Wiring Loom - Ditch it, hack it, or keep it?

ali · 11-Jan-2005, 18:28

Evenin' all.

Been running through a few of the more obvious mods necessary for prepping the SS and wondering what to do with the wiring loom. Seems like the vast majority of the loom will be surplus to requirements, but I wouldn't mind keeping it in case the bike ever goes back on the roads (

).

Ditch it and start from scratch, hack it to pieces, or zip-tie it and hide it????

Cheers,

Ali

If it ain't broke...

Seems a lot of trouble to go to when the only advantage would be to lose a couple of pounds.

Not really interested in the weight (although it's always a bonus), more for fault finding when something goes t1ts up... I know that if nothing's connected then it shouldn't have an effect, but logic seems to go out the window when it comes to italian electrics!

Depends how you see the future for your bike, I would like to keep mine road legal which also means I could enter it in the Streetstocks class with other clubs. Also I may look at returning to road use for re-SALE
