Am building a modern cafe racer based on a Gsxr 750 m, well thats not strictly true, the only M part is the frame so I'll call that my base of the build.
The bike's going to have no lights MOT so no indicators, head lamp etc, just need a horn to make it road legal. Not very practical, but I've always wanted a bare bones bike, just two wheels and an engine, a race bike on the road....well sort of.
Right this is where I hope you can help.
I have just had an offer on a 05 Gsx750f engine accepted, low mileage and looks pretty clean, £300 delivered, not sure if thats good or not but there are plenty of much older engines for not much less so that will do for me.
So engine sorted, but what electrics.
I want to use the electric speedo pickup to run Gsxr k series clocks. As long as I have oil, neutral, rev and speedo I'll be happy, anybody fitted these or similar, anything to look out for or any particular years more difficult than others?
Wiring loom..Now i really don't need much of this but the ignition, charge (may even go total loss once up and running) and speed sensor circuit have to work.
05 loom and cdi has tps, can I just disconnect the wires feeding into the cdi from the sensor or will this cause running issues. If a different cdi is required which year or years would suit the motor <97? Would it just plug in and play? If I also need to run an earlier wiring loom will it have wiring for electronic speedo pick-up or is this a separate loom fitted to later bikes.
I dont expect anyone to post a how to on my next question but has anyone hard wired the ignition (ignition switch not required as I've a home made remote, of sorts) the clutch and sidestand switches wont be used, which wires need to be soldiered together to fool the cdi into thinking everythings ok
Can I make a sub loom for the ignition (cdi, pic-ups and coils) to run with just a live from the battery and take a signal for the rev counter directly from the cdi/coil?
Any help or advice muchly appreciated
