The past 3 weeks I unfortunately didn't have much time to work on the quad bike so not much has happened. But I did make a start already on the wire harness.

First I started with placing the waterproof connectors on all of the wires. A lot of time went into this. I do have a special tool for this but there are quite a lot of wires where I have to crimp the contacts onto.

Here with just the contacts and rubbers on there.

Then I placed the connector enclosures on there.

I've done the same with all of the switches on the gauge plate.

This weekend I could finally start with the wire harness itself. I just found out already that I don't have enough wires and also not enough connectors. So I'll have to wait for that to be able to continue again. But I do already have a few wires done.

Meanwhile I also had to modify the handlebar switch a bit. I saw in the diagram of it that it has to be connected in a different way than the original one I had. The killswitch and horn used the same + wire, that would never work well in my case. So I gave the horn a seperate + wire and I also switched around the wires for the killswitch so the icons will match with what it actually does. Was a bit easier than having to adapt the whole wire harness to this.

The coming days I'll continue with the wire harness again, this is the kind of work that I really like.
