Headlamp Wires

[Glyn Pickering]

Just putting the cycle parts on my vision back together
and have noted what a dodgey design the exit of the wires from the headlamp is. There is no waterproof cover to stop the weather entering or to prevent wires chaffing. Has any one had problems with this? Has anyone  improved the design with some type of rubber sleeving or grommet?

Cheers

I guess that water won't easily splash up into the enclosure behind the headlamp due to the position of the holes etc.

As for the chafing concern, there should be the simple black plastic sleeving over the wires, or maybe black tape, a good amount of the latter should do the trick anyhow.

glyn,
  an inner tube from a bicycle tire is your best friend, i used two three inch long sections to provide the extra protection to my headlight bucket wire mess . just cut the sections off the tube, cut open and wrap around the wires, securing the tubes with electrical tape .
  the tire tube also works wonders on carb base tubes ,just pull section over the tops , remount carbs. just like new , .
