K2750tracy, My end game set up seemed to be exactly what you're running. Problem is by that time my CB750 will be my daily driver. What do you get gas mileage wise, and do you wake the neighbors when you crack the throttle?

O.o Hey, look at that, awesome!

I left the High/Low beam alone. I thought it best not to mess with it as it seemed complicated. When I go to replace the left hand side I'll do something fun then. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll wire tie it, tape it, then put a nice metallic clamp over it once I'm all done.

Wicked, worked first try. I'll be back on the road tomorrow with some luck. Just need to buy lube for the new throttle cables. Now I'm not sure how I'll be fastening the switch onto the bike perminently, so any suggestions there are welcome. I'm putting it under the gas tank for now..With a lot...

I don't think I'm ready for a whole rewiring, as fun as it sounds. Maybe later on when I upgrading to a solid state ignition? That seems like a good thing to do all at once. Here are a few pictures of the switch I found. I'm thinking of putting it under the gas tank somewhere along the frame...

Sorry about the late updates, been a really busy ass week at work. Just got around to trying to bypass the off/on/off switch. Ran into a slight problem, the headlight switch. My plan is to rig a bomber-esque switch at the center of the handle bars (triple tree area) and use that for the...

Pick me! I like parts!

Ah-Ha! Yes! I was actually going to post later on about electronic ignitions. I saw one on the CycleX forum that was crazy pricey, yet seemed to get the job done. Is there much fabrication work worth installing an electronic ignition system? And of course, if you recommend a specific brand I'd...

This bike is probably the best running machine I've ever sat on. The guy who owned it previously was a carburetor magician. He even taught me how to rebuild/sync my old KZ's carbs. I don't foresee any issues with the Honda anytime soon. Also looking to keep the engine stock. It's such a...

My plan is to make it kick start only. I'll leave some of the wire capped off in the headlight apposed to removing it entirely, just incase later I'd like to restore it.

First of all I'd like to say hi, my name is Rick, and I'm an addict. I really enjoy these old motorcycles though I've been lucky enough over the last three years to skirt heavy electrical issues. I started riding when I was 17, and shifted my weight to older model bikes over the years. This is...
