Simple Motorcycle Wiring Diagram for Choppers and Cafe Racers » Evan Fell Motorcycle Works

Sometimes people are just trying to fix their blinkers and aren’t familiar with how motorcycle electrics work – but more often than not I get requests about trimming down electronics for custom riders. An essential part of building any sort of chopper, bobber, cafe racer, brat bike, or rat rod is getting rid of all the unnecessary items. These days I just grab my wire snips and start trimming away with no regard for common sense and caution – but if you are working with your first wiring loom I’m going to try and give you some guidance right now. You might have checked the wiring diagram for your bike already and seen something like this: Seven Sins Choppers - Quality American Made Custom Motorcycle Parts. Backstreet Buckets. Gallery. The Vintagent. The Selvedge Yard. Wing Nuts Motorcycle Club. Pipeburn - Purveyors of Classic Motorcycles, Cafe Racers & Custom motorbikes.

How to: Make your own custom length cables - Greatest Hits. Figured id share this here - i agree we need more tech / build stuff - only one way thats going to happen - we post it....a friend of mine asked me to show him how to make up cables so he didnt have to either pay out for custom cables or have yards of spare on his bike.its fairly self explanitory, but like all stuff - if nobody has ever told you then its a black art.i buy the longest universal cables available and cut em down [specific brake or clutch, get the right thickness]solder and bakers fluid - dont use fluxcore its not upto the job use a propper old fashioned soldering iron not a pissy little electric thing feed the cable through the nipple and splay the ends out so i cant fall / pull out heat from the side with the soldering iron - for this job you dot need to put solder directly onto the iron.
