    I've been dreading this day. I've done a lot of custom building on bikes but electrical is a whole different beast to tackle. In this episode we get the wiring harness and electronic components in place but the process of elimination gets the best of me and I think we need to bring in the professionals.
    If you have what it takes to wire this machine and are local to southern California hit me up at motopilot6@aol.com. $$$$

    Thanks for hanging out.

    One of my Patreon members has saved the day!!! He informed me of Sparck Moto who makes full custom wiring harnesses from scratch based on your custom bobber needs. WHEW!! Fingers crossed that these guys come through. I will keep you all informed in my next video. MP

      Thanks for the shout out! I just created this TH-cam account so I could comment and subscribe. We've been doing custom harnesses for custom bikes for six years now. We specialize in metric bikes but also tackle American and British iron on occasion as well. We're really excited to be a part of this build!

    Motopilot that first part that you did not know what that was. Thats your starter relay. Cant go in that fake oil tank flopping around. Needs to be mounted properly, if those 2 post at the top of the starter relay make contact with that faux oil tank it will either send electrical current through the frame as which grounds are hooked up to or it will engage the starter. Obviously both are bad. Also I noticed you were wanting to put the voltage regulator in the faux oil tank. The rectangle metal box with a heat sink on it. Well you cant put that in there either. That part gets hot and will melt wires if they are touching it. This needs to be mounted where it can get air to it. Just dont wanna see it burn to the ground. Btw electrical I charge 100 an hour and thats on the side. Good luck with it. Btw is that bike ran with alternating current or direct current? This is important to know.

      You have great timing. it just popped in my head today that some of the electrical components may not be ideal inside the oil tank due to heat. If you could email me at motopilot6@gmail.com that would be awesome. I have some basic questions. MP

    For someone who knows what is doing it is not a big project. All it takes, it is half a day and everything should work fine. I would use new wire out of the regulator/rectifier. Also keep the horn you can remove a lot of thing but not the horn. Good luck.

    Man I'm in Pennsylvania. If I lived there I would so be on this. That isn't as difficult as its made out to be. Just separate it down into small sections. Then work on those small sections individually. Each one you finish gets you closer to the end. Run all new wires through the tubes of the frame you can hide everything. Rubber grommets where the wires need to come out of the tubes. Easy peazy lemon sqeezy.....I used to wire airplanes. I'm sure I can handle this

  • @markblundell9461

    Start from scratch. Make your own harness. There are three circuits you need to worry about . Ignition, charging, and lights/ auxiliaries.
    Sit down with a wiring diagram and a beer, and see if you can figure it out. If you have any problems just ask me.

      No there's just 2 blue 2 yellow green black for the one connecter coming from the starter and the big black I'm guessing pos connection and the alternator side has a connector with a blue and 3 yellow

    You need a different regulator rectifier if you’re switching to a lithium ion battery otherwise you’re killing a pricey battery.
