Z1R-1 Main harness replacement, MOSFET regulator, handlebar lock angle, key replacement and more

Well, it’s a holiday vibe all the way!

But the streets are empty. Hmm, it’s so warm—I’d love to go out a bit, but I have to hold back for now.
Everyone, let’s take a light breather and enjoy ourselves, then find other things to look forward to!

The original has characters engraved on it, I’m told—that’s some serious collector-level dedication.
We had a warehouse find from a discontinued item, so I installed it.

Battery lead finished! ♪ Or so I thought…

It was backwards. (I matched the length to the negative side.)
Seriously…

We stock various caps that are easy to work with.

Changed from spade terminals to a connector on the generator—makes disconnection easier.

Wiring goes straight to the MOSFET without going through the harness—shorter wiring means fewer potential problems, maybe?

I used the starter lead wire from a Suzuki GSX-R1100 K-N series.
It’s nice and long.

Next I’ll try to find one from Honda.

When replacing the starter relay, I prefer to use the OEM starter lead.

It’s carefully equipped with a rotation-stop tab.

Honda offsets it slightly, so it’s a bit tedious.

The ground lead from a GS1200SS is a good length, so I’ll use that.

Flag-type terminals like this are pretty rare, aren’t they? Hard to find retail sources.

The main harness ground connection point also uses a connector.
We want to quietly boost safety.

After much deliberation, I finally figured out how to mount the fuse box.
That’s how I laid it out.

This is the Honda fuse check and replacement work from the other day.

If I can find this terminal… the possibilities are endless, maybe?

The world of aftermarket harnesses runs deep—I think that every time.
