Yea, I am doing some restores and trying to keep the original look where the wiring is exposed at the front of the bike. I have some of the back convoluted struff but not crazy about the look. I like the gray vinyl tape the best. I think I will start looking at the electrical parts suppliers for some kind of look alike material. Some kind of thin walled black/gray vinyl hose would be perfect. Thanks for the reply Dennis.

If not, just tape 'em. I have repaired and made custom harnesses and each time I just wind black electrical tape tightly. There is flexible split tubing used in computer building and some lawn mowers (Toro) use a larger version of the same stuff. I use that stuff to dress up a computer build. I know of no sources of the original tubing as used by Japanese motorcycle manufacturers.

The covering gets brittle and cracks on these old bikes and I would like to replace it. Any ideas?
