shovelhead wiring harness

Hi, its time to wire the shovel from scratch, does any one know where i can buy a wiring harness? or has anyone tried these harnesses that are available from aftermarket catologes? Im looking at the simplest way to wire the bike up. Any advice welcome, thanks

Simplst method is to bin the lights and MOT for daytime use and then run with a magneto - probably not the answer you was looking for......

You might try ebay.com, but i bought my wiring harness (73 FLH) from W&W, had no probs, the colour coding etc matched perfectly. I was fastidious about routing, soldering, connecting, taping, still i get 'some minor' electrical probs, it's the nature of the vibrating beast. Good luck.

I suspect the EasyRiders book - which I also have in the garage - will show something almost identical to this:


alternator with points: http://www.network54.com/Forum/47850...Shovel+version...



The *simplest* wiring means running no indicators (not mandatory on pre-86 registrations), no electric start, You'd be amazed at how much wiring that set-up, which I have, removes! And of course, points is even simpler.
