Hey all, I've been looking at this site for a while now... Tons of useful info and an all round good vibe.
I recently picked up an 82' heritage special, after a lot of debating with myself lol I'm gonna build a simple, clean cafe'ish xs! I've got so many ideas and inspiration from all of your bikes.
I'll be updating this thread as much as possible and would love some input and questions answered haha.
I'm looking to delete the stock harness and wire up a new simple and clean harness, much like Drewpy's FAQ thread.
I've been looking at the wiring diagrams in the FAQ section and have a fairly good idea how I'm going to wire this sucker the only difference I can find is I've got electronic ignition and most of the diagrams show points style systems.
Does anyone have a simple diagram for a bike with the ignition module, rectifier, regulator, no electric start and simple light circuits?
Lots to figure out, but I've got time there's still a lot of snow on the ground!
So far I've just done some disassembly and frame tidying up, Gonna have to run a battery (I'd rather not) but as far as I know they don't make the alternator mod for the 400's
The black & red complete bike I posted is the style I'd like to achieve (hope the original poster doesn't mind) and the wiring diagram is what i'd be aiming for as well....
I bought the bike in pieces and the original owner hacked the rear of the frame off, so i'll have to get creative with some fabricating. I mocked up a wood seat just to aid in the fabrication process.
Thanks a lot!
