2x stroke street tracker - project coming together slowly.
- Thread starter NoRiders
- Start date
If you look around I believe you’ll find one w/ four circuits instead of six, but I’ll be using all six when it’s all said n done. If you have room it’s probably better to have too many available than not enough.

Thanx maritime, had a quick shuftie at the FB11...nice bit of kit, but, as you stated, it may be too complex for my requirement. Not cheap either at $100. Sparck do some nice kit and if it's proven to work then probs good value tbh.

Yeah, I've flagged a 4xway and 6xway for reference, once my son can get to me we can organise a product set and go for it. Thank you

I used this exact one on my CB500X for four years, worked great.

Thank you Herrbacon....it's looking like a 6x way is the way to go

I have this on my GL: It may be overkill for your needs but I have a digital speedo/tach and had to wire the bike from scratch and this made it all so much smoother.

Maritime - Turns out I only need a 4xway, so ordered one, blagged a simple on/off/on ignition switch off my neighbour (key is locked in when in the ON position)....just pondering where to mount it?
At the top yoke - as I still retained the original mounting threads
In the leftside panel - where the electrica are positioned
In the side of the seat unit - just up and behind the seat pad on the leftside
Thinking about weather protection, access and paracticality. I'm actually favouring the seat unit position....just 'cos it's different and I can rig a pull apart connector easy enough on the loom. Just needs some weather protection in the form of a gland or similar.
Just got to strip the insulation off the loom so we can edit and reroute wires......a messy business.

Fettling small outstanding jobs that take time and patience.
Right-side footpeg, brake lever and kick start all in place.
Need a proper bush/spacer for the brake lever pivot, but my cut down copper pipe does for now.
Left-side was simpler.
Now I know the dimensions and shape of the gear lever that'd work....just need to trawl the web for the correct item.
In fitting the pegs, I needed to narrow the elongated nuts, but not having a lathe handy (and my tame tuner being 30 miles away and isolation blah blah) my trusty bench belt sander delivered.
Did I mention the wheels are with Mr Powdercoat

Chopping and changing tasks as parts arrive or what I feel like doing.
Electrics being the main job ahead.
Splitting the loom and positioning the components in the electrical mount area is working out OK. Ignitor in place, indicator relay and now I've mounted the 4xway fuse box under the seat, the regulator can be mounted too. A few simple brackets will have them all sitting quite nicely, tight, but that's the morm anyway.
Multi pack arrived.
Incoming will be a Exide AGM sealed slimline battery at 75mm deep (this is to allow for the space taken up by the oil tank).
Plus a clutch cable.
It might appear mundane me posting up images of batteries etc...but it's as much for my reference as showing progress. Thanks for checking in - Colin

Looks great. I probably could have gotten by w/ a four fuse setup like that but I had room for the six. I got that same box of connectors, too. Seemed to me to be a great product for a great price and they fall into some kind of standard because they mate up w/ some of the existing connectors from the Honda and Yamaha parts I'm using.

It got the thumbs up from my son....and yes, the connectors do look compatible in some way. With the relaxation in gov movement instructions it just might be possible a single family visitation could happen?
In the meantime, I'll busy myself with whatever else needs doing.
Bad news, I discovered a brake fluid leak from the front caliper....it didn't leak when purchased...so must be somehting I've done??

Ah well, I do have some reasonable crimper/cutters so hoping they'll work OK. I'll find out this Saturday as my lad will be up to sort the wiring.
I've just taken delivery of the Exide AGM battery and it all fits quite snugly
One small bracket for the rectifier and we should be good to go.
One of the coils I have is from a Honda CB750....would that work with the Suzuki GT200? It's a twin HT out unit.
I'm to test the ohms I understand...give it a 12v and stick a plug on the end to see if it delivers a spark...right?

I have the same stripper tool but after the first correct use of the ratcheting ones I never crimp with the stripping tool anymore. When I say correct use, I mean I figured out that the best way to use it is to set the connector in the tool and close it just enough to start it, then slip the wire in and finish the crimp. You can only do that because of the ratchet function unlike the standard crimpers where you need to hold the wire and connector all while trying to close and crimp.
