Topic: new battery cable to short?

[73nancy]

hey guys i bought a new battery cable for my k1 750 and its the one that goes down to the solenoid with the wires that go to the harness and the fuse box. my question is i bought a honda part buts it only like 5 inchs long and doesnt even come close to fiting my bike. part number 32401-300-010 it looks right just to short the other cable i bought it fine just this one needs help. it says its the right part number but idk what to do now i want a honda cable so it looks correct.

so i found the reason why my cable wont fit. i had fliped the main bracket to fit my reg/rec unit on it so it could clear the battery box. that made the soleoid to low. so i have fliped it back but now i have a issue of where to mount the reg/rec. if anyone has a adivise on a good place to put it or any pics of theres with a aftermarket unit on there bike that would be great thanx ryan

Depends really.  On my 550, I put it out where it can get air.....keep it cool, and it will love you for it.  If you have a leftover bracket mount it there, and then paint, polish or detail it so it looks good to the eye.  I had a front side plate bracket still on the frame on the left/chain side.  I mounted by rec. there.  Then buffed it with steel wool.  Looks good to me!

Looks good to me!

Looks good to me too, but then your level of build quality is very high in general.
