Wiring is the killer of a clean motorcycle .
To fix this most guys run the wire in the frame . The big issue there is they usually don't do it before they paint the bike or they drill small holes for single wire . This has never looked right to me so I do it my own way as follows.
1 drill hole for wire to go through . I lay out my wire plan during fab then do all this work after tear down .
2. The next step id to tack a washer and hammer it down for a nice tight fit .
3. Weld all the way around the washer inside and out . When you weld the inside it burns out any burrs left in the hole .
4. On this bike there was lots of wasted space under the tank so that is where most of the electrical is hidden .
5. The fairing supports where cut off to fit a springer . It made for a great place to run the wire through . Just welded a washer around the hole first .
Once this is back from powder coat you will see how finished it makes the bike look . Remember the DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS !
