WIRING HARNESS QUESTION ? Handmade or Mass Produced ?
I have a 1983 Suzuki GS450L. I was looking at the wiring harness and it has a few places in it that are questionable.
Where the coils come off of the harness there is a square piece of metal that has wires soldiered and blue electrical tape over them and then black wrapping over the the blue tape.
questions is ... is this normal procedure for the factory harnesses back in the 80'S ? Were all the harnesses hand made ?
I would expect this if they were hand made and not mass produced at a factory.
Basically what I am trying to do is narrow things down to make sure the harness hasn't been hacked on.
This was a one owner bike bought new in 1983 and he rode the bike till 1989 when he got married he parked the bike and it sat till I bought it a month ago. He said he had never even replaced the tires on the bike it has 5,819 miles on it. Just hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew ?!
