I had a similar problem last year. Would show up intermittently after riding for a bit. After multiple trips to the dealer they were able to trace it to a defective ignition coil. When you are able to get the bike going only after giving it some throttle, could you check to see if both...

Yeah 700 pounds plus shipping is not worth it.

Well I gave up and sawed the sucker off. Even after taking off the OEM tailight connector and looking at it I don't know how else I would've done it. Anyway, the bobber project is done. Everything seems to be working. Attached pics. Thank you @e66 and @MilwDave for your tips with the lighting...

Kinda hard to see in there even with a flashlight. Can't believe this is so hard. Clearly I'm missing something obvious. When done I think I will be crying and laughing at the same time 😂

Thanks man! Will keep at it. Trying to do this without breaking any plastic 😊

Thanks MilwDave! Still can't figure it out! Here is another pic from the front. It's the rear light harness connector. Is there a clip somewhere I am missing? Driving me nuts! I think I lost 6 hours today because of this!

Finally getting around to doing this! Stuck on disconnecting the OEM tailight harness from the housing. See attached pic. Anyone know how to remove it? Thanks much!

Hi Jim, did you ever figure this out? I'm in the same boat right now!

That's awesome! I might look into it.

Hey e66. I had a follow up question. Did you get the harness from Wunderlich America in NC? If so, is it different from the one shown in the wiring diagram which I believe is for the European market or the same ? Hard to get a clear answer directly from Wunderlich on this.

Your adapter most likely has a resistor. I am trying not to cut the oem wires hence looking at the Wunderlich harness.

If this was for me, thank you! My lights from FCR Original (France) seem a lot simpler. Only 3 wires for each light with a resistor provided separately. See pics.

Thank you! I’ll keep this in mind.

Thank you for this! I'm expecting to run into some issues as well. I've purchased a bobber conversion kit from FCR Original (France) for the R18 (US). The new rear lights are mini bates lights and are designed to work with from what I can tell, a 10 ohm resistor. I've attached a pic and wiring...

Thanks Adrian! Will keep that in mind. I was wondering if I should invest in a quality wheel chock so the bike can be held level and have more room under to work.
