R1 Wiring
Is it possible to wire the sierra column switches into the R1 harness, the switches are the ones with the horn on the stalk 83G if memory serves me
right.
as ussual mr haynes appears to be way out on his wiring, should be a pink wire in rear cluster 88/89 but its brown. Any info for converting harness to
suit the car appreciated

I think you have two approaches with a bike engine install
1) Use all the bike loom + either use the bike switches or make your own switching arrangment compatible with the loom
2) Just use the bike loom for the engine/cdi/regulator etc and have a separate loom for lights indicators etc. This can be a bought loom (with
connectors for sierra stalks or you can wire up to the switches yourself.
The later option is what you need to do if you want to keep standard Sierra switches as it would be very difficult to merge the sierra switchgear
directly onto the loom for any bike (including the R1) unless you were very technically competent with auto wiring.
My first build I did route 2) on my latest I made a custom loom for the lighting and grafted it to the bike loom.
Hope that helps

My sierra steering column came with 1/2 metre of loom attached. This had all the connectors for the column. some apropriate connectors should see the
two parts grafted together.
My R1 loom came with bullet connectors for all the lights. These are easy to extend to the extremities of the car with solder or crimp bullets.
I would try to use and extended bike loom if I were to build again but then I am an electronics engineer.
The only things missing from the bike loom are a hazzard warning circuit and a reverse.

if you still have the r1 switch gear and dont want stuff like savage switches why not make a nice bar that the switch gear clamps to
as opossed to having that horrible sierra column thing
