Finish the Rebel, go for a ride. The rest of your plan will come to you

[LarryA]

I agree...finish the rebel, then you can let the gears in your head "freewheel" for awhile.

This Junction Box is my problem (besides me) I cut the wires too short, So the tail wires are on the left side and the harness wires to them are on the right side, so I need a long skinny 8"ish x 2.5 x 2.5 max so it will not get hit from coilover movement, I do not want to start all over with the wiring so this the last ditch save, DAMN could only find one on the eBay, In China only one month deliver and now back order sooooo.....

[LarryA]

look for a trailer light junction box...they are plastic and longer than what you have...like NAPA or a trailer supply company....

[TomyJ]

--------J-Box is here, check the fit, location of holes and the clamps...

[TomyJ]

3 of 4 holes in primer---J-Box Install, 4 groups of wires--Wiring connectors next,

[TomyJ]

-J-Box cover is on Brakes, Tail, Signals, all seem to work from the pedal, levers, Have a problem with the turn signals at the handlebars.

RebelRouser waiting on the back burner, "Did I tell ya I HATE WIRING".

[TomyJ]

Still house hunting, Prices are so crazy high right now, should have done it much sooner, Damn me... Have not rode RebelRouser yet and it's getting to me... PROBLEM, The engine starts and stay's running in idle, as soon as I give the gas it dies or starts to, sprayed carb and manifold for Vacuum leak with WD-40 when running and nothing, short of a carb rebuild what else could the problem be ??? Remember all is stock engine and wiring harness, Honda 2000 Rebel 250CC.

[TomyJ]

Gone to the bike shop for some carb and wire work...

[goodwrench]

carb main jet may be plugged or the diphram on top could have tear in it.

Would you believe? there are "2" white 6 pin connecters and I mixed them up, BUT! 1 was up front of the engine and the other at the rear so how can this happen, (damn beginner-me) engine runs and idles great. Should make a deal on a house this week, I changed escrow people twice and realtors 5 times, WHY! Lazy and NOT thinking outside the box for my needs (hot rod and Trike working areas)...

[Jack Klarich]

Progress is a funny animal

Keep at it , I enjoy your threads

OK Guys, The Manufactured Home is in Escrow. The GI Loan will not work now because the prices are too high now, so my $207,000. loan amount is out, Let me tell you something about a GI loan, It must pass inspection (no fixing), must have land, must have permanite foundation, State of Ca. mandated June 1976 stronger laws for Manufactured homes such the title and not "Mobil Home". SO! We take the savings and buying Manufactured home 1985, with 12WX56L drive way, 8x12 He Shed, East side has 16WX56L + 12' Drive that I will turn into a 6 car garage. It's nice having remodel skills... I hope to be moved in by Feb. 01

[Jack Klarich]

Best of luck, a 6 car garage, WOW

[TomyJ]

This is going to take a while....-No golf course here...

[TomyJ]

This is how to get 3x3 extra feet for your work space, extra side paneling coming soon...

[TomyJ]

This little at a time sucks...

[Jack Klarich]

Yes for sure wiring sucks, but you are taking prudent time to get it right the first time

That is a big plus IMO

Nothing worse than an electrical fire

I had a 96 Electra Glide catch fire on the way home from Sturgis years ago, the battery cable to the starter shorted out on the exhaust, It wasn't pretty

Merry Christmas
