Wiring loom routing

Hi Geoff, welcome. Can't help with the photos I'm afraid - I made notes I couldn't read & drew sketches I couldn't figure when I came to put it back together, but I'm sure someone will come along with pictures shortly. In the meantime, when you've posted a few more times, you can access the manuals section & section 2, Service Information, in the Honda manual has some useful diagrams, including the wiring inside the headlight shell.

Got the seat, tank & side covers off my 400NA at the mo. I'll take some pics of visible wiring tomorrow & post 'em up

P.S - just noticed that the tie wraps used in that build were non standard but you should still get the idea of where the loom kind of goes.

Fresh pics would help him for sure Ian.

I completely forgot about my 400N project in the back of the shed, I already had some 'photos of that, albeit the loom's semi-dismantled. The photos are a combination of these & some of the NA I took today. Starting with the headlight connections




The loom then runs back along the LH top tube, clipped to the fuel tank mounting (sorry, FB, plastic cable ties again.) The bullet connector is the kill switch connection from the CDI - disconnect this to eliminate kill switch starting issues.


The CDI connects to the coil on the other side of the frame, as well as running with the main loom down to the electrics panel behind the RH side cover





This is also where the loom from the alternator ends up. The connectors are colour coded & clip into sized cutouts in the panel


A sub-loom runs across the airbox to the battery/starter relay assy behind the LH side cover



Another bit goes off to the rear light & indicators



The sketches in the Honda manual are really helpful, so have a look at those & once you start putting it on, ask specific questions about what goes where. Good luck!
