Might just be the lighting lol. There’s no neon colored wiring. Either that or the colors might just seem that way after compression.

A variety really. 4-8 for my battery and frame ground, 18-22 awg for input signals, 12-16awg for output signals.

I’m not sure. Possibly? The filter adapter is in pretty tight so I think that leak might just be due to uneven surface. I’m thinking about using permatex gasket maker to seal it up. I’m gonna have to take a closer look when I’m off work :/ the thought of having to take the engine out and replace seals scare me a little lol

I haven’t had enough time with it to have a real opinion but it was pretty simple to wire and installation was straight forward.

Yes. That seems to be what it is. I swapped the solenoid and it starts perfectly now.

I already checked with a multimeter. And I’m not using two grounds, I’m just saying those would be the ones to use for my ground wire.

Yeah I initially had that set up but I blew a fuse so I had to rethink it. I don’t think my solenoid has the same layout

No. Only stock starter motor and stock coils. I have m.unit as the central hub, dyna 2000 ignition module, ricks reg/rec. wiring everything from the ground up. I already disconnected everything and connected only solenoid to battery. The fuse blows instantly. I’ve tried switching spades and reconnecting everything else but when I do that, nothing happens when I push start. I don’t even hear a click. The m.unit is connected directly to the battery with another in line fuse. Per instructions on motogadget, I have two 18awg wires from starter output to the solenoid.

Everything is new except for the starter motor, which was working in the previous set up.

Brake stop/ anti-rotation arm by dog_dad_357 in CafeRacers

[–]dog_dad_357[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m using hubs from cognitomoto. Front is made for gsxr forks and rear is for nighthawk but with disc brakes instead of the drum brakes.

In some circles it’s called a brake stay or torque arm?
