Wiring Re-design question
« on: May 19, 2011, 05:13:16 PM »
So ive gutted the electrical system on my 76 cb550. I want a bike that runs, a headlight and a tail/break light as well as keeping the CDI ignition, ignition switch and battery to support it. anyone know of any custom wiring diagrams for such a setup?

as simple as can be. ive already gotten rid of what i know to be unnecessary. anything?

that was the easy part. i want to keep the battery, the CDI and the head and tail lights. preferably have the lights hard wired so they simply run while the ignition is in the on position. kick start only.

About as simple as it gets! My wire harness is about a pencil's width. I know! That's what she said!  :P
