What gauge primary wire?

Post by dorT500 »

Going to change all wiring and connectors on a spare '75 T500 stator. Has damaged wiring and insulation. I'll do that first and then go over the some of the other wiring throughout the bike, installing the proper connections here and there, i.e....from Vintage Connections.

Is that 18 gauge primary wire or 16 gauge for the stator harness? Kind of hard for me to tell with the condition it is in.

Here are some companies I have been looking at for solid and striped wiring. I pretty sure I am going to use tinned copper stranded wire. It should cope better with the bad humidity we have around here sometimes.
