1141 viewsThe starter relay is back in place and the Motolectric cables attached. Notice that the relay output cable that goes to the starter is routed in the opposite direction. It now goes across the top of the horizontal cylinder to the left.

After...1136 viewsNow the gauge faces upward a little bit more thus allowing the rider (me) to view them better. A more direct, heads-on view.

1122 viewsRemove the OEM cables. This is the cable from the starter relay to the starter. Mine was in really good condition for having over 16,000 miles on it. Even the starter post under the cable boot was clean!

1116 viewsNow, the regular install guide for the SC has you "cap off" the OEM cable. I decided to get rid of the OEM cable so I removed it from the harness. Here is the insulation removed from the OEM battery mount. I cut the big, black starter cable about 1/2" from the crimp and then re-wrapped the whole thing with the supplied heat shrink. This gave me a completely separate starter cable from the other electrical wiring.

1112 viewsI put a yard stick inbetween the gaps to show the distance of the tank to the ground. Just under 5" (five inches). That's pretty good space and if you get a leg stuck it could save that as well.
