14-18 gauge wire is cool. Use good weather proof connectors. That drawing above is more like an example and not how you would make a harness. Loosely follow that. You'd be better off just using the factory wiring and taking out the wires in the loom that you wont be using and re-wrapping the...

Yep, that was it. I replied and it was returned back to me. Ill PM you now. Lets stick with that instead.

Did you email me? I didnt receive it. I did receive an email though, and I replied. It came back Undeliverable though.

Make an offer? Willing to trade too! Surely someone needs some OEM looking/functioning controls! Especially considering its one of the most problematic parts of old bikes.

I thought I was going to use these, but decided against it. The picture on the Dime City website shows these coming with a female pigtail so you can wire these up, they no longer come with that. I had to cut the harness off and wire it direct into my bikes stock harness. Works great, zero miles...

Ok, I tried your methods above. Never got any clicking ever. And I also tried method number 1, and never got any voltage to the R/Y wire when pressing the start button.. I also got curious and started stripping back some of the tape from the harness itself. I ended up finding several wires...

Wow teazer thanks for the reply. All of that does make sense, Ill go give it a shot hopefully later today. Now that I think of it, I dont think my solenoid is grounded. I need to double check though. This whole process has been awesome. Ive learned so much and developed a better working...

Im kinda lost on what you're saying. From what I understand, the magnetic solenoid switch thingy only acts as a intermediary because of the high voltage. So on the two terminals on the solenoid, 1 goes to the + side of the battery, and the other terminal goes straight to the starting motor as a...

Hey thats a good idea. Thanks. Quick and easy I hope this fixes my stupid starting issue. No worries though, I can kick the bike over in like 2 kicks or less. :)

I never heard a clicking sound from the original relay. I hit the starter button, nothing happens. As far as I know, all I need is power to the OFF/ON switch (that part works) and the Y/R wire hooked up that goes straight back to the magnetic switch. I probably wired the spare solenoid up...

Thanks for the reply voch... I have a nice tester. Not just a light. When I put the selector on ohms, the tester is battery powered so it should send enough voltage to complete the circuit without needing to add 12v to the scenerio via the bikes battery, correct? Or does it need the full 12v...

Bike in question: 1976 CB550k Ive wired non stock controls up to my bike. Press start, nothing happens. Have confirmed I'm getting signal back to the magnetic switch. When I take a wire and jump the 2 terminals on top of the starter solenoid, the bike will start up. But in testing continuity...

This is true ^, but the kits also take away from the prestige/aura/rarity of seeing a fine cafe bike because of how much work it takes to fabricate oneself. I can see both sides of the spectrum having valid arguments here. I think I fit somewhere in between. I ended up buying ebay stuff and...

Re: Suzuki GR650 Cafe Project Lookin good man! Moar pix! :)

Hey guys So, I have a CB550 tank that has been modified with clubman, chest, and knee indentions with a hammer the old school way. I really dont want to use body filler to smooth it out, and originally I was going to leave the tank raw to give it that unfinished look. Ive decided to go black...

Ive got a dollar! Where do I pay???!?!? ;D

Hey Im in Nashville! Where do you usually go for work? This is the only dude I know. Super cool guy! Hes been working on my bike. I bought my hand formed tank from him too. www.pjrspeedshop.com

Nice bike! Im also from Nashville. Where do you guys meet up? I think I may have saw your bike at one of the meets in East Nashville by Beyond The Edge.

Thanks! It should be very cool soon. As you can see, I was a bit into the brat/tracker style first, then quickly shifted. Pix soon once I get some parts in! :D
