    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I've been rebuilding my gs450 in a cafesque style. Since im ditching the side panels I was wondering what people have done to hide the wiring. What can be done with a stock wiring harness and as little soldering as possible. I can solder, I'm just not good at it and therefore I'm lazy about doing it. Is there any good way to cut down the harness to get rid of things I don't need?
 
If you're going to go to the trouble of removing unnecessary bits from the stock harness, you will actually be better off making a new simplified one instead. I think that would yield a better result for what you're looking for.

As for me, I've just cable tied as much as I can in behind frame rails and up under the tank between the frame rails as I can.

It's not spectacular especially seeing as I lose some space due to the larger Dynatek coils, but it's neat enough for me.

Sitting in the back of my mind is still the thought of a custom harness, but if I ever do do that then it can wait until I have my Katana so I can still have a bike on the road while I fiddle.

I have the factory manual here too which has diagrams of all the cable and wiring routing too, just let me know and I can get some photos of the relevant pages for you.
 
Same here. When working on mine yesterday I began using black "wrap and zip tie" conduit in combination with hiding behind the rails.
