Oil Cooled to Aircooled electrics

[Swiss Toni]

Has anyone who's fitted an oil boiler to Aircooled frame ( in my case, Teapot1100 to 1100ET/EX frame), also used the Oilcooled harness, and  fitted the std. ET/EX clocks? If so, did you get everything working as it should?

I have a Powerscreen engine in the EFE, with Slingy 750 loom, and EFE clocks. I got the tacho, fuel level, gear position, and the idiot lights (Neutral, Left turn, Right turn, Oil P, High beam) working. I could also get the sidestand light working but there's no sidestand switch on my bike.

ET/EX has a mechanical tacho so you will not get that working with an oilcooled lump. ED (1983) and newer has an electronic tacho IIRC.

I had an Oil boiler in a Kwak Z1000 frame with GSXR wiring and Kwak switchgear - everything worked and nothing melted - anything is possible!

I have done efe clocks on a oil boiler loom before ..got it all to work just a matter of having both wiring diagrams to hand and some patience ......"TBH" I would not do it again as all the joints with wire colour changes where a pain

hence on me turbo I used the entire oil boiler set up loom clocks switch's etc....much easier "when" if u have a fault..............

Thanks for that, lads! I thought it wouldn't be easy. I forgot about the tach being gear driven! But...it's not an ET without the tail, headlamp...and clocks! What would 'Fattie' be without that huge headlight???
