Started on the wiring install today and found a few issues.
1. Using S4 master cylinders as I am (instead of the M900 "coffins"), the front brake light switch is different and I have already wired up to the old type.
2. Changing the position of the battery has meant that most leads to it or associated with parts of the loom that join with them are too long.
3. Whilst I made up a jig which was a reasonable facsimile of the frame and the positions of various electrical switches and then built the loom off the bike, in most places I have been far too generous with the cabling to those points resulting in quite a lot of gash loom. I have two choices here: 1. take the connectors off, shorten the wires and re-make the connectors or leave the connectors and just chop lumps out of the wires and re-join them (solder and sheath them with heat-shrink sleeves)
Option 1 is the right way to do it but will take me lots and lots of time
Option 2 I will always regret doing but is probably the way I will go, given that I want to finish this bike before they nail down the lid.
