Motorcycle Electrical System


Key characteristics of a good motorcycle wiring harness are simplicity, cleanliness and high quality components. Some portions of a stock Norton Commando motorcycle wiring harness are never used in US models because of various country lighting codes. The same goes for Police models. CNW builds a custom motorcycle wiring harness that eliminates unnecessary portions and is made from top quality marine grade components. We also use solid state components and a new, high quality ignition/lighting switch. The switch, along with a marine quality volt gauge from Stewart Warner, is mounted in a CNW developed mounting plate that resides in between the two gauges. Here are the details in this area included in a Colorado Norton Works Commando motorcycle electrical system rebuild:
