Topic: Wiring harness from scratch?

[going4speed]

Any one built a wire harness from scratch for a cb750k?

Where did you get your supplies?

Have any pictures?

You can get a new one from Parts N More for $75.

You didn't say what year (the partsnmore one is only for 73-75)

Complete harnesses from stripped bikes for a specific model and year are usually available on Ebay and the like for much less but you never know what condition you are going to get.

I found that I got good results by fixing up the one that I had.

New connectors and housings may be got at:

Watch the housings. The lock tab is on the ones I got were the opposite to those used on my bike (78 750K)

Depending on what the PO did to yours, various techniques to repair might make sense, or not. What is the problem(s) that you are having? Making a new harness might make sense for a heavily modified frame but if not, why embark on something that could be quite complex?

Are you comfortable with electrics and the techniques used?

I did custom harness building for CAT so I can handle that.  I have a new job now and dont have access to the tools unfortunately.

I wanted to build a new harness mostly as I do not trust the nearly 40 year old wire.

I really want a stripped down version but I also realize that they dont put any extra into the harness unless needed.

The installation really needs a tidy up in my mind.

Check out the following epic thread by JohnK6, right here on SOHC4.net:

how to save a cb750 from the garbage dump

This is the thread that led me to this site originally.  Here's a nice quote:

Jesus, now he's making his own wiring loom. My brain's hurting with the intensity of it all. What a guy.
