Introducing the

Gonzo Harness'

As the sales of the Gonzo Harness increase, there are other applications coming to light (pun intended) for modifications that other riders are making to their bikes. Also I have now developed a plug and play harness that will plug in-between your stock harness and your headlamp. This Headlight Harness will take 98% of the amperage off of the poorly designed starter button and run the headlight straight off of the battery. The starter button and hi/lo switch will only be used to trip a hi or low relay and a full charging voltage will be directed to the headlight without the voltage drops across these switches. Results should be no more failed starter switches due to overloads, and theoretically brighter light output.. This harness can be equipped with or without auxiliary light leads which can be used to drive other options like GPS, Radar Detectors, Power Ports, Cigarette Lighters, etc. Another application is for adding the Stebil Air horn for a louder wakeup call for those butt wipes on the cell phone while driving and nearly running you down.

Why a Gonzo Harness?

Additional lights can be an excessive drain on stock wiring harnesses that were not designed for the
additional load. In some instances, these additional loads can cause catastrophic failures on stock
harnesses and in particular starter switches. The starter switches on Honda brands in particular are known
to fail from owners hooking up additional accessories and wiring them into the headlight circuit so they
only operate when the headlight is on. The starter button is part of the headlight circuit and passes current
to the headlight when the button is not depressed. When depressed, the headlight goes out and the
voltage is directed to a starter relay.

Additional loads on the headlight circuit cause excessive current through the starter button
contacts which causes heat build-up that melts the plastic holding these contacts in place.
Eventually the switch will be compromised and leave a rider stranded. I have fixed multiple
Honda switches in the past that have made this error, some while on long rides away from home.

Take for instance the average and most common 55W driving lights. You add two to your bike for
a combined 110Watts. Ohms Laws tell us that Power (110W) divided by Voltage (12V) will give
us the current draw for these lights. So for a true 110Watts at an average of 12 Volts DC we
are drawing about 9.1 Amps through the starter switch to run these on top of the headlight current.

The relay isolates the stock harness from any real current draw, taking voltage directly through
a fused battery connection and passing it to the lights. This makes for a brighter light since switches
are not in the circuit. Switches cause resistance and ultimately current loss and a dimmer bulb.
A water-tight fuse holder is equipped with a 15 AMP fuse for light bar harnesses, and 30 amps for headlight harnesses.

Switches can be added by splicing them into the ground circuit of some of my harnesses to give a rider total control of when the lights are used. Disabling the ground to the relay through a switch stops the relay
from working and eliminates the possibility of shorting an exposed hot wire running around the
frame and tank. I have mounted these switches on the steering neck covers, side covers, handlebar switches, and brake cylinder switches.

The trigger wire and both light wires are sleeved in chrome braid and heat shrunk on
each end. This makes the visible wiring aesthetically pleasing. Additional sleeves are provided to
dress the wires coming out of the auxiliary lights. If your auxiliary lights come with two wires (Hot and Ground) connect the ground wire to the base mount of the light and the hot wire to my harness. The remainder of the harness is encased in black wire loom and taped at all wire exit points.

The headlight trigger wire hooked to the stock harness draws minimal current, just enough to
trip the relay so it will pass the battery voltage to the lights, saving your harness and starter switch.
When the headlight goes out while cranking the engine, the auxiliary lights will go out as well.

See what customers are saying:

Cecil in Alabama - Gonz, the harness I got from you 3 years ago is super.

Tom in North Carolina - The Gonzo Harness Rocks!! Almost plug and play except for the battery connection!

Xray in Witchita - You know, I told you that I wired mine up based on the write up on your website, right.
I think that it's kinda funny that I saw you were selling a harness for $40ish....I thought, "well, sheeiitt...
I can do that for much less.....what is it, a relay...some terminals...heat shrink...and a couple of lengths of wire?

Well, I did it, no problem. I had a few terminals and things from other projects, so all I had to buy was the
relay...and crap, I didn't have the right gauge wire, so I bought that...needed some heat shrink, bought
that...oh, yeah...needed a couple of diodes...ran out of tape...wasn't happy with some of my terminals, so
I bought a few packs of those...damn, ran out of butane for my soldering iron, had to go back for that.

Anway, all in all...I spent about $35ish on it....

