BRIGHT SPARK!
Now my Welsh Flat Tracker lives again, and runs nicely; I'm looking to improve the reliability and safety of the electrical system.
The wiring loom looks like the bastard son of Frankenstein's monster and Dracula's bride.
+ =
As this bike was a custom build and the loom has been hacked into and 'made to work' with a collection of non-original lights and switches.
The headlight and rear light suit the build but I cannot find any manufacturing marks to identify their origin.
Front light has main & dipped beam working off the left hand switch.; but the 'pass light' is not operational.
Rear light works as does the brake light from front lever & foot brake.
Lights are constantly on when the ignition is turned on; engine running or not.
Currently no indicators are fitted, front or rear. The wiring for them seems to be present in both the switch and the loom.
My intention is to install a discrete set of LED indicators from Motogadget; this will add some safety to the ride making me more visible to the myopic boneheads, both male and female, that drive 4 wheel boxes around these parts.
My problem is that I'm unsure if the LED indicator kit will work with the loom bits and bobs currently on the bike (Images below):
1. Shows general view
2. Beige box named 'Reserve Lighting Device' & two other small items?
3. Regulator / Rectifier, Starter Solenoid & 'Hitachi Ignition Unit.
4. Ignition Unit & Fuse Box.
5. Connector for rear light. Also has I believe unconnected Indicator cables tied.
Switch Gear is not branded; is decent quality, but looks to be from another machine.
All cables are intact inside including the indicators left / right pan - push to cancel.
Pass light on front is inoperative.
High and low switch is connected and works.
So my Question is do you think the LED's would work with the current Franken-Bride loom?
Would I need a Motogadget Flasher / Resistor thingy?
Or should I go the whole nine yards and install a full Motogadget Kit / Loom to replace the stuff I have?
Your input is greatly valued......
