Thanks for the tutorial it was helpful. I have a 1985 Shadow VT700C that I'm trying to connect the start switch to a push button switch that has 2 pigtails. I connected the yellow/red wire to one wire and the black/red to the other wire on the new switch but it's not working. Those seem to be the 2 opposing wires on the original start switch. I tried the black on one side also, but it's not working. Any help would be appreciated it. I must have it wired wrong.
Very easy to do and I hate dealing with electrical. Only thing I did differently was I opened the wiring harness just above the heads and pulled the wires back there that way I didn’t need any extensions or crimps
Tracing my wires back from the start and kill switch it runs to the red plug not the green. (02 600 vlx) The green plug ran to the left side... Probably best to look up the wiring diagram before doing something like this
When my keyed Ignition stopped working I looked up a new one and they wanted about a $100 or more. I went to home depot got a 5 Amp toggle switch ($5) wired it in the keys place with bullet connecters so i can by pass that switch in a pinch. I still put the key in for looks.
So with wiring it up this way do I have to do anything with the headlight wire. Where it comes on with the key since I’m taking the high beam switch out. I don’t need the high beams anyway. Just the headlight
@@ryanwilliams3369 Well shit... I didn't know that. And i just got my single cable throttle assembly... Was planning on cleaning up my handlebars a bit
So I have a 1977 gold wing an the starter button broke on me there’s three wires to that then 2 wires to the kill switch or the off run off switch how would it wire them up to a push button like that
I don't know about you but I have a 2001 shadow saber 1100 and I only have to pull the clutch in if it's in gear. If the bike is in neutral I can just start it with just the start button. Never had to touch my throttle to start it.
I got the single cable throttle assembly and an planning on doing this mod, but since the right side controls are now gone from the handlebars, how do you go about getting the brake light switch to work? Are you only using the rear brake to illuminate the brake light?
This is how i wire my headlights - d33v4339jhl8k0.cloudfront.net/docs/assets/5a6f7e612c7d3a1eaf1e12ff/images/5af357c22c7d3a3f981f6ca6/file-QtYvE1PNBg.jpg
I know this is an old video but I had a question. You didnt do anything with thw headlight shutoff wire. So how do you turn off the headlight when you try to start the bike? I am under the impression the headlight draws enough power that the bike may not start if its still on while starting???
Currently working on the wiring harness right now and all you need to do is take your black and red wire to one side of an on off switch and then connect your headlight wire to the other side so if your switch is in the off position when you go to crank your bike your light will not come on. you can Trace a green wire from the harness and put your negative from your headlight wire together with the green and that is ground. I highly suggest you upgrade your ground wire that is right above the front ignition coil though.
Heyy! I got the start button working! (Without kill switch) and i also rewired up the headlight. I an unsure how to connect the remaining wires in order to keep my licence plate light that operates off the bikes running power. I am ok with not having the front brake switch but id like to keep my licence light! Help plz :)
@@mariocevallos8134 any luck with that project? iv got that in mind for my vt750 clean up the handle bars. the wiring looks so simple but i know ill be in the shit if i make a mistake haha
I'm trying to do this but I can't figure out which wire goes from the kill switch (toggle) to the starter button (push button) does it matter? Or am I over thinking it?
What I did when watching this video was watch how he had the Killswitch positioned and when he said connect this wire to that and that wired to this, that’s what I did. Honestly, I don’t think it matters when it comes to the Killswitch. It’s an on off situation and if you have it flipped around then all you have to do is flip the little indicator plate around so that faces the right way for on/ off
Oo. That is a better option. Thank you🙏 your website is basically my go to for this build. So I’m thrilled you have a RUclips. First build I’m excited. Thanks for the help… I will probably be asking more 😂🙏
I kno im late but do you have any references to possible do this on 83 vt500c mine doesnt have those midway connectors i believe mine goes directly to the junction box.
Man im sorry but we really dont do anything with the 500's they are an obsolete model. but if i were you id lay hands on a wiring diagram and just start tracing the circuits. thats how I did it!
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS thanks ive been searching for the correct one as well it seems like most ppl bobber style their 500c but dont give any detail. Almost like gate keeping 🤦🏿♂️😂. Ill keep searching.
