Wiring sub-harness replacements

[msnitker]

Hi All, new here, grateful for the knowledge across threads and topics! I am considering replacing the wire harness with a reproduction version, but am having a hard time finding sub harnesses--p/n, i.e., tail light sub harness, among others--does someone know if there are reproduction versions out there?

I've found the main harness easy to come by, so far, and read some of the discussions on quality, so that's fine.

Happy trails! Mikael

From my experience, if you can at all salvage/repair your original harness, that's the way to go.

I agree with Dave. There was a series of reproduction wiring harnesses that were excellent, the current crop is less-so. The work to restore your harness is not exotic - remove any electrical tape (as opposed to the harness tape) and see what’s beneath, and repair that. I like to ultrasonic clean the entire harness, but I have a big one (hehe), so that might not be practical. There are a few notorious problem areas - the red connectors under the right side cover, the ignition switch base, the red wires from the fuse link to the red two-wire connector. Stand by and I shall share a link, hope you use Facebook, because that’s where it is.

CBX's do not have a "fuseable link" they have a (stock) "dogbone" fuse under the cover of the starter solenoid.

A fuseable link is a special piece of wire used in automotive applications that burns and separates to open the circuit when overloaded. Honda doesn't use them.