The New Gonzo Hydra Harness

The Gonzo Hydra Harness is equipped with a three relays, a high and low relay to operate the headlight, and a third relay to give ignition operation to the light bar so it will be on with both the hi and low beam. This harness takes the full charging voltage and passes it right to the headlight without any switches in the circuit. The relays are triggered off of the stock starter switch and hi/lo switch which normally support the full operational load of 9-10 amps.
This harness only draws 150mA of current across those switches. This is a best option for adding light bars because let's face it, some guys have burned up their starter switches WITHOUT additional lights installed!

The Original Gonzo Lightbar Wiring Harness

This is a motorcycle wiring harness that is designed to lay under the seat area and run up the frame and out
the steering neck to power up auxiliary light bar lights. It could be used to power up other accessories instead.
Hopefully the following book will answer all of your questions and concerns.

This harness makes a light installation simple. One ring lug connector is labeled to hook to a frame
ground, one ring lug connects to the battery positive (+), and one connector hooks to the headlamp wire
low or high beam (check your state regulations for running auxiliary lights). I recommend attaching
to the low beam as this is where you would most use the lights and gain the most visibility from other drivers.
Hi beams are usually only used on long open stretches of road when you are alone or in front of a group.
There are two wires that are equipped with female bullet connectors which connect to the male bullets that
most auxiliary lights come equipped with. This makes an easy disconnect for the lights if you have to remove
the light bar for any reason. The LB-1B is operational on hi and low beams by tapping into the running
light circuit under the seat which will leave the aux lights on when the key is on, even while cranking the engine.

This is a nice harness that you could not build individually for this price with all these details.
I have installed these harnesses on Honda Shadows (VT1100 and VT750 Spirits, Sabers,
Aces, and Aeros), Honda Valkyries, Harleys, Goldwings and Yamaha Viragos with no problems. Makes wiring a 15 minute job. Best to remove the tank and seat to get it dressed in but not really necessary
to remove the tank. The loom can be routed under the tank or pushed up along the frame and
tie-wrapped in.

Harness Unwrapped, Harness Labeled, Harness Sleeved, and Ready to ship....

See pictures for more details. All wire ends are marked on electrical tape that
will be removed as it is installed. Wiring novices cannot mess this up!!!

The leads can be extended
for the new Sabre fork mounts
as shown to the right.

Order the LB-1E or LB-1BE.

Eldorado’s Bike from HondaShadow.net

The LB-1 - harness comes wired for low beam operation working whenever the low beam is on, and off while cranking the motor as on some bikes.

The LB-1B – wired to be hot with both High and Low beams, the light bar will always be on but can be disabled using any switch you provide. The switch can be wired into the ground on the relay to disable the bar when parked or as needed. The light bar will not go out while cranking the engine.

The LB-1E – same as the LB-1 but has longer leads going to the lights when mounting them on the fork legs or under the triple tree.

The LB-1BE – same as the LB-1B but has longer leads going to the lights when mounting them on the fork legs or under the triple tree.

The LB-2 – the Cobra harness comes wired for low beam operation working whenever the low beam is on, and off while cranking the motor as on some bikes.

The LB-2B –the Cobra harness with light bar wired to be hot with both High and Low beam operation. When configured for BOTH High and Low Beams, the light bar will always be on with the key but can be disabled using the switch on the Cobra light bar.

The LBHWY –this is the same as the LB-1 harness with really long braided leads for lights installed down on the highway bars.

Gonzo’s Headlight Harness

The Gonzo Headlight Harness is equipped with a high and low relays to take the full charging voltage
and pass it right to the headlight without any switches in the circuit. The relay is triggered off of the stock starter switch and hi/lo switch which normally support the full operational load of 8-10 amps.
This harness only draws 150mA of current across those switches. This is a BIG step
up from the light bar harness because let's face it, some guys have burned up their starter switches WITHOUT additional lights installed!

As seen in the picture, the Gonzo Harness is equipped with H4 plug and socket. This makes for a simple install.

1. Pull the seat and tank off if you want to dress this in properly (refer to Owners Manual)

2. Attach the ground to the frame

3. Connect the positive side of the battery

4. Unplug the headlight and insert the harness into the circuit.

5. Insert the aux light wires into the extra sleeves, if needed crimp the male bullets or discard, and heat the shrink tubing over the joint to help water proof it.

The optional light bar wires are shown on this harness.
