Title: New Problems
Post by: awaffa2003 on November 11, 2007, 12:07:47 AM

as my revamping project has been slowly chugging along, ive ran into some problems. first of all i shorted out some stuff and a fire started underneath my tank and i almost died....i ripped off my tank and started to blow on this fire and it wouldnt go out so i ripped out my ground cable from where the speedo cable goes, that seemed to stop it. i almost died again when i saw exactly what i did and realized that i have to replace the whole chassis wiring loom. and suggestions, and/or spare wiring looms hangin around? lol

Harnesses come up on e-Bay from time-to-time.

Make sure you don't get a wiring harness from a '79 or '80 model year R65, the wiring harness is different than the '81 and later R65's.
