The wiring diagram is different for the early models (pre 600N). I think it will be difficult to adapt. Consideration also to ignition switch as they aren't the same!

I didn't say impossible though........for an expert.

There are also mounting considerations for clocks and instrument panel but biggest will be the headlamp mount which are bracketed onto the upper fork legs. Again, not impossible......

Expand on your project a bit more...........?

hi
i want to fit n clocks and lights to my 600s i have the top and bottom yokes and mounting brackets and top yokes

Wiring may be the downfall. Do you have a Haynes manual to cross check the differences?

I assume you have the clocks and headlamp (Angel poo to many!!!!!) so you'll have to see where the loom takes you. I doubt it's that simple though.

Errr, good luck! Report back....

Well done.

Ps, the forks are bigger on the S and the N after 1997, when they switched to twin discs.

After my initial doubts I must say well done too.
