First time CB750 owners here. Unfortunately my son and I bought a frankenstein track build. The goal is to get it back to a street bike. It didn't have any lights when we bought it. We decided to replace the custom mess of a wiring system with the new OEM style harness from vintagecb750.com Everything seemed to have a place until I tried to power it all up. Not getting any POSITIVE power to the black wires. but if I connect a tester to the positive post and touch the connectors , the lights work! I'm hoping its something small and stupid but I don't want cause any damage trying to figure it out.
What were working with: All brand new - lithium battery, led signals and headlight, ricks reg/rec, blade fuses, led relay, key switch, brake switch... has original starter solenoid, upgraded points and dyna coils 3 (0hm).. not sure if the starter and alternator are original or repro, all connectors were checked, ground is secure, terminals are tight, battery charged, fuses not blown...
*side note... the bike ran fine before we stripped it down
.... and YES, were swapping to all LED , i know i know, but its my sons first street bike and safety matters more to me than preserving a bike that's far from original.