Oh yes! U plug them all, then unbolt them and find the nearest trash receptacle and deposit them in a festive but safe manner. Follow with a shot of home brew whiskey and a J and youre on your way to being a total cool guy! Once you throw away the speedometer, you will be unstoppable!
My headlight is also not working now did you figure this out by any chance? The kill switch and start button i wired in work perfect but no headlight and my front brake won’t activate my brake light, only my rear brake
If wiring up to a kill switch like at the end of this video does it matter which wire the green or gray go to ? Thanks for this video it put hope back into a old build
Yo TJ do you have a video or diagram for a push start, no kill switch and on off on toggle for headlights? I've followed this video for the push start set up with no killswitch, but I've also incorporated your diagram for on off on toggle switch for headlights but now my headlight aren't working. On my push start ive got ylw/rd on one side then blk/g and blk/w on one side. For my on off on toggle ive got blue plugged in and going to the headlight (and still spliced into high beam indicator), then black/red in the center (goes straight to the fuse box), and then white that goes to the headlight and nothing else. I couldn't find anything in your vids or forums that showed the push start/onoffon/no kill switch set up all in one. Any info would be great, I understand its electrical and you don't know exactly what all ive done to it in order to give me an exact answer, im just curious if youve got a diagram as to how its supposed to be done correctly.

Hey TJ! I would like to get in contact with you, have a few questions regarding one or two products of yours. I'm from Romania and I'm building currently my Honda Shadow 600 bobber. Best regards, Csaba! Cheers!
Trying to follow but I have 2001 shadow ace 750 cd2 and nothing is the same as u suggest although I did find a "red plug" with a total of 6 wires of which the red yellow and black white are there BUT it has 2 black wires, so I'm stumpeed... ANyone? Thanks in advance... I'm trying to build a bobber and for what it's worth I actually personally bought VTWNs public shell/stock symbol and went public with my company I a reverse merge. Crazy I know but true... look it up! Stock symbol VTWN and TBCo and me Shane Ludington. Never ridden before but love wrenching Ford Bronco stuff and this project is a special sentiment. Any help would be awesome and appeciated!
And theVTWN shell is for sale again as TBCO failed lol... not really funny BUT you can buy the Public Empty Entity for the bargain price of 100k I paid 200K :( Finishing this bike would be just as well tho, thnx again, happy bobbing everyone.
Hey brother I’m sure u heard this shit too many times but I’m at a loss here. Hope u can help. I’m waiting an 01 vt600, lights come on when I switch to on but the solenoid doesn’t click and I don’t get the bike to turn over. What the hell am I doing wrong. I’ve got everything connected
thanks for the vid I want to give my 96 vt1100c a crisp clean look and will be adding this to it is there a way to clean up the motor area of all the trash from the factory and make it still run and be clean as well
Cool, i also have a 96 VT1100C and im curious if you were able to do this. So, maybe a vid on your ride, how well it was cleaned up, possible switch places. Inquiring minds would like to know. Hope you were successful.
Hey, did you have the same wires? For mine, I don’t have that black and green. I am getting no spark for my plugs.. I have a blue/white, black/red, yellow/red, and a black/white. How did you wire yours?
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS Any update on that? Would the headlight wire be connected to the starter or the kill switch? Ive eliminated the kill switch so would it be the kill switch wires and the headlight wire attached to one end and the starter to the other?
im looking at an 84 honda shadow harness, i have the section on the table that goes from the right grip to the light cluster and its only a ft long, leaving my brake light switch going to the bars and removing the start and killswitch buttons, the colors of those 2 buttons dont match these in the video. my non latching start button has y/r, black, blue/w, black/red, and i have a nonlatching button i want to attack, looking at the button im assuming the black wires are the power and ground because theyre allways attacked and the blue is normally closed because it is attached when unpressed and the yellow and red goes to starter because it is connected when pressed, is that correct? if so is solid black the power in and black/red the ground?
