If you reverse the starter motor's polarity then I think that will make it turn backwards?



Hi L.A.B. that was the very thing that crossed my mind and the reason I asked. At the end of the day I am doing the wiring to get rid of a lot of the unneccessary stuff and clean it up by renewing dodgy connections etc.

I moved on from just wanting a clean up to sounding out you guys about fuses and the relays, which when explained to me made a lot of sense to fit, (even if it did take me a wee while to grasp),  I sat down and drew out the relay wiring & connections for what I needed, one sketch for each item and wrote down instructions on where I am going to run the wires, I have also done preliminary wiring  drawing for different parts of the bike, I still have to figure out the best place for my fuse box, I think it will be either in the battery area or in the gap just behind the soleniod. I also stripped down the switches and cleaned 30+ years of gunge from the contacts.

I feel I am getting there; the only reason I was going to change to Negative earth was as stated in the above post, and to be honest, if there is going to be hassle regarding polarity and the starter motor, it's a bit of hassle  I could do without and I'll probably leave it on Positive earth.

I'l find out about it possibly running backwards and let you know
