handle bar switch electrics

radiofun · May 20, 2011

Hi all,

Can anyone point me to a simple diagram or explanation of wire colors for the handle bar switches for a 74 850 Commando? A list of wire colors and their function would be great. Thanks.

I don't know about simple, but the standard wiring diagram is available from british Only.

Colours are listed on the far righthand side.
As with anything Brit, you have to work at it.

Ye are doing a Commando without a manual ?
Folly, sheer folly....

P.S. Click on it for a bigger view.

Cheers.

I have an original manual, but like you said, you really have to work at it. And I admit, I am somewhat electrically challenged. So looking at several diagrams will help me "get it". thanks.

Hi Radiofun,
Drop me an email, I have exactly what you want. When I rewired a number of years ago I drew a simple diagram for each switch neatly labeled (well, I think so). :mrgreen:
