Question for those who have gone naked...

Do any of you out there have some tips/tricks for hiding wires? I have a fairly big bundle of wire that will not fit behind my new headlight and I'm trying to keep the stock wiring harness together without modification.....

Thanks,
Nick

When I did mine I did not want to cut the harness before I new that I liked it. What I did was strip the harness of the factory casing making it easier to shape it the way I needed, then I used wire harness wrapping that can be bought at any auto parts. I wrapped it tight and tucked it up against the light.

That's a good idea. Would you happen to have any pictures of how it turned out?

Thanks,
Nick

Here ya go! I actually plan on cutting it up this weekend, and cleaning it up a little more. I have no plan on putting the fairing back on!

That looks really good. Thank you for the picture.

I removed all the wrapping tape and cut about 12-14 inches out. Just solder the wires together and use heat-shrink sleeves (and tape off to moisture seal) to make it nice and tidy. :thumbup: It's a little more work but it makes it so much cleaner.

Note: don't forget to slide one end of the wire into the heat shrink sleeve before soldering. Can't tell you how many times I've done that. :banghead:

That's another good idea. Thanks Tom!

I just rolled it in a loop and clamped it man. I am a strange person though.

HAHA I'm not sure why that made me laugh, but it did.....

Do you have any pictures of it?

Nothing close up but these should work, they were tiny thumbnails though so I hope they are good enough.

maybe this one will go thru man.

If not I give up. Normally I am in a good mood and try to help out, but f it today. My family sucks so freaking bad. I am just f-ing disgusted with everthing today.

Thank you for the picture.

Hopefully today is a better day for you.

I just bought the naked version, much easier (and cheaper)

Oh man, that's hot. I may just have to go naked after all. I already have one naked bike though... oh the choices I have to make in life!

Are those the Aztec8 headlights? I put some on my GS500 and the bulbs keep burning out. I wonder if it's related to vibration or if it's electrical because I now have two 60/55W bulbs whereas before I had only one.

If you want a clean look, but still want to be able to return to stock, just find a harness off a wrecked bike to chop up. You'll be glad you did.

Thanks for all of the input guys.

Your turn signals are upside down, the holes go on the bottom.
