    1981 CM400T wire

    There are 3 wires on the starter relay or solenoid. red (fat wire, to battery) red yellow (is that what you meant by yellow? goes to starter button) and red/green (to rectifier) I would recommend buying a good used wiring harness and start from there. No buzzkill like murky electric probs when...

    I built this bike with the idea to keep it cheap, mainly for pavement, but if I want to bomb across the desert, (seems I've been doing that a lot) to have the potential. I've ridden motorcycles for 30+ years, on everything from CR's to Harleys.

    *sigh* 1) I stated in OP that I love the bike and that it handled well in the dirt. You wanted me to repeat that in defense of your snotty ass question? Just asking? You called my forks spindly. It was an insult. 2)The fork brace was in the works before I ever encountered you. My intentions are...

    Frame mods. obviously this bike needed a different perch if command was to be had off road, so Changed the line a bit. Whacked off the wingy looking seat supports, frogged them for upright 1" tubing. Horizontal members dramatically mitered to weld to the existing frame. Had to hot form them as...

    I don't consider this a valid question as posed.. it's just you diminishing my bike. Thems fightin words. I already stated that it handles well. Is it possible you might be a less skilled rider? Let me pose a similar ridiculous question: Please explain how you handle riding any rough terrain...

    No explanation is warranted or forthcoming. If you have a useful comment, submit it.. if all you have is snotty claptrap, go annoy someone else.
