Mk1 B12... B6 wiring loom?

[B12Hoon]

Hi,

In the process of fixing up my mk1 Bandit 1200 . Some absolute weapon who had the bike before me has butchered the wiring harness, even the fuse box has been twist and taped.

 

I'm trying to source an entire new harness but can't seem to find one, however I can find mk1 600 bandit harnesses.

 

Will this work? Anyone done jt? I'm utterly useless with electrics so laugh but advice would be helpful

@fatblokeonbandit will probably know more than most. 

I think the CDI plugs are different but can't remember off the top of my head.

You can use a B600 loom and cdi, it all plugs together, the only difference is the red line, it’s higher on the 600….

Top man! I have the cdi from my B12, can I not use that? 

Honestly useless with electrics, confuses me! Possibly just an idiot but I'm happy to accept that

Its ages since i did a B6/12 conversion, and cant remember if i used the B6 CDI as it came with the loom or the 1200 didn't physically fit, I just fitted the lot and it all plugged together.. Best buy a 600 loom with CDI attached, or just get the 600 loom and try the 1200 cdi, if the plugs fit it will work

the plugs are different from 600 to 1200 so i don't think they will fit, but you can swap the plugs over.

600 doesn’t have a fuel gauge too
