    Complete tear down of my XJ for paint and cleanup and didn't take pics as I went. Now its time to re-run the main harness and I am struggling. (The project has run 6 months longer than expected, work picked up, and now I'm a bit rusty on where everything was run.)

    Anyone have some pics or know the link of the harness runs? The Haynes manual has helped but is lacking in detail.

    Jammer, hey, these harnesses aren't too difficult even if you don't remember where it goes. Here's the best thing to do for now, and probably the easiest:

    Take a picture of the area you need to see. Post THAT pic to the list. Ask for someone with the same bike to take a pic of the SAME spot on their bike. I would suggest starting the harness from the middle of the bike. that way if you have to snake some of it through, you don't have to do the WHOLE thing through.

    Hope that suggestion makes sense.

    Yeah, I have the harness on the frame but need the detail. Seems like everything is either an inch away from the relay, making the corner round the air-box or into the bucket. Now after two hours this afternoon messing and shifting I figured that it was time to ask for help.