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS its only a little different, i pulled it off the bike entirely, tho typing it out helped me understand it a bit more tbh, thanks for the video !
the high and low beams and be moved to an on off on switch just using the white, blue, and black and red wires which will in turn remove the low beams and create an on and off for the high beams. there is a wiring diagram on his website at support.shoptjbc.com just search wiring. the turn signals can be relocated as well with the grey, light blue, and orange wires. there are three others as well that are running lights for your front signals and I personally didn't use them and eventually ended up taking off my blinkers.
Great video but I need help! I did exactly what you’ve done here. I didn’t add a kill switch either. I’ve double checked all wiring fuses and all but my bike won’t start when I push the start button? What do I do?
I'm trying to wire up a 1981cb650 that I put on a rigid frame starting from scratch wires not even ran to controls on the handle bars I've never wired a motorcycle and have looked at so many diagrams it's not funny is there anyone that could help me out with this.
I had the same question and thought the same thing myself. I'm new to the motorcycle thing so another question I have is about replacing the other hand controls and what to do with the clutch diode. Can it be bypassed?
Anybody wish that his switch was more it's like if it doesn't look like a switch that maybe it looks like a part of the bike you just twist and that's the ignition I've been looking everywhere for something like that I really want to do like hidden in plain sight sight deal
2 questions . 1. why did you abandon the headlight cutoff . 2. you also abandon the kill switch , what is the advantage of having kill switches? i mean, i hardly turn mine off and obvs, if cant be that important if you ignored it just here in your build
I'll start using the uninsulated butt connector, 25 years of fixing motorcycles and I'm still learning things 😁👍👍 great video

use the rear brake switch. you dont need both. how often are you ONLY using your front brake?
On the VT1100 the blue/ white wire feeds the headlight hi/low switch. Have to tie it into the black/red wire or you lose power to the headlight.

This might seem a dumb question but how do determine the type of wiring to use?
Any electrical on vehicles I personally think you should go with the same gauge wire that you have snipped
And most of it should be a copper wire

I have a Honda shad vlx 600 . If I do this would I have to bypass the clutch switch . I was told I had to .
Now none of my shit works great
I am relocating start switch and getting rid of kill switch. Installing same switch you have in the video. Little confused about wiring the switch. When i removed factory housing, kill switch had Red and Orange wire and start switch had Blue and Green wire. How do I connect those to new start switch? Please help.
Sorry Start switch had Blue and Black wire
Hey TJ! I would like to get in contact with you, have a few questions regarding one or two products of yours. I'm from Romania and I'm building currently my Honda Shadow 600 bobber. Best regards, Csaba! Cheers!
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS I don't have any order number that is asked in the must fill out contact form, so I can't write a message to you.. :(
Trying to follow but I have 2001 shadow ace 750 cd2 and nothing is the same as u suggest although I did find a "red plug" with a total of 6 wires of which the red yellow and black white are there BUT it has 2 black wires, so I'm stumpeed...
ANyone? Thanks in advance... I'm trying to build a bobber and for what it's worth I actually personally bought VTWNs public shell/stock symbol and went public with my company I a reverse merge. Crazy I know but true... look it up! Stock symbol VTWN and TBCo and me Shane Ludington. Never ridden before but love wrenching Ford Bronco stuff and this project is a special sentiment. Any help would be awesome and appeciated!
And theVTWN shell is for sale again as TBCO failed lol... not really funny BUT you can buy the Public Empty Entity for the bargain price of 100k I paid 200K :(
Finishing this bike would be just as well tho, thnx again, happy bobbing everyone.
Is it the same way for the honda vtx 1300c?
What’s the specific wire? I need a female end for mine, don’t really know what to look up I’m new to building bikes
With the green tip, I need the Female end, wires are corroded and nasty solder on them
Hey brother I’m sure u heard this shit too many times but I’m at a loss here. Hope u can help. I’m waiting an 01 vt600, lights come on when I switch to on but the solenoid doesn’t click and I don’t get the bike to turn over. What the hell am I doing wrong. I’ve got everything connected
sucks that my bike doesnt have any original wiring so its become a bit more difficult
thanks for the vid I want to give my 96 vt1100c a crisp clean look and will be adding this to it is there a way to clean up the motor area of all the trash from the factory and make it still run and be clean as well
Cool, i also have a 96 VT1100C and im curious if you were able to do this. So, maybe a vid on your ride, how well it was cleaned up, possible switch places.
