Scooterotica

Calling all you cutdown creators!

I am about to run the wiring loom for my cutdown through the frame, I want it to enter the frame somewhere near the rear cable mounting, so wheres the best place to make the hole or should i run it through the frame starting near the fork tube?

I have all my cables and my loom running through my frame. All enter from the head set via 2 slotted holes in the tube about an inch or so below the chrome ring which are both hidden by the legsheilds. The loom then runs all the way through the tube and exits from the very end of the tube under the seat where they are th connected to both boxes and an augusto. I used a scooter loopy bracket to house both boxes. There is also a hole drilled just after the back brake under the floorboards for the wiring for the back light, also have front brake wired in from this spot too.

Wiring from the stator goes also through the frame from a hole more or less directly abovewhere it exits the stator and this then comes out the very end of the tube as per the loom. I then ran the ht lead back from the opeining at the end of the tube and this now exits from the right hand side of the tube just below the tool box straight onto the plug.

All very neat and tidy, the only wiring you can see is the 4 or so inches where it exits the stator and goes into the frame.. The gear and clutch cables come out on the right hand side of the tube just below where the air box would have been, this is a vertical sort of slot so they run correctly into the controls. ....

Hope this helps

Im in Braintree, if your local your welcome to pop over and have a butchers. We have a breakfast club meeting every sunday so that might be a good time to pop over. Weathers not looking to good for the weekend though...

Thanks for that advice, its given me some ideas to work on.

As for coming to have a look, being a namby pamby southener its a bit to cold to ride from Canvey to Braintree this time of the year lol but thanks for the offer, may do it when the weather improves

Try put some rubber grommets where the wires enter and leave the loop to stop the wire from chafing.

This is how I did it on my Lui,same sort of idea?
I'm also looking for a way to hide the loom/cables from the frame to the headset with no legshields on a Ser 3 frame

Would appreciate it if you could do that

If my digi was working I'd show what I did.
Wack, don't you reckon putting that top hole were it is instead of on the side, you've weakend that frame considerably? Same with the one where the bridge piece is? Those areas are where the frame stresses the most. Putting them on the side would give max strength I reckon.

Thats why im asking the question about where to make the holes, dont want the frame collapsing on me after ive done it.

Also do you leave the loom in its sleeving or remove it to give it a smaller diameter?
