What do I do for a wiring harness?

[Amanaland]

Recently at a swap meet I purchased a Windjammer 4 fairing because it had a cycle sound. It was hard to pass up for $15. My plan was to transplant the cycle sound to my "Luftmeister" fairing that came on my 1975 BMW R60/6. As I surveyed the project it looked like it might make more sense to just mount the whole Windjammer on my bike and pull off the German fairing. I think that I can drill two new holes and it's mounted. The question remains though, what do I do for the 9-pin plug and harness that integrates with my motorcycle?

I'm new to your forum, so please forgive me if you have already answered this question 12 times in the past 10 days. Is my best bet to find a yard that is salvaging bikes? Can someone share the wiring diagram so that I don't have to spend an afternoon doing trial and error wiring?

Thanks in advance for your thought/advice.

You might want to check Craig Vetter's site first. I know he has found many other sources for replacement parts. Might have one for the wiring also. First place I would look if I needed one now.

First, Welcome to the forum!

One option is to buy the connectors directly from Craig (about 1/2 way down the page): http://www.craigvetter.com/pages/Online_Store/Replacement_Parts/Details.html#anchor

Then make your own harness to connect the bike to the fairing. Another option is to buy one on ebay.

What is the condition of the harness inside the fairing?

Here's a link to the wiring diagram:http://www.craigvetter.com/images/V...uctions/1979 Windjammer IV Owner's Manual.pdf

Probably not much help to op 6 years later, but its called a 9 pin molex connector. They are readily available online

In a pinch, you could use a couple of trailer-light connectors, like a 4-wire and a 5-wire.
