Title: Headlight rear bowl
Post by: Stepdoug on Sunday, 28 August 2022, 05:45 AM
Ok. Picked bike up today :smitten:
Right question time.
Bike had twin headlights on when previous owner bought it.
So he has changed it to a single headlight.
But all the wires are now behind the outside of the bowl
Obviously this was done when the twins were fitted.
How big a hole do I need to drill to get the wires through with the blocks on.
Can anyone measure theirs
I have a feeling that it's an oval-ish hole
And what could I use to stop the wires rubbing through on the edge

Cheers

This might help you with wire routing in the bowl @Stepdoug

Cheers. Thought it was an oval hole.
Not sure now whether to just tape the wires up better and leave them behind the bowl. .
As they would be there if it still had the twins set on it. .
Got a few bits to change on it . So need to go play in man cave
