I'll start using the uninsulated butt connector, 25 years of fixing motorcycles and I'm still learning things 😁👍👍 great video

Great videos! Very informative since I just got a VT600 will do this soon thanks TJ!

These are great must have tutorials TJ. Thanks for putting in the time to show us how to use your stuff.

Very helpful. Only solid video i could find of this. Thanks!

Rad man. Thank you. Learning as I go, but wiring seems daunting. Appreciate your help...( and patience with the rookie questions )!

really good clear video . made it look easy , often these vids leave you more confused than before

Nice , this should work on my 07 VTX 1300c. Great video.

Awesome video, will be doing this. Quick question though, what do we do with the remaining wires going into the plug?

Love the lesson on non-insulated butt connectors. May go exclusively to that!

YESSSSSS!!! Thanks bro. Another great vid!!

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.

Amazing tutorial!

Just did this to my ace. You the man tj

Very straightforward and smooth, dig it. SUB’d. Peace out..:)

Does this still allow for the headlight to come on with out additional wiring?

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

Great video. I'm screwed. Too much for my head.

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

is it possible to engage the kill switch (badabum) to another of those switches like you have for the light?

The previous owner of my bike has the factory start and run buttons active, but the ignition key mechanism has been replaced by a toggle switch. I want to go back to a keyed system, have that toggle switch (inconspicuous location) operating as kill switch and then run TJ’s button start which is currently onboard just not hooked up. Do I just fish out the wires from the oe button start run them to the toggle switch and then to the push button as TJ suggests here? I’m excited to get this going on my ride. Am I missing anything? Thanks 🤙🏾😎

My vt 600 also has a red and black which apparently goes to my headlight fuse, whats the best thing i can do to that?

Is that the clip that plugs into the speedometer/miles on a 01 Honda shadow 750

My bike has so many electrical issues I just bought it and it’s a 88’ shadow 600 do you guys sell a wiring harness for it the guy before me hacked it bad and I need to replace it??

Nice vid but what with the light beam switch???

Doing this on my 81 cm400 c and the push start is the same colors but what about the wires from the actual kill switch itself? You say in your video the kill switch is with the wires on the push start so I'm kinda confused on what to really do? No I don't want to bypass the kill anymore. Please help

Are the wire colors the same on a VT600

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

How many AMPS it's you push button than you are using??? Thank you

I think this is why my headlight isn’t working now

Alright im currently building a 2005 hondashadow spirit vt750dcb now let me mention that most of the factory parts were gone. No blinker mainly ive been trying to find a stem to mount some after market blinkers ive bought and i cant find none, do you know a part resolve this problem for me ive been beating my head against the wall for months

You can do this in every honda bike?

Do you have a video of relocating the hi and low and turn signals?

oh ad for the butt connectors 22-18 gauge good?

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 .

If you ground out what would you look at to fix the problem that it doesn't turn on

Is it the same way for the honda vtx 1300c?

Would this be the same for a vt125?

Will this work for an 86 450 rebel?

Where did u get the wire u connect to the other wires

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?

I relocated on the start and kill switch and have a push to start button. My question is how do I go about tying in remote start? Is it possible?

What about the other three wires. Where do they go. Or are they absolete

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. Im thinking since stock setup had a blue/white jumped from the toggle to the start button that that would have something to do with it but again I'm not sure. Thanks in advance man

I need that push button brother

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.

Have a 99 Honda Shadow vt600 try to put a starter button on it and I got those three wires but it won't work

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

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

is there a video about what to do with the headlight end?

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?

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

Thanks!

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.

damn boii you make this shit easy, once i get these switches in and get my rabbit ears from zombie performance my bike is going to be sexy.. probably will end up keeping it for life

How does this work when you have to pull on your throttle as well as engage the clutch all the while pushing the ignition?

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!

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.

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.

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???

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!

Also what did you do with that headlight wire?

TJ I recently replaced my key switch with a toggle and installed a new push button start next to it exact set up as your video, do i need to connect the two or can they remain independently wired, do you need a kill switch wired in for the bike to start? is there an immobilizer i am unaware of? Battery is charged, fuses are good, i have watched all the videos, looked up the wiring diagrams and followed everything 100% and cant get it to start. HELPP!!

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

Please.do a.video with the kill switch and button

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 :)

This might seem a dumb question but how do determine the type of wiring to use?

Those side covers ( battery ), you sell then?

Does my tank have to be off for this? Jw (vlx 600) thanks

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 do I connect the headlight wire to after removing from standard housing

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?

Does this not fuck with the Cdi box ?

So in doing this, does the key become the new kill switch?

I followed the steps but I can’t get the headlight to go on, any ideas? Is it that blue wire?

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

So after this your headlight will not work without that blue wire connected to something right?

So why did u add wires to the previous wires? Can’t u just use the regular wires without adding wires. If its necessary what size wires did you use?

Any options for cleaning the horn and turn signals ?

How did you rerun the brake light switch ?

I’d find a different spot to put the switches so you don’t have to snip the wires each time you want to just pop off your side panel for anything

I already did this, but want to remove my ignition.. do I need to do ANOTHER toggle switch? Or can I just get rid of the ignition?

Can I just run the button right of those wires without having to add wire ?

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

Stupid question. What about the other wires left on the plug? Just leave it ? Nothing to do with them anymore?

Can i send you like $10 for all the help your videos have provided for me lol

sucks that my bike doesnt have any original wiring so its become a bit more difficult

So the 07 spirit has 4 wires running to the starter. I’m not sure what to do.

What gauge wires are they?

Did exact same as video stated, push the push button I installed and nothing. What now?

Would that and you single throttle cable work on a Rebel 250?

Help please no spark

Now none of my shit works great

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

"Black Bikes Matter" hahaha. Great video man.

*wiring

Watching cuz my kill switch is not functioning and bike won't start

#BlackBikesMatter

Wires. I hate wires.

I’m loosing my god damn mind

Какой хернёй занимаются люди!
