Okay, the wiring on my bike is a rats nest and id like to tidy it up a lot. I am at a complete standstill with wiring, i can tear down and rebuild all the rest of the stuff on a bike, but wiring throws me for a loop. The electric start is disconnected, but i would like to keep the gauges and dummy lights. Is there anyone around that would be willing to give me a hand re-wiring the bike?
 
Can you read a schematic?
Not being a dick, serious question... There are several wiring diagrams here on DTT that really simplify things.
 
im kind of in the same situation as well

i bought a cj360 and i guess the owner before the guy i bought it from repainted and rewired the bike, as well as a new muffler but they did this really shitty job with the wiring... like... everything is crudely taped with electrical and i dont know where the hell everything is going.

I'm planning to rewire or at least fix the wiring myself, but it'd be nice if I hit a wall and someone could help me out!

I'm in southside Chicago
 
I've been given permission to work on my bike in the shop on Saturdays, which means I also have access to all of the tools and equipment. If anybody needs wiring help and can get their bike out near O'Hare (near Algonquin & Elmhurst Rd. in Arlington Heights) I would be more than happy to lend a hand. I work for a custom machine builder, and wiring 24VDC is one of my duties. It's a little bit different than motorcycle and auto wiring, but the theory is the same. Bring your own wire and connectors. I got all the tools.

Out of town this weekend, but I will be in the shop on 10/29, and hopefully every Saturday in November. I'd offer to come out to you guys and help, but boss man has me running all over the country this winter so I gotta be selfish with my free time. But like I said, if you can get it here, I will help.
 
i am also more than willing to help out... between the group of us do not think there is much wwe can wire wire up!
 
Awesome! Well I work on Saturdays but I'll try and figure a bit of this out myself first- sorta try and see if I can do it by myself at first but if something stumps me ill be sure and hit you guys up.

thankss
 
sounds good man... to be honest i would gut the stock harness and build my own for it... for your bike it is so easy! i have a diagram you can follow and just build a new set up based on what you are going to use... then all your wires you can color code and set up the way you want... we do not have to go to my shop for this at all... i have a lift, lights, soldering irons and anything we could possibly need at my house... all i ask is you pick up the beer, wire, and shrink wrap so we do not go though all mine...

for wire i HIGHLY recomend going to harbor freight wiht a 20% off coupon and get the wire rack w/ wire... works great, and then shrink wrap righ there... after we get all your wires cut and figuredout we can braid it all in and cut them to lenth. look great and work perfect!

I dont have any way to transport the bike though, so thats a big problem for me... since you're around Elgin area...

I'll figure something out
