Wiring Harness Mess
« on: March 31, 2018, 05:46:56 PM »
I got the motor on the frame, with only minor grinding to the drop outs. I just have to install the Torque arm, and the LCD Display. However, I noticed I have quite the mess with the wiring now. It's much too long for my frame and I'm not sure what to do with the extra slack. Suggestions ?

If tou don't wnat to snip any cables and repalce connectors, you could buy a small corner frame bag and stuff the excess into it.  And get yourself a bag of cable ties and run all wiring along the frame neatly

I have cable ties. There is no other way to have them snug against the frame. I ended up just puttin the exess into a loop and rested it on the frame.

A few years back I had the same problem . I used selfvulcanizing tape to fix the excess cabling to the frame -still works

Stuffed excess wiring, connectors, and amp shunt in a front panel box and make-up box in the back. When things get sorted may try to get things in my rather wide downtube...
