Has anyone drawn up a wiring diagram (with wire colors) for the early 750SF? I'm doing some troubleshooting on my '71 (#6349, Bosch 155 headlamp, Smith's instruments), and naturally there are a few anomalies after 40+ years. I was surprised to note that the headlamp itself is a Lucas 700 unit, not Bosch. Is that correct?

Hi e-man I did this diagram many years ago for an early SFc750- using 7 core trailer wire - it might assist you - regards - Phil

Makes you wonder why we just don't rewire the Head Lite and use a Bakelite Electrical Transfer Bar.
Like this and FUCK the Head Light Pod:

Thanks Phil. I'm not sure how much this will help in understanding the existing wiring but it will come in useful when I rewire my SF1 sometime soon. After posting I realized I made a mistake in think the headlight shell was the Bosch 155mm one that is supposed to have been used. It is actually a 7 inch (180 mm) unit, as required by the Lucas lamp, but it is not the 180 mm Bosch unit used on SF2s and such. It certainly looks like a Bosch unit, though. The sliding switch cover is blanked off, and the ignition/headlight switch is mounted behind that, and just ahead of three warning lights. The switch is a Bosch unit (0 342 201 009) that is claimed to be used on a M-B Unimog also. All the wiring in the headlight looks quite tidy and can easily be taken as stock. That's one of the things I like about Laverdas, they never quite conform to expectations.
Paul, this is the bike I bought from Fred Arger in Albi back in 2000. The Carte Grise says it was first registered in October 1971. Is that the date it was first registered in France, implying it was a French market bike?

OK! Original but you still have to contend with that LUCAS Price of Darkness Ignition SX in a Foot Ball Head Lite Pod.
I can route any circuit with the use of Green Philips Screw Driver.
If you want my wiring Diagran for a SF, you got it, but I don't want Shit.
WHY Questions - YES.

Eric,
Although it seems to be a Bosch unit, it is the wrong one. 160mm (lens diameter) BTW.
The ignition switch is under the sliding black plastic cover, there should be a kidney-shaped bezel housing charge and neutral warning lights to the rear of the shell. Hi-beam warning should be a seperate light about where your 2nd. ignition switch is fitted.

Just use Toggle SX's
Ignition, Lights and Flood Lights.
But keep a Hidden Toggle SX for the Ignition.
Don't need a Key and if you feel you require a Proximity Alarm, by all means, if it makes you feel secure.

I believe I have a great wiring system with better Rear-Sets and fairing compared to the 750 SFC for an 8000rpm SF.
I would not want a SFC Cam for a Daily Rider.
Really just how far are you willing to drag your feet.
