<\/a><\/p>\nAn amazing and on-path start to this project. During the same week, I placed orders for a main wiring harness and the front sub-harness. The latter was going to just be a direct replacement of my cut one, the main wiring harness, on the other hand, was destined for a more grim fate. I thoroughly cannibalized it.<\/p>\n
After slapping on the stock fairing stay and the headlights, it was time to take on the wiring.<\/p>\n Here’s a beefy connector I had stupidly chopped off, now restituted. <\/p>\n With the Brembo GP master cylinder, there was no brake switch on it. I ended up buying a Brembo microswitch and an expensive bracket to accompany it. Since the bracket replaces the lever pin, I had to get another Brembo lever to salvage a new retainer clip. No wires came with the microswitch, so I made my own and finished it off with a mesh cable sleeving. <\/p>\n The front of the bike was mostly situated wiring wise, so it was time to turn my attention to the rear. First, I cut off a section of the plastic undertray…<\/p>\n For this light…<\/p>\n I’ll expand on that stuff later on. As a bonus, here is a picture depicting the amount of exit angle of the TiForce exhaust has.<\/p>\n After an ample amount of soldering and heat-shrinking later, I was finally at a point where I thought the bike’s wiring was taken care of. This was late at night, and I wanted to test out the tail light before going to bed. I tentatively connected everything up, and flipped the switch… Running lights, Check. Left turn signal, Check. Right turn signal, Check. Brake light… BRAKE LIGHT?!?! I continued to futilely pull on the brake lever, yet all I saw was the running light. I then proceeded to shit my pants. I was confident that my wiring work thus far was correct, and it was going to be a nightmare figuring out why the brake light wasn’t actuating. I wouldn’t wish such a situation upon anyone. I ran tests with a spare brake switch, a spare control assembly, and a spare tail light. Nothing. <\/p>\n I got whatever sleep I could, and picked it up the next day. I retested and rechecked everything. I reopened wiring to triple check. Finally, I located the 2 wires in the tail that were supposed to connect to the rear brake switch (which I omitted), and gave them a try. Thankfully, these wires worked. I reconfigured the front brake switch setup and rerouted a pair of wires to the rear, and I was back in business. As a fringe benefit from this method of routing, the amount of clutter in the front by the controls is less noticeable. Here’s a look at my confinement of trial during the whole brake light ordeal. <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
