Tomchri 1,707 Posted March 31, 2023 Just a comment, is the grounding to the ECU coming out of the original harness, if so, away it goes, and a new separate ground. Wiring coming out of the ignition lock, 50 60mm half loop easyli strapped to the lock. Getting to know your bike is rewarding in more than 1 way. Don’t they look good Cheers Tom.

I have to have a closer look at what is going on on the minus side of the battery. Have a look at the photos "16-NewWiring02" and "17-NewWiring03". There is a wire that looks a bit like that clear insulation stuff that hi-fi shops sells as "magic loudspeaker cable" going off the battery minus and across the back of the battery. On the other side a "common ground" has been created by screwing that wire on to the earth from the accessory socket and one (or two...) cables out of the original harness. It might be a connector(s) that used to be connected directly to the battery. It works ok, but needs looking at definitely.
Tomchri 1,707 Posted March 31, 2023 Is it a sort of monster cable, their good, but may be not on a V11. Better between Mark Levinson 23.5 and old Altec Lansing mod 19. Preamp ML 326S. First thing I look for opening the seat for the first time, is looking at the 30amp fuse. Seeing your cover ain’t brown from heat, good. Hopefully plenty of km before a Luigi mishap. Cheers Tom. 1

All I'll say to that is that I've been a professional sound engineer for nearly 40 years, and I've never seen that stuff in a professional system. There's enough copper in there to do the job on the V11 for sure, but I'm a bit sceptical about how the insulation would bear up over time on a motorcycle.
Tomchri 1,707 Posted March 31, 2023 Monster doesn’t look right. Looking inside my IRS Infinity Epsilon, seeing what cable being used, coloring the sound on the outside with all kinds of cables , been there, done that. Supra was a good cable. Cheers Tom.
