Hello-
Sorry I haven't been on here much. When I started my build (a 71 CB350), I had hoped to document it in a build feed here, but that just hasn't happened and now I'm almost done! Oh well, maybe next time
I have nearly finished up the wiring, but that jungle of wires in the headlight bucket has got my by the balls. Every time I go to finish wiring it, I come out with a couple wires to hanging maliciously out, waiting to be attached to a connector that doesn't exist (or so it feels). I've gotten most of these done, but still have a couple leftovers that I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable than I can help me with. So, without further ado, here they are:
Green/Yellow, Black: these two run together out of the front brake, but I can't find where on earth they belong. Of course they are brake light controls, but I'm lost trying to figure out how to control them.
Black/White: there is a black and white wire coming, if my memory is correct, out of the right handlebar (although it could be the main harness - I'm not with my bike right now). This poor wire has no other wire that looks like it, and has been hanging limply for a while. I have no idea where it belongs, but it seems important given its color.
White/Yellow Tube: My bike had been "customized" a bit before I got it, and one of the customizations appears to have been removing almost all the yellow tube except for a very thin (.5cm) tube which is all that lets me know it was ever there. Unfortunately, that means that I have no idea where this connects since there is no other white/yellow tube. There is, however, a white/yellow stripe wire that could very easily be connected - do these two belong together?
Lg/Red, Red: the two wires coming out of the headlight neutral lamp or whatever it's called (the little red light on top of the bucket). Which of these belongs where? In diagrams that I've seen, my red wire appears to be black. Is there a reason for this change?
Thank you all so much. Can't wait to hear back and be able to get going again.
