2003 Wiring Harness Modification Question
 

Hi. :) I have a question about converting to a 2001-2005 Wiring Harness (US). I think that I now have all the necessary parts, but I want to be certain before launching into the project. (I asked my local Honda Dealership, but they looked at me like I had just launched an SBD beer-fart.) :)

Aside from WIRE HARNESS 32100-MBB-A20; SENSOR, ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE 36151-MC7-003; MODULE, IGNITION CONTROL (CDI) 30410-MBB-A21; CONVERTER UNIT, C.D.I. 30450-MBB-E31; FUEL UNIT SET 37080-MBB-A20; METER ASSY., COMBINATION 37100-MBB-A21 (Speedo/Gauge Cluster); and STARTER MOTOR ASSY. 31200-MBB-A41--all of which I have, are there any other sensors or components that differ from a 1998 VTR and that I need to buy to complete the wiring harness conversion?

Thanks.

Correction
 

There was a copy-and-paste error in the question above: I didn't mean to include SENSOR, ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE36151-MC7-003, which is used on all 1998-2005 VTR1000F's. I meant rather to include 37750-KV3-951 THERMO UNIT, for the digital temperature gauge in the 2001-2005 gauge cluster. (I accidentally copied Item 14 instead of Item 15 in the Partzilla VTR1000F Water Pipe parts list.) :)

So what exactly are you doing? Just changing the wiring harness? Trying to upgrade the gauges? Not sure I get it.

Thanks for asking for clarification. I am changing the whole she-bang--wire harness, dash, ignition module, convertor unit, , etc. (which is a necessity for the digital gauge upgrade, anyway.) The 2003 eBay-purchased wire harness came equipped with turn signal relay and starter-switch fuse and relay.

(This is part of a performance engine upgrade, and--more importantly--I want a working friggin' fuel gauge, a digital temperature gauge, and dual trip-meters. My 1998 VTR trip-meter switch broke four years ago, and my low-fuel-level sensor assembly quit working over seven years ago. Enough with periodically looking down into the fuel tank!) lol

I think that I have all of the components for the conversion on-hand now, but thanks for the effort, just the same.

cheers, :cheers:

You didn't need the whole harness btw. All the wires are there, you just change the connections.

I upgraded to a cbr600rr dash which has digital temp, speedo etc. I just put a cbr sender in the tank and used the 98 harness.

A whole new harness is a lot of unneeded work. (IMO)
