Topic: Chopper wiring on my CB750

[nayto550]

So I spent most of my morning looking for a wiring diagram that would fit my needs to no avail.  So I drew my own (would've saved a lot of time if I would have done this in the first place.  )  I thought I would post it and see if anyone notices anything stupid that I may have done that would cause this wiring to not operate properly.  As far as I can tell it should work just fine.

Here's what I did:
-removed turn signals/buzzer
-replaced battery with a small capacitor
-removed starting system
-replaced charging system w/ 1-phase permanent magnet generator
-removed horn
-running a single brake light switch (rear)
-added solid-state combined regulator/rectifier

I know, I know, this type of setup is super dangerous.  At least I have a kill switch, unlike SOME people (you know who you are ).  It is what I want on this particular bike, though (it's going to be my rally/show bike).  Like I said, I think it should work with no problems, but I would feel better with a second or third (or fourth ?) opinion on my schematic.

maybe these will help you i'm going to od the same thing you are with my chopper here in kansas i don't need turn signals at all on my bike it's old enough not to get a ticket as far as being hassled by the pigs it's a different story.

Thanks James, but the lower 2 diagrams you got there were the same ones I found before I got frustrated and drew up my own wiring.  As an engineer, those style of electrical drawing make my head hurt.   

I think my wiring will work, but it's going to be quite awhile before I'm ready to test it out.

keep me informed on how it charges i've heard mixed reviews on using the reg/rec combo my bike isn't going to be done anytime soon but hopefully this summer i will know first hand if it does work.
