Anyone suggest a wiring loom i can purchase that gives connectors for steering column switches and fireblade engine connectors? Martin at MKs loom is a wee bit pricey at £150 odd

I bought mine from premier wiring, it was £100 and thats for the sierra one. Not sure of their number, but if u give them a call, they may do one for a bike engine.

I think any of the looms can use the column switches, however, the problem is that the switches won't last. I had this discussion with the manufacturers of the MK loom.

With all the lights on (Main beam, headlamp and side / tail lights) the headlamp switch is carrying about 30 Amps.

Ideally you need to fit additional relays. I've posted drawings about how to do this.

As an aside, untli MES re-design the MK loom with adequate input from MK, I wouldn't buy one.

The premier wiring loom already has the relay sockets wired up for dip and main plus indicators and wipers if needed,its just a matter of fitting a few wires to determine wether your switches are 83BG or 87BG wiring.
All the info supplied with the wiring kit was very easy to follow and the fuse box is already wired too which was a great help,even some convoluted tube and a load of tie wraps and a crimping tool are included among other bits.

i'll give premier a call, and i'll check there are the appropriate bits for relay control. thanks again guys
