1973 Honda CB750 Custom Build Part 32 - Final wiring

[@johnnyturbo8460]

This made the head light wiring NEST make A LOT more sense! Thanks.

[@marcelo67]

Dear friend, first of all, I want to tell you that your work on these videos are very helpfull for people like me who are entusiastic of repairing all kind of things but now I have recovered a Honda CB750 F model 1982 lost for 15 years in my father`s in law backyard. So as you can imagine, "she" will need a lot of attention!!! I beg you to help me with all the reading information you have, like the wiring diagram you have on this video and manuals or ebooks or whatever you think it could be of help and you can share to make my coming work more easy. I really preciate and envy (in the right way) your way of explaining on the videos, because you are very clear and understanding. Sincerely, Marcelo from San Antonio de Padua in Buenos Aires, Argentina

[@Spoons7414]

Absolute most helpful video on the entire internet! Thank you so much! You just solved every single issue I'm having! Thanks to you I might finally be able to ride with my old man!

[@waynec1968]

Thank you brother, you truly helped me out, just bought a 73 myself and someone played with my wiring. All good now!

[@HackaweekTV]

Rock on!

[@jamiestanley8774]

Youve given me the confidence to have a crack at a new wiring loom . I hope it goes as easy as yours had . Thanks .i never would have gone near it . 🤞

[@anthonycleary11]

Iv'e been watching this bike rebuild since you opened the first box and started sort out the parts. Now It's almost there it's kind of exciting and kinda sad that it's nearly done. Big thumbs up Dino.

[@MrG00ny65]

+Anthony Cleary Me too. Loved the engine resto and seeing what the insides look like. In a way it was sad to see it finally in the frame. But great work and a fascinating series of videos. I`ve watched them all twice now just in case I missed something the first time.

[@ronicard]

If your front turn signals are single filament, they were probably rear turn signals originally. On these bikes, the fronts have dual filament so that you have running lights on the front but only turn signals on the rear. Those dual filament turn signals have 3 wires...obviously. Nice video though, Dean. Always happy when a new video of yours comes out.

[@DeanSegovis]

+Ron Icard Yep, my thought as well, former rear light on the front. Thanks!

[@keepitrunning]

+Dean Segovis You can tell by the lenses, the rears had a slightly frosted centre, the fronts clearer. Not all years had day running lights for the US, I believe, and not at all for other markets like the UK. My VT500 Ascot was Canadian market originally, and yes had three wires for the front indicators but a previous owner wisely did away with those. Which was handy as the only replacement I could find as genuine when I needed a new left hand one thanks to an old lady in a car park were from a CD250 which had no day running lamps.,

[@thomaslazore5882]

Hey dude I totally dig your hack a week episodes I have been doing my own custom rebuild of a 1972 cb750 and have found your shows extremely valuable and have learned a lot still even with manuals and diagrams, KZbin as well as an endless surplus of forums I have managed to muck it all up beyond belief. It may surprise you to know that I have been at this for over a year now. I bought the bike running with an oil leak and some electrical issues after a year all I have is a dropped motor with a torn down top end frame laying on its side since it was the only way I was able to pull the motor solo. I have spent nearly every spare cent made in the past year on parts tools manuals fluids and lubes also electrical testers connectors wire spools. I followed all instructions still I find my electrical is a rats nest bolts stripped. Had to buy bolt kits old bolts seized, went through three cylinder heads one cam shaft., cam chain, rear chain and tension adjusters w/ bolts. New lighting. New mirrors new Rachel and speedometers. Every cable I have ordered as been to short figure it to be the tach cable miss labled as speedometers cable an error that would seem to be extremely.common since 5 maybe 6 shops have all done the same error and leaving me still with out a speedometers cable after a year bright side is I have plenty of back up cables for the tachometer haha but man this all brings me to a huge question one you have probably gotten hundreds of times but I am literally at breaking point haha do you ever make it to cali or anywhere around so Cal or possibly be persuaded to come out this way for a weekend or holiday haha cause I seriously need rescuing I can't afford a mech shop. My friends and family look at me like I am totally bonkers when I simply try to talk a bit of shop l. All they get is key goes in hole , key turns. Cross fingers and hope engine starts haha anything beyond that you just get glazed blank stare sometimes a blink or two so I get no help from any of them haha I really need to finish this project and the only way I see that happening is to import a genious to save my but haha I put the haha there but I am totally serious no joke j need some extreme help if you at least a little curious/intrigued email me back so I can explain why this is is so important to me and why the need and the rush. Maybe that.explanation may get you to at least consider helping well I'm hoping but anyways email is ( [e-mail]) hope to hear back soon thank you for your time and the videos take care :)

[@shaneglading405]

Dean this is my second viewing, first for general interest (and watching the whole build start to finish) and now when diagnosing my left side switch issues. Thanks man this series has been invaluable!

