Posts: 5	Rewiring 03 LS650 12/11/17 at 09:24:22 Good morning, I am mid build on my savage bobber and once I complete the hardtail addition this week, I will begin the wiring part. I am moving the battery to a different location. While I'm this deep into it.. Are there any parts of the wiring harness that I do not need?? There is so much and makes everything look cluttered.

If not that can go. What about the "safety" interlocks? They too can go. Other then those, I'd say everything else is a necessity.

I've labeled and removed the entire wiring harness since making this post. Found several wiring diagrams used for bobbers as well as one from Ruttly. I will likely just put everything back where it was until I have a better understanding of it. I've got some knowledge of electrical but all my work experience is in fabricating and mechanical. I used to build race cars years ago so motorcycles are pretty new to me. Wish me luck.
I would post pictures of my progress so far if I could. I'm brand new on this site. It only seems to let me take a picture.

I removed everything and installed a 2" long bolt, so all I need to do is push it with my thumb to open the valves. Simple and it works. It is almost unnoticeable.
