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.
1978 Harley Davidson FXR
“I want to put a stock headlight back on”, said owner Mark. One snag: the existing headlight was stuffed with wires.
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.
1978 BSA GT50
16 year-old Max bought the bike as a half-finished project. The loom had been damaged and patched up.
1997 Ducati M900
Nearly every Monster needs new starter and battery cables after 15 years, because the starter motor sits behind the front tyre.
1960 BSA A50
A typical old Brit whose wiring had rotted thanks to decades of oil. The new loom uses Japanese connectors.