Inquiring minds would like to know.
Hope you were successful.
Hey, did you have the same wires? For mine, I don’t have that black and green. I am getting no spark for my plugs.. I have a blue/white, black/red, yellow/red, and a black/white. How did you wire yours?
No I sold that bike years ago and got a old harley sporty I am building now
Please.do a.video with the kill switch and button
Can i send you like $10 for all the help your videos have provided for me lol
I'm sure they wouldn't mind
is there a video about what to do with the headlight end?
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS Any update on that? Would the headlight wire be connected to the starter or the kill switch? Ive eliminated the kill switch so would it be the kill switch wires and the headlight wire attached to one end and the starter to the other?
im looking at an 84 honda shadow harness, i have the section on the table that goes from the right grip to the light cluster and its only a ft long, leaving my brake light switch going to the bars and removing the start and killswitch buttons, the colors of those 2 buttons dont match these in the video.
my non latching start button has y/r, black, blue/w, black/red, and i have a nonlatching button i want to attack, looking at the button im assuming the black wires are the power and ground because theyre allways attacked and the blue is normally closed because it is attached when unpressed and the yellow and red goes to starter because it is connected when pressed, is that correct? if so is solid black the power in and black/red the ground?
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS its only a little different, i pulled it off the bike entirely, tho typing it out helped me understand it a bit more tbh, thanks for the video !
Would this be the same for a vt125?
Do you have a video of relocating the hi and low and turn signals?
the high and low beams and be moved to an on off on switch just using the white, blue, and black and red wires
which will in turn remove the low beams and create an on and off for the high beams.
there is a wiring diagram on his website at support.shoptjbc.com
just search wiring.
the turn signals can be relocated as well with the grey, light blue, and orange wires.
there are three others as well that are running lights for your front signals and I personally didn't use them and eventually ended up taking off my blinkers.
Great video but I need help! I did exactly what you’ve done here. I didn’t add a kill switch either. I’ve double checked all wiring fuses and all but my bike won’t start when I push the start button? What do I do?
Check the starter relay

Did any of you figure out why it’s not starting? My bike cranks like it’s going to start but it never does.
I'm trying to wire up a 1981cb650 that I put on a rigid frame starting from scratch wires not even ran to controls on the handle bars I've never wired a motorcycle and have looked at so many diagrams it's not funny is there anyone that could help me out with this.
Help please no spark
So after this your headlight will not work without that blue wire connected to something right?
yeah. i just did it and my headlight won't work now. its too dark out to fix it but I'm almost positive it has to be connected to the starter wire
guitarguy1995 did you figure out how to get your headlight to work?
Can I just run the button right of those wires without having to add wire ?
lilbroly 666 did you figure it out?
Will this work for an 86 450 rebel?
How did you rerun the brake light switch ?

I had the same question and thought the same thing myself. I'm new to the motorcycle thing so another question I have is about replacing the other hand controls and what to do with the clutch diode. Can it be bypassed?
Anybody wish that his switch was more it's like if it doesn't look like a switch that maybe it looks like a part of the bike you just twist and that's the ignition I've been looking everywhere for something like that I really want to do like hidden in plain sight sight deal
Did exact same as video stated, push the push button I installed and nothing. What now?
Did you figure it out?
Does my tank have to be off for this? Jw (vlx 600) thanks
No, just remove the front neck covers. The connector is on the left side. The connector is not the same as the 750.
oh ad for the butt connectors 22-18 gauge good?
Those side covers ( battery ), you sell then?
TJBRUTALCUSTOMS you make those? They are perfect man!
2 questions .
1. why did you abandon the headlight cutoff .
2. you also abandon the kill switch , what is the advantage of having kill switches?
i mean, i hardly turn mine off and obvs, if cant be that important if you ignored it just here in your build
The kill switch is just to basically act as a key on the handlebar so you can turn the bike off without turning the key off
So the 07 spirit has 4 wires running to the starter. I’m not sure what to do.
Awesome! Thank you!
TJBRUTALCUSTOMS you have a service manual for the 2010-2013 VT750c2. Does this also work for the 2007 VT750c2?
