has nobody in the know ever thought of making up a wiring harness board and manufacturing quality harnesses, could the club not stump up for the board.
i have the idea from another club where i am buying a new harness for a bike, they were no longer in production for my machine.

I think the problem is its boards not board.

Z1 - Z1B
Z900
Z1000 a1-a2
Z1000 a3-a4
Z1R D1
Z1R D2/3
Z1000H

etc etc

then if you add in the cost of components and time I can only see it being worth doing for anything than is not readily available such as Z1, Z900, Z1000

hmm yes agreed, i thought the early looms were not available, have they become available again now then? but if there was someone in the know, could there not be a fairly pleasant home based earner in it? especially as some of us are approaching retirement age and could do with a way to keep the central heating on come November :??

I spoke with Achim from Berlin whilst at Edersee.

He is manufacturing new looms using German components. I think thy were 200 Euros.

Z1-Z1b repro harnesses cost £60 from z1parts good quality, Achim makes many parts but is not keen to sell them, most are for his own use.

Your right, £67 for the main loom from zpower with discount, and a 4 piece loom from z1 parts £74.00 inc coloured junction blocks if you use the code "GET15"

I bought the z-power one last year but it doesn't have the coloured plugs. I also bought the ones like Z1-parts are selling although I bought it from this seller in France. It was €125 but is now €159.
I had looked at building from sxcratch but the plug blocks are expensive and it was cheaper - and probably a better result to buy these. I think they are PMC.

i didnt realize they were making them for the early zeds, they wernt a few years ago and i was having trouble with brittle wires snapping inside the plastic. they dont make looms for my current bike and im bidding on one made by a chap who has made a loom board. thats where i got the idea for you guys, but ho hum, could still be a way for someone in the know to make a few quid from home, always a nice way to earn.

Just wish someone was doing the wiring for the handlebar switches. Especially the EU ones, Ive got a load of sets I've sprayed up but all of them have fucked wiring. The semicircular dip switch contact board warps and breaks very easily.
