New Problems
« 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.
'81 R65
'82 R65 LS
'84 R65 LS
'87 Moto Guzzi V65 Lario
'02 R1150R
Riding all year long since 1993 .
I'll give up my R65, when they pry my cold dead hands from the handlebars !!!!!
