badass.....I'm working in Plano at the moment, but I'm in uptown Ft. Worth about twice a week. Usually on the weekend. Last time I was in Ft Worth, I saw 5 or so cafe racers driving around together which is why I asked

Howdy again. Haven't had much time to work on the bike till now, but I'm ALMOST done with wiring in everything. I have a few questions, however, that hopefully you guys can help me out with: I'm only planning on running a headlight, speedo and taillight. What would you guys recommend me do...

Quick question: I'm wiring in a small 2.5" speedo and it (like most speedos) has a power and a ground. But the stock speedo has three wires :doh:. My wiring diagram shows a ground, a white/green and a blue wire. So which one is the power and what does the other one do?

this is what I'm looking at you bunch o gays

Also, I've got a female connector dangling. My best guess was that it was a condenser, since I've been having starting problems. Any other ideas what it could be? I'll post a picture after work (yes I'm doing this at work)

Any link to where I can find that diagram? I can't find it on the wiring diagram thread

so I was going through the wiring on my motorcycle step by step with a wiring diagram in hand I got off this site... I found a missing condenser in addition to the fried flasher relay. Anybody know what the potential ramifications are of missing this? It looks like it's been missing for a while

still workin on a way to mount my taillights on the back end. And not to mention the wiring I have to match up:banghead:....bleh But it's at least starting to look like i want:thumbsup::

Working on getting the seat bolted on. Any info on how ppl get foam to attach to the seat? I have some memory foam I want to use, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to get it on there

Well I finally got all of that old busted up stuff off the front end. The headlight and gauges we pretty much spent. Any suggestions on a new speedo and headlight that will work for the bracket I have?

Also, I'm going to replace the headlight/gauges. What all is in the headlight case? I'm looking at a wiring diagram, but I don't want to just start pulling stuff off if I don't know what all it does.... There seems to be way more wires going into the headlight than one would expect..

I've been having problems with it starting consistently. The solenoid clicks rapidly sometimes when i hit the start button (and it's not a low battery thing). Could that be connected?

Oh yeah...duh...you're right. That makes sense. The flashers are the only electrical that doesn't work.

Update BTW can anyone tell me what this is and what could have done this? I don't like the looks of this...

pulled some pieces off my scooter to see if I can use them on the bike. I'm gona try to use these taillights cuz I want to take the signals off and have a real simple look. Still trying to decide if they are too modern for such an old bike...
