A small practice run. Repaired and cleaned a rear harness and wrapped it. Also fixed a headlight plug. The rear harness turned out great. The non adhesive wrap is easy to use. Just need better skills to get it smoother

I stumbled across this site while looking for sleeving several years ago.  www.vintageconnections.com/Products/Sleeving-and-Wrap
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

Looking good, did you hold one end in a vice etc so you could pull the loom out straight while you were wrapping ? also when you are wrapping try to roll the tape on with your thumb with a little tension on the tape (it's a bit awkward but gets good results)

I think  learned of Vintage from you originally. Yes all my supplies are from them. It matches OEM almost perfect.

Yes, I held the connector end in the vise, but trying to hold the loom with one hand and wrap with the other was awkward. Thinking if I can hold the loom somehow maybe with a strap around my waist that would free up both hands to wrap. Still working on technique.
