\nThe KL harness is a bit cumbersome. The MN just seems to wrap up so neatly\u2014that’s the impression I get.
\nMaybe it would be better to go all MN? That question has been nagging at me.
\nI did a comparison with used harnesses for the first time, maybe.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI aligned and checked the reference points marked with white tape.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThey overlap, but the battery area is almost identical.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe igniter area is almost identical.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nFront side.
\nKL on the left\u2014integrated design.
\nMN on the right\u2014separated design.<\/p>\n

The KL has a pocket around the headlight area with switch couplers inside it.
\nThe MN has switch couplers distributed around the left and right ducts.<\/p>\n

A small difference makes things so much cleaner.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWatch out\u2014the headlight harness couplers are different.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThis is the KL.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThis is the MN.
\nThe rear also has that separated versus integrated feel. It’s usable with just a difference in the tail lamp couplers.<\/p>\n

With a full fairing, I think using an MN harness on a KL could work.
\nI’ll lay it out and think about it next time.<\/p>\n

See you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
