Hello all,
Newbie here, pleasure to be part of the forum among brilliant RE minds.
I was recently given a 2006 Sixty-5 that needs some love. The previous owner wanted to go for a chopper/bobber look and removed a ton of the original parts. To be frank I thought it looked awful, and thus I began the long journey to restoring it back to her original look, and more importantly making it street legal so I can use it as a commuter.
This is my first bike and I've really been enjoying working on it even with a very limited knowledge of anything RE or motorcycles in general for that matter, but I love to learn and research.
Currently the bike has no indicators, front or rear. I just bought the rear plate holder/stop light/ indicator assembly as well as the rear wiring harness. Now the problem is the original owner completely rewired the bike relocating all electrics to the front of the tank on the frame, and of course I have no idea how to rewire it back to the original specs. I ordered the rear indicators thinking it would be a simple plug and play only to realize how wrong I was upon looking at the wiring on the indicators.
There are a few other issues with the bike as well, the Mikuni carb on it is leaking fuel, as well as the gas tank. But I'd really like to tackle the wiring issue.
I have a wiring diagram and have a very basic understanding of how it's supposed to be wired, if anyone has any tips on where to start I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks so much!
