Battery Cables??

[lonestarmedic]

Ok- sniffing solder fumes and heat shrink tubing today. I think I will have about 10-12 sets. I am making them with an extra 14 gauge lead on the positive and negative. I have found a way to attach to the + side. When you open the main fuse holder, the bike side has a ring terminal and screw. The battery side has a blade for the quick detach. However, the blade is held on with the same screw system. So, remove the blade and put the new lead on like the other side. Problem solved. Better connection and less parts used. I will make the lead long enough to accomodate the length and put a ring terminal on. The (-) will still need solder or the Posi-Lock connector unless I can strip the harness on the 1986 parts bike and see where the ground ends up. Might be able to eliminate the quick-connect on that side also. I will have them finished and ready by mid-week. House-hunting keeps getting in the way. I think I can keep the price down to $40.00 shipped in the U.S. Gotta figure the snowback surcharge. Thanks for being patient on this folks.

Glad to hear you're just about there JB. I'm looking forward to getting a set when you get a price nailed down for Canada. First ride of the season on Saturday past... a balmy 18C with the sun shining... of course I woke up to -3C and frost this morning, but we're getting there!

 

Thanks for all the effort!

I installed a new high output battery and have no more problems starting my 86 VR. I won't bother changing the cables.

What exactly was the battery that you use?