[@flint13]

Your videos have helped to bring my bike to life. I can't thank you enough for that. I am at a crossroads with my wiring harness in the bucket. All clues point to a bad ground. Been poking around with a continuity meter for some time now, just can't seem to find the issue. With this video I've got the confidence to completely redo the connections in my bucket. Any additional tips you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for everything!

[@bobbyc.2873]

I'm not a computer guy, but I absolutely love your motorcycle videos. It's weird though, apparently, every time I watch one of these my clocks run faster! The videos reach the end far too quickly! And now that I finished binge watching all the older ones I gotta do the long wait for the new ones. Ugh!

[@ralphfoy8778]

I'm working on an 81 cb750. Wring is pretty much the same. Thanks for making great content!

[@marlonterbio]

hi dino, i'm from the philippines. im going to start a project next week. a cb650. ive been watching alot of your videos. thanks a lot for this. this is going to be my "manual". eventhough im only at episode 6, im pretty much excited to see you test ride this beauty =)

[@LionNerd]

Congrats on 10 million views Deno! Still following along every week. - Leon from Maker's Fair and Bull City Rumble

[@DeanSegovis]

+LionNerd Thanks Leon!

[@Arabak58]

Very helpfull and well done video,helped a lot of us understand these bikes more than ever.easy to understnd and clearly explained with details.Thank you for the info and will keep following…

[@HackaweekTV]

Glad it helped

[@hogg8888]

i swear down i get so excited when a new video get uploaded

[@caryd67]

Hey Dino! Thanks for the newest upload! I don't know where you get all your energy, but keep up the great work!!

[@sammyabramyan2401]

Congrats on all the views! You should do more bike builds after this one!

[@wbesosa]

thank you for the encouraging word my friend. you are a true kick starter on my campaign.

[@StanleyKubick1]

Love this bike like it was my own. Such a great and educational series =)

[@Garageratto]

Niceeeee, always makes my day better when i see your videos :) I really like your CB project and how you make your videos..... im sure your videos will help MANY other CB builders or just not so experienced builders like me.

[@alanstrathern9317]

Haha. That horn! Keep up the great work. As always, looking forward to the next instalment.

[@gorillaau]

Alan Strathern The horn made me laugh, I felt as though a bunch of clowns was going to pull up in a funny car.

[@MidwestMotoRider]

Nice its great when it all comes together like that! My 72' 750K had both turn signals and parking lights so it had the dual filament bulbs no doubt your 73 did also.

[@ramivuorinen]

What a great video again! I'm also just currently working on my Honda CX500's electrics and this was very useful.

[@Mekhanic1]

7:30 Jay Leno in the reflection ;)

[@DeanSegovis]

+Mekhanic1 LMAO!

[@TRX450RVlogger]

+Dean Segovis HAHAHAHA!!!!

[@bonaita7690]

I'm glad you're back working on the bike again! Missed it! When this one is finished... will you do another one? :-D You did a Café Racer, a restauration... so now a Bobber maybe?! Would be amazing to watch! Greetings from Holland!

[@MotoMirius]

Really good progress there and a nice logical talk through.

[@toby7504]

relaxing to watch you motorcycle videos.

[@UCanDoIt2Mike]

Great Progress! Great job on sharing these details.

[@keepitrunning]

Good advice about taking your time, or anything, remember generally in the factory these were built by mostly unskilled or low skilled labour so if they could do it so could we.

[@mariobishay4803]

Thanks for the video was frustrating almost got a fight with the Mrs but your video was clear

[@frankkelly2245]

Looking forward to the rest Dino.

[@admincakndut]

you might want to try to change your switch handle bar holder to Bajaj Pulsar 135cc's switch holder, it is illuminated with LED light from inside, making your bike as cool as you :D or you can also use Kawasaki Bajaj 200NS's switch holder. the only difference is the Pulsar 135 LED is white, and the 200NS is blue. although you must modify the connector to match your bike's wiring, it's interesting to have your handle bar glowing :D

[@MrYoutub59]

love your channel I just got a 74 cb750 and putting it back together so this will ba helpful

[@lsforce]

Another great video, keep the good work - you are a real inspiration!

[@Bird76Mojo76]

I love watching these CB750 resto videos but I about died laughing on this one. When you see his face in the chrome clutch cover. lol

[@gorillaau]

As another comment suggested, Jay Leno dropped in. :-)

[@TheJudge64]

Can you do a video on how you painted the controls with the red lettering, looks amazing as always man. Keep up the awesome videos!

[@DeanSegovis]

+DropClutch64 I just used some Testors model paint from the hobby store and a very thing paint brush.

[@RobB-ch2mr]

Pretty sure some new harnesses have extra wires due to being used for multiple years? Did you encounter that at all? You mention this, I think, around 29:30.

[@HackaweekTV]

Yes that's possible.

[@Mekhanic1]

great vid! I hope you get 1,00000000000000 more subscribers

[@tannernewton8543]

You have to finish this on the 26th of March, It will be exactly 2 years from the teaser video!!!

[@DeanSegovis]

+Tanner Newton Holy crap!

[@tannernewton8543]

+Dean Segovis Right!? it always takes longer then you think, I have been working on my '81 cb650c for almost 2 years now too

[@nonnon0505]

Thankyou for your help!

[@HackyGilmore]

Great content! Wondering where you found your winker controls? I'm having a hard time with my CB350F

[@jamiestanley8774]

I wish the wiring was that easy . Ive been close to 6months trying diffrent diagrams .1975 k5. Usa import . Im in Newzealand. Im close to being fin . Im at my guages . 1green and brwn/white per guage . I have b/w in a b/w multiple connector , Same with green . But no go. No headlites ,running lights , hi/ low beam. ,and off on off switch. If you can remember if im missing something . Bike is running. Maby 2 idiot lights . Im going to keep watching your vid incase something clicks . Have a good xmass .

[@HackaweekTV]

Trace voltage from the fuse box to the headlight.

[@xrayromeopapa2070]

did you show how you wired the dynatek coils to the oem harness? not sure witch episode you may have recorded it on.

[@xrayromeopapa2070]

can you just tell me if you connected the black and white wires from the harness to the coils, or the solid black wires? Also what did you do with the ones you didnt use? I cant seem to get any spark and Im guessing its a wiring issues. no one else shows anything for this issue, and its the one thing you skipped over.

[@davec5223]

What kind of handlebars did you use for that bike? I'm thinking about swapping mine out and I really like those. I can't believe all those wires are hanging out behind the headlight on my CB750. I guess I'll find out when I switch the handlebars. I'm assuming I'll have to disconnect a bunch of them to pull the wires out of the old bars and into the new ones.

[@wildnomadoverlander]

I would like to see how everything goes inside the control guts. I just got a cb550 and the guy pulled the controls off and cut the wires, I have no idea how it all goes back together. Could you post a video of how it all goes together please?

[@7caesar7]

Great job you are a Master. I am looking how to put the flasher to CB 750 1993 I am very confused cuz i only have 3 wire in the back any help will be very welcome thank you for share it!!

[@twowheelrodeo]

good discussion. nice bike!

[@pdr1787]

What ever happened to the two long wires off the harness you kept skipping over. Near the ignition switch plug

[@exuno1107]

Hi Dino, great, really well-made video. If someone has asked you this before I apologize, but what camera do you use to record your videos?

[@DeanSegovis]

+Ex Uno Canon VIXIA HF R300

[@Pianissimo1970]

19:38 The hwite wire...

[@HackaweekTV]

I tell you hhhhhhhhhhwut!

[@arthurblackburn921]

What color are the coil wires & what wire goes where?!

[@grahamtownsend9965]

Could you tell me where you got your wiring diagram from for your CB 750 I have a manual book but it is black and white and you cannot make out the writing thank you

[@HackaweekTV]

Try the SOHC 4 Forum

[@kilejungst]

could you please post a link to where you purchased those coils? I have been really fighting used ones that I have to order untested and have been having some bad luck.

[@thomaslazore5882]

Hey I've been dealing with that same problem . Did you ever find a site or reasonably priced local for your coils ? If so can you shoot me that info thanks

[@GeertPolo]

Great video again. Just wanted to ask : did you really sold the 750VF?

[@DeanSegovis]

+G33 RT No, but it's getting a new paint job in the spring and it'll be for sale then.

[@BAlLZORZ230]

[@DeanSegovis]

+Sajin Shakya Well I tell you what. You hold down a 40 hour a week job and find time to come up with an idea, produce a video, edit it, render it then upload it and do it every week for 4 and a half years without missing a single week and we'll have a discussion about why I skip a week now and then. :)

[@sajinshakya5735]

+Dean Segovis well i love to watch your videos and its so hard to wait for another episode

[@sajinshakya5735]

:)

[@DeanSegovis]

+Sajin Shakya Thanks for watching! :) I do enjoy making these videos and I'm glad you enjoy and appreciate them.

[@sajinshakya5735]

+Dean Segovis you're welcome. its the best detailed video about motorcycle restoration I've ever watched, so satisfying. please continue to make more videos like this :) you said this bike was going to be a scrambler or will you restore it to its original state?

[@RyanSelby-y8y]
