Hi all
On my Thunderace, all of the front end wiring goes underneath the front of the frame through the plastic tray that supports the coils. This is a bit of a pain as there are a lot of wires to get through a very small gap.
I am thinking can I get two holes drilled in my frame close to the headstock as I have seen on some other Yamahas with similar looking frames. I could then use these holes to route wiring etc to the left and right of the headstock instead of going underneath. If I did this would I be affecting the strength of the frame. The holes won't need to be big so I am hoping I could get away with it!!!!
I hope I have explained myself properly!!!!!!
Drilling holes in frame?
headstock is a safety critical area, i wouldnt be drilling ANYTHING out of the frame.
plus im pretty sure that your insurance will be invalidated unless you have told them that you have modified the frame (remember its the frame, not the swingarm, that the V5 is attached to), and good luck getting them to insure you afterwards.
