T500R wire covers colour

Post by GT500Andy »

I'm doing a restoration on a T500R 1971 candy lavender and know that the cables were gray and the wiring harness is black but the light switch wire cover is gray. What about the wire cover from the engine generator black or gray?

The stator sheathing was black, well at least for the 69 and later Titans. It seems like a mismatch of colours as the rear brake cable was never in grey on the bikes with grey cables.
Two strokes, its just that simple.

Thanks for the important information hadn’t thought about the rear brake cable!
