1952 Vincent Black Shadow
This is me road testing owner Mark’s Vincent. It just needed a new central loom section, and a charging problem fixing.
Radical Ducati ST2
A father-and-son project that needed a total rethink of the stock loom, and most of the bits it joins to. But what a bike.
1978 Morini 350 Strada
Owner Mark looking understandably pleased with his rejuvenated Morini 350. What a beautiful bike.
Norton Atlas cafe racer
Boyer ignition, battery in the seat hump, reg/rec in place of the old zener diode, and replica Lucas switchgear.
1995 NX650 street tracker
A new loom was the finishing touch to an otherwise complete street tracker bike with a CG125 tank and upside down forks.
Honda NSR500 replica
Money-no-object 500 GP replica
Gary’s Matchless
LED indicators and total loss battery system for a gorgeous old thumper
1960 Panther M100
Complete new loom for stock dynamo and magneto setup, indicators, 60/55W headlight, sat nav, heated grips and coil ignition.
1980 GSX1100 CRC Harris Magnum
Another CRC bike with Deutsch connectors, Smiths clocks, Motogadget warning lights, and a D-Unit interpreter box for the Ducati Hypermotard switchgear.
1981 Morini 500 Camel
Owned by Classic Bike editor Hugo Wilson who featured its restoration and rewire in the mag in 2011/12. Here it is during an off-road tour of the Pyrenees.
1978 Honda CBX1000 CRC special
This is, without doubt, the craziest thing I’ve done. It’s a unique bike designed and built by CRC Motorcycles in Wembley, with fully bespoke electrics.
Yamaha OW01 racer
This is Peter Boast’s Classic Superbike, featured in Bike in 2014. The original loom had rotted so we started from scratch.
1997 Ducati M900
Nearly every Monster needs new starter and battery cables after 15 years, because the starter motor sits behind the front tyre.
