I reckon it is far easier to use the bike loom and add the bits you need and extend the wires where required.

Rich.

Its a close one and has been discussed many times. I'm 3/4 way through option 1, in theory it sounds great, in practice the shape of a bike and the shape of a car are very different, if you`ve got the bike loom and clocks etc i'd give it a go -shit or bust, as the diagrams for bikes are easy enough but would'nt buy one especially as you'll end up chopping it about a lot. If you want to add posh switches and dials hazards and wipers and a nicey stereo even more so! in which case maybe a car loom would be better or build one from scratch.
theres plenty of info on this forum and the build diarys including a complete zx9 wiring for the finding.

I've used the bike loom on our ZX12R powered MK Indy. There is a lot of cutting and splicing as most of the wires are too long or not long enough The wires that rest within the engine underneath the throttle bodies is unsightly and uneccessary so I've chopped most of this out and re-routed where I can.

I have lots of pictures to upload to our website, but as I'm changing ISP it's going to be a few days or maybe a week before I get a chance to. It's all there - I'm just waiting for a personal connection not this business one I'm on at the moment!

If you need any help regarding the wiring just give me a shout I'll try my best to answer any queries or questions you may have... HTH
