Sportster 1200: Little by Little Changes

 

 
Fabricating brake hoses
 

 
Simple layout
Let’s also think about maintenance after the hose replacement.
• Fluid should be easy to change
• Caliper removal and installation should be easy
• The hose shouldn’t rub against things as much as possible
• Of course, it shouldn’t be stretched out and too long
• It shouldn’t get in the way of the front stand
When you factor in the simplicity of the layout, it always ends up being “hmm?” a compromise or not.
 

 
Swap out the big tank for a mini one, make a bracket, achieve unity? Hmm
On hold
 

 
Some mysterious German connector…
Modifying the main side is basically not an option…
Cut it, solder it, and reuse it?
Throw in a connector that Daytona carries, which is convenient and well-known?
But I definitely don’t have a crimper for this kind of shape, though I kind of want one…
Both sides had 6-pin connectors with a very simple layout.
 

 
Since I don’t have Harley or Honda wiring diagrams, I ended up checking continuity the analog way, by eye.
Phew
