Re: Wiring and connectors behind headlight

DSC_6106a.jpg I am still struggling with this. The best I could do was stuff the white connector in to the extreme left, the black connector into the centre left, and the red connector into the centre right. One connector (wired to the right handle bar controls) didn't seem to fit and had a boot on...

Re: Wiring and connectors behind headlight

Thanks guys; I'll give it another try. I had a feeling that the plastic thing at the back was designed to hold the connectors.

Wiring and connectors behind headlight

I am reassembling a 1982 Honda CB 650 (that was taken apart by somebody else) and discovered that many of the connectors are located behind the headlight. Is there a specific location for the connectors or are they just stuffed in there anywhere? If someone could send me a photo with the headlight r...

Re: More Mystery Extra Parts

Thank you! I just found it. I had plugged the threaded hole with wood when I painted the frame and couldn't see it 'cause it is hard to see down there. Many thanks :D

Re: More Mystery Extra Parts

Well, it makes sense; but still haven't found it. I'll take another look tomorrow. Sure is crowded down there. Perhaps I should have put it in before the engine went in! If you can photograph what it bolts to it would help. Thanks so far.

Re: Easy way to remove and reinstall large springs

Fancy trick with the pennies! But I just use a wire or a cord loop and pull it into position. Then take away the loop.

Re: Mystery extra parts

Thanks MiGhost, I suppose if I didn't it would eventually stall in rainy weather. I will make sure that the hose will be clean as I am doing with all the bits I am reassembling. Thanks again for the tip.

Re: Mystery extra parts

The bike is an '82 Honda CB650. Yes, I cleaned out the tank; it had nine pin-hole leaks! Thanks for the tip regarding pinch bolts for the centre stand to hold the vent hoses from the tire. It makes sense but now I have to find the vent hoses! Perhaps they were chucked by the former owner. Sorry abou...

Mystery extra parts

My son took his bike apart and put all the parts in three cardboard boxes. When he couldn't get them back together again, I took over the project. I have two pieces left over which I couldn't find on the parts lists, diagrams, or instruction book. They are covered with road dust and grease indicatin...
