess you could say that! I have dreamt of running a m-unit but that would double the cost of this build. They are just too damn expensive and doesn't give enough value to me. Glad you liked my effort to keep it simple! Have a good one! ✌️🤘

I haven't felt confident enough to share the wiring diagram. But I get so many requests that I'm considering making another video where I go through it all together with a wiring diagram.
Hi again! If you're still interested in the wiring diagram I just released another video, with the wiring diagram I'm running. Just thought I would let you know! 😀 th-cam.com/video/EDCgmIRiJfI/w-d-xo.html
I haven't felt comfortable releasing a full wiring diagram, since I haven't really ridden the bike enough to conform it actually works as intended. I really don't want to be responsible for setting someone else's bike on fire. 😅 There are lots of wiring diagrams floating around, and the service manual has the full factory one.
@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot ha no worries. I ended up chasing all the wires (thank god these are simple bikes because it was a rats nest). just as a something to do in the future, drum brake gs550 rear wheels fit without mods on these bikes and let run a 16 in rear

@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot thank you. Ill give it a look. I ended up printing the stock diagram out on a large format printer and deleting a bunch of things. 5 lbs of wiring to be exact. I will still check out the video though. Cheers

Wow! What a strange fix but awesome that you got it running! ✌️ Haha, I saw that you found out that I removed the clutch switch, but I like the idea of having a nipple ring to do it! 🤣

Hi, my reply has to be in English since my Italian is really bad. 🙂 I'm sorry, but I wouldn't be able to make a wiring harness and send it to you. They are hard enough to make with the bike in front of you. The tip I can give you is to get a copy of the service manual, you can find it online for free. In there they have wiring diagrams for all the different years. If you know anyone who knows a little about electronics they should be able to use that to help you, or have a go at it yourself! The wiring of these bikes are fairly simple so I think you would be able to pull it off! Good luck and I hope you get your Savage sorted! ✌️
Hey Captain! Are you trying to only remove the kill switch? How far did you get? I would say that you should just pull the two wires going into the switch and connect them, bypassing the switch. Do you have access to the wiring diagram in the Clymer manual? The wiring is a bit different depending on the year of your bike.

I bought my first project motorcycle 2 weeks ago 1987 savage these videos have help a lot
That's awesome!
I'm glad you find my videos useful. Keep me updated on your progress! ✌️
Almost done with wiring. Removed the 87 wire harness and upgrade to a 2004
@@efremfishing4984 That's huge progress! Did you have to do a lot of adjustments or was it more of a drop in replacement?
@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot it was more plug and play. The hard part was wiring up after market switches
@@efremfishing4984 That's great! What switches are you running?

Where did you get the spring return ignition switch. I like that a lot!

That sucks! I haven't actually seen anyone converting that to points. Maybe you can pick up a salvaged CDI somewhere?
@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot i talked to china /they made a dc cdi- woot - kinda like a 1 size for medium size cc motors.. 24$
If you can get that running it would be amazing! ✌️
can I look at your wiring diagram somewhere?

Good to hear that you managed to sort it out.

I really need to know how you did it video is not making it clear
I actually agree! Been thinking about doing another video with a proper walkthrough, if there would be an interest.
How did you delete the killswitch? I tried today but I’m having a headache with the wiring 🥲
Hey Captain! Are you trying to only remove the kill switch? How far did you get?
I would say that you should just pull the two wires going into the switch and connect them, bypassing the switch.
Do you have access to the wiring diagram in the Clymer manual? The wiring is a bit different depending on the year of your bike.
