Z900 Headlight Wiring - photos please

#1 PostAuthor: Andrew_s » Tue Apr 21, 2020 6:11 pm

Can someone post a high-res photo or two of the inside of a correctly wired Z900, including the block connectors?

Thanks,
Andrew

OK, that worked !!

This is the headlight fitted to my Z900-A4. Although it is a Cibie light unit the wiring is pretty much as it came from the factory in terms of routing etc.
I do still have the original light unit, but changed it for this Cibie unit many years ago.
I have owned the bike from new so, although it is not 100% as it was when it left the factory I would like to bet it is as close as you're ever likely to find these days.
The inner surface of the headlight shell has been sprayed with Dinitrol a good few years ago, which explains the slightly mottled look.

I have re-sized these pictures so if they are not clear enough for you I can send you the originals if you PM me.

That's great, many thanks - its always good to see a factory set-up! I'll drop you a PM as the photo of the inner shell that I downloaded is only 176KB and I would be grateful if you could email me a Hi-res version.
