    Any place to buy black wire with white stripe

    I have posted much under electrical problems with my bike, but most people are tired of my posting problems.I need to know if there is a place to find copy of black wire with white stripe to replace all the burned ground wire on my bike. I have looked online,no luck.I dont want to use solid black because many parts of the bike uses solid black on different components. I am going to have another bike to ride, but i still want to over the next several months try to rebuild this mess I have.

    There is a company I recall seeing a year or so ago...maybe try Vintage Connections?

      This is probably 18 AWG based on the 15 amp rating but you should contact the seller to be sure. I did a search recently looking for stripped wires to match OEM GS but the selections are limited. Some color combinations do exist and can be had without buying 1000 ft roles.

              Colour coded wiring

              I just posted this a few weeks ago on another thread.

              Go to Supplies, last icon on the left side panel, then on the main page select the bottom link to "wires and wire by the foot"

              You will find all you need there.

                  If it is just for you, consider marking it with Phase tape. That is what it is for. A ring around each end maybe.

                  Shop our high-quality electrical tape in assorted colors, ideal for general-purpose electrical applications. Made from low-lead PVC, these tapes effectively seal and insulate wire splices and terminals in connections up to 600 volts. Perfect for organized projects, each pack includes five vibrant colors like green, blue, and yellow.
