Complete electronic harness..... Anybody used one of these things??

[antwan]

Just came across this product and was wondering if anyone has used/heard of anyone using one of these harnesses? Seems a lot more straight forward than the OEM harnesses

Waste of time and money on a simple vintage bike.

Are you going to wire up the bike from scratch? I did my XS650 café from scratch with signals, horn, full lighting etc. and it has a single 10A fuse, one signal flasher and no relays.

Not sure what value this $300 magic box brings.

Looks like a nice kit. Should do the job well.

I had rewired a Mazda Miata with a friend who put a ls6 in. He bought a after market 'painless' kit for it and it was great.

But of you have a good harness... I'd stick with it.

Not really sure what Im going to do yet Tim, just weighing out my options here. Pretty new at all this, was your wiring pretty straight forward? No experience with electrical systems here

Your bike needs like ten wires to run. Search for SOHC Honda four wiring diagrams, there are some great ones out there.

"Painless" to everything but your wallet at over $500 for a wiring harness.

I found this graphic on some other motorcycle forum. It's pretty much that easy.

In that picture, the distributor are obviously the points

If you're building a 47 Knucklehead. If you're building a 70s Japanese bike with signals, there's at least twice as many wires.
