I added a page, 61 BMW R75/5 Removing the Wire Harness & Electrics, showing how I removed the wiring harness and electrics. I took detailed pictures of the wiring layout, labeled all the ends and made some sketches so when I reassembly the wiring, it should be a lot easier. Here are some of the pictures.

Coil Wiring Detail
I have used a cheep double coil from a local -Cheep- Bike bits suppler for around ten years now ,on my R80/7. It cost just a few quid (£) and is the size of a matchbox. No problems with it at all. Funny thing was ,my friend who was with me in the workshop made a guard for it out of 6mm steel because it looked so mickey mouse surrounded by all that heavy metal ,that probably was twenty times the weight of the coil.

Hi Dale,
So, you peeked my curiosity. I found these, which seem pretty small. Something to consider in the future.

Lol, I thought I’m the only one who put little labels on the wires so I don’t get confuse. Awesome blog by the way.
Hi Jason,
(Grin) … I figured it might be a year before I finished and that’s an eternity for an old forgetful fart like me. It paid off when I assembled the wiring as it was straight forward to connect everything in the the right place.
I’m pleased you like the blog. I hope to get to the UK one day and do some riding.
Best.
Brook.
