SF1 Loom on SF2

[ksoholm]

Lads,

I just bought one of Wolfgang's SF1 looms for my SF2 restoration; apart from the Lucas switches, are there any other differences between the two? My amateur review of the diagrams says not really. But I'm certainly no electrician.

Thanks -

Yes.
If I remember, on the SF1, the electrical junction box of tricks is near the steering stem, it's under the back of the tank on the SF2.

Wolfgang likes it by the steering head better, says having that bunch of junctions right above the carbs/fumes gives him the willies

I too prefer it the way my SF1 came - two rewires and it's still under the tank. And if you move the front coil or replace it with a smaller modern one, you get a stack more space. You can also simplify the wiring loom considerably with a little thought, although my SFQ has four relays so it went back the other way a little!
