Street Fighter your Daytona...and STOP cutting your harness

[ascribner]

I was bitten by the Street Fighter Bug and decided to take the leap to convert my like new 2011 Daytona 675 to a street fighter. After reading some of the conversion threads on this forum and others, I noticed that the majority, if not all conversions, had the completely unacceptable "feature" of willingly cutting the wiring harness.

My two requirements for a street fighter conversion

1. Completely reversible
2. Keep all OEM parts in tact in original form

This means that I will not be making any modifications to the parts that originally came with the bike.

After about 30 minutes of online chat with TE, I acquired the AMP connector that is the connector for the dash. This allowed me to build an extension for the wiring harness so I do not have to cut it. This is the primary extension to me. Now that I have completed this, I will neatly tuck away all the wires and figure out the other harness plugs that also need extensions.

I will update this post once this is complete.

In the interim, here is a picture of the harness I just very casually spent less than two hours (while watching Breaking Bad) to complete.

Very nice! Will definitely be keeping an eye on this one...

Who would have thought Twizzlers could solve this?! Oh wait those are wires...

Good work nonetheless.

Ascribner, I wanna be like you when I grow up. And I mean that in all sincerity. I wish I had those kind of mad wiring skills.

I've been think of doing the same to my 09 but I'm still unsure of what's involved and how much it'll cost. Anybody got some good conversion pics?

There are plenty of very informative posts on both this forum and if you ask really nicely, your friend Google will also show you some action.

I will be following this thread very closely. I love these kinds of projects.

Thanks

I never cut the wiring to the cluster. See the wires running forward, they are plenty long enough.
Only had to lengthen several wires to the handlebar switches. Conversely, A shitload of wire was removed when the electronicals were moved under the tank and attached to the Street Triple fuse/relay bracket.
you definitely need this bracket, if nothing else but to hold the bike's Tip-over sensor(housed in the Daytona's front cowl.)





Not sure what your level of OCD is, but this is mine

That is clean, but I am not going to modifying the stock harness. I want this to be 100% reversible.

Happen to have that relay bracket part number? I do need that.
