Cutting blocks off the loom

CooS · DTR Senior Member

Im not 100% sure mate, but i would think it would work! As long as you crimped each bullet connection with some plier's or something like that......might take you a while to do it all though biggrin

EDIT: you could also use electrical shrink wrap, it's easy to use all you do is heat it up when you have your wire's in place with a heat gun or something aww

i can not see a reason why it would kill the loom just make sure you use heat shrink as coos said the out abit of elcetrical tape over aswell then you should be fine

if u do m8 get good quality connectors i.e with proper insulation, ones with rubber ends not the hard plastic ones and use heat shrink were ever u can urll add alot more life span to all ther connectors that way. if u use the cheaper ones with hard plastic u can wrap it up in insulation tape but after a while urll find that the tape will unstick to its self and ur loom will look tatty n horrible and then let moisture in and attack the connections=more resistance on the circuits=more strain on the battry=more strain on the charging system= headaches ect ect

also use hard but flexible cable trunking,,looks alot neater and adds more protection biggrin

u could change to these type of connectors they are alot flatter than standard plus they are exellent for keeping the elements out for thos off road boys its what im gonna use eventually

that's the plan mate , ive had them pretty dry all year but the bunch up is pissing me off.

I'll get some heat wrap and those connections you posted look good, can they be gotten offline?

It' only for the ones going to the handlebars

easy job, I do lots electrical work and have found maplins a good place to get the bits you want. But use a good Ratchet Crimping Tool not those crappy universal
wire striper/crimp tools...these are the ones I use.... http://www.screwfix.com/prods/70036/Hand-Tools/Forge-Steel/Pliers-Cutters/Crimpers/Ratchet-Crimping-Tool they make the job a lot easer with stronger connections.
