    I got no reference here...this thing had a damn Vetter fairing on it before and they really kluged things up to do it...now I'm slowly getting it back how it should be.

    Got my used correct headlights and hardware, and got the wiring run through the bucket like it should be.

    But I need to see how those two big harnesses route as they pass the frame neck...they are just hanging out from under the gas tank on either side...know that's not right.

    Could someone take a couple of pics, or describe how they run?

    Thanks!

    Yeah that's how I got em run coming into the bucket, seemed like the memory bend was taking them that way...but as they come forward, they are just draped hanging out alongside the frame and drooping below the front of the tank...doesn't look right

    the frame neck reflectors are missing, but that's right where they hang, across that area...not right...

    I don't have a 750, and am not exactly sure at all, but... My first guess would be to route it in under the hollow part of the tank where the electrics run, no? Along the frame?

    over the tank rubbers under the tunnel in the tank. Then down thru the wiring hoop in the first pic, then back up into the headlight bucket.

    Same side of the tank or one on each how it is? Was wondering if that hoop didn't play into it somehow...couldn't find anything that seemed to need to be in there....

    Also...under the gusset in the top of the neck? There's a small round retainer up under there that looks like it could hold one side in place, but not both.

    Wish I could just see how one run correct looks...

    Good stuff Dan, thank you. I see now! I thought this had to be way out of place. Only bad part is now I gotta disconnect all my wiring I ran in to the bucket again to re-route. LOL.
