I found this diagram on another site and made a few modifications to it. I love the simple layout, and this is what I have in mind for my build. Kick start, Kohler Rec/Reg, Turn Signals.

http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=43522.0

The question is, will it work? I've got a feeling there might be issues I've over looked. Individual circuit overloaded, missing or misplaced wiring of rec/reg unit, etc.

Let the shredding begin. . . Thanks guys.

 
With the exception of the turn signals and the absence of an electric starter, this is exactly what I want to do on my CB450 project.

Will keep tuned in on the build to see it take shape... If possible.
 
Why so high amp fuses? The turn signals do not need 10 Amps. The 40 amp circuit breaker is too large, unless you are using 10 gauge wire.

Signals can be 5 amp. Headlight 7 amps.

Did you upsize all the wiring gauges? You run the risk of burning the wires up before a fuse actually blows.

A neat job otherwise.

The best way to do this is to use one large gauge power wire for the headlight and horn. . Then use relays, it will give you a loader horn and brighter headlight.
The current will be less on the switches as they will only switch the relay coil, and the heavy duty contacts on the relay will provide the mose current for the lights.

Hey mydlyfkryzis,
I borrowed this from another post. It's not my design, but I like the layout. Seems easy to read. I haven't done any wiring yet. Just trying to get a diagram layed out.

Thanks for your suggestions. Really appreciate yours and others opinions to refine this. I've wired relays before for my truck when installing air horns. Here's an updated diagram with reduced fuse size and relay in line. Not sure if this is the most efficient way to wire a 360, but again, I appreciate everyone's input.

 
How do you use this diagram if you're using the factory regulator rectifier? Is it worth it to buy the kohler one used in the diagram? If so where do you get it?
 
Since the cb360 has 2 sets of points and 2 ignition coils, following this schematic will also simplify the engine into a single cylinder 180 cc.

The coil in that schematic will not work on CB360.

Well, it does say 'simplified' so you can't really argue on that hehe

Are you skipping the idiot lights?

Looks like that.. oil light would be nice, the rest is not that important.. I never understood the idiot light for high beam or turn signals in the first place.. You can see the high beam or signal lights are on...
 
No oil light on a cb360. No switch to activate it either.

It would be a real good mod for CB350 with 360degree crank.
You'll have to source a dual lobe points cam though
I would use 15A circuit breaker when using simple circuit and not bother with the other fuses (in fact I bought a couple of resettable circuit breakers but still have 15a fuse at present)
 
I'm running kickstart only, blinkers and idiot lights. Is there nothing posted on here that will actually fit what i want to do?
 
Hey Finn,
First off, I abandoned that wiring diagram a long time ago. I've used parts of it, but decided to not to try to "economize" wiring connections by having multiple connection doing many things. I've basically wired the bike as needed, but looked at each desired option and wired it accordingly, sometimes unnecessarily separately - positive to switch to light (or whatever) to negative to ground.

I might be using extra wire, and creating unnecessary circuits, but I'm happy with it.

So, in my desire for information I threw that wiring diagram out there, and received some criticism, not much direction, and decided to not stress on it, and just take each circuit individually.

You can find the Kohler R/R online. There's plenty of information on how to wire it up. One thing Sonreir and crazypj pointed out is to splice the stators yellow and white wires together to maximize your charging potential.
 
Thanks for the info on the Kohler RR, I found one rated to 15a and its on its way.

The only issue I'm having is knowing where to start and what components to use, I don't have an old wiring harness to go off. It seems like every diagram I find on here has issues that some people think are important and others don't.

That's largely because people have different requirements for their wiring.

First step is to decide what electrics you want to run. Second step is to diagram it out so that you know exactly what you're doing. Third and final step is make the harness and then install it.

Gather requirements, plan, execute.
