Have you had any luck sourcing a wiring harness Guy. You could try http://www.cwswiring.com/Home.php in the US. They make sublooms, but if you look closely there is a link to a page showing a complete new harness and their quality looks very good. Crofty

I've ordered a new loom for my 650 from them. It will cost $230 which is more than the 900 replica looms which are readily available, but for a hand-made bespoke item I don't think it is too bad especially if it alleviates the gremlins that cause so many problems with 30 year old looms.

Thats a good price all things considered CS, I hates doing bloody wiring.

That's what I thought Jim. I hate electrical problems as they can be really frustrating and time-consuming to sort out so a new loom goes a long way towards overcoming any potential issues and justifies the outlay.

Thanks for the heads up Jim...but i think i have to bite the bullet and get a one off loom made...Mark Hutton said that he could do this for me...but with Chimbo coming it won't be until the new year.

I know i haven't posted anything on there for a month or so...so theres a update.

Brake lines for the front brakes...all made and working (i won't bore you with a pic) we all know what brake lines look like.

Taylor HT leads on and looking nice.

But on Monday i went and saw a chap called Hywel at Spot On Control Cables after i was told he could make me a chain guard.

I made up a cardboard template and gave it to him-like i say on Monday.
Friday i get a call saying its all ready to be picked up

Yesterday afternoon was spent drilling and making sure it fitted nicely without hitting the chain.

Today was polishing day for the guard...which took me about 3 hours

Anyway thers some pics...

Looking superb Guy

A level and an amount of polishing that would give me the shits even thinking about it

[Pigford]

Love that guard Guy - real oldskool looks matey

I was gonna say, I'll need me sunglasses once that's out & about, but I think I'd best revise that & wear some welding goggles instead.

A large paper bag would be better for you GB
