Wire Harness Covering

[fbn ent]

You know, after all these years, I have never run across someone who carries the black plastic tubing that OEM wiring runs through. Anyone know where can I find that or, what do you use for wiring harness cover? Black tape just doesn't make it in today's world.

Since you're Canadian - check with an indy who deals with Preston Cycle. They got all sizes/types.

Kuryakyn sells a "roundit" wire wrap which is pretty nice to use. Part #'s 1987,1991, and 1995.

Don't throw a way dirty, hard, kinked conduit. Drop the stuff into a cardoard box and heat it with a heat gun. It will soften, the kinks come out, and it'll look like new. Just don't melt it.

Should be available several places...I bought 2 different sizes in rolls 30 years ago when I was a young guy.  Rick

We bought 100 foot rolls of all the common sizes from a place called Waytek.  !00 ft. from there was about the same price as 15 feet from HD.

Auto parts stores sell wire loom in all different colors even chrome. Personally I would go with wire wrap. You can find anything on eBay you just have to know what to call it.

Looks to me like if you can't find it at Graybar, it does not exist...    https://shop.graybar.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/GraybarODEView?isFromSearch=false&langId=-1&storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&totalItems=460&pageSize=9&ip_state=c0%3Dt%253A1%252F%252F%253Assl%252F%252Fiphrase%2Bbundle%2Btaxonomy%252F%252F%253ACable%2BTies%2Band%2BWire%2BManagement%252FProtection%2BProducts%253AWire%2BProtection%26q%3D9%26p%3D2%26a0%3Diphrase%2Bbundle%2Btaxonomy%252F%252Fv%253A0%26i%3Dsitemap%2Bid%26qt%3D1362434415%26qid%3Dq6VVjU9J3rsgW%26vid%3Dv2ff40I5keTkT%26ioe%3DUTF-8%26qtid%3DniLdPZlJGcmZQ%26s1%3Dsitemap%2Bid%252F%252F1%26rid%3DrydCWDoWSnnqL%26s0%3Diphrase%2Brelevance%252F%252F0%26t%3D0%26m0%3Diphrase%2Bbundle%2Bid%26mcmode%3Dtest&ip_sortBy=&currentPage=4

You can buy PET sleeving on Ebay. It comes in several colors and sizes. I bought it in 1/4" and 1/2" and am covering  my wire harness with it as well as my oil lines. I used some of the black on a shovelhead build 20 years ago and it is still in good shape. I bought some from this vendor, go to the store and see what colors are available.

He also has the fire-rated braid and the PVC sleeving.
The build I am using it on now is in the General section- you can check it out there. Look for Ultima Frame Chop Build
If you are looking for split sleeving to use on existing harness, this stuff won't work.

Be REAL careful about using CHROME wire looms for electrical "stuff".  Many years ago I was the proud owner of a 1969 SS396 Chevelle.  Feeling like I could dress up the engine compartment just a little more, I used chrome sprial wire loom on all of the Spark Plug wires.  That night, with the motor running, I popped open the hood to show off my handicraft.  There were freaking sparks jumping everyplace.

The problem with the standard "conduit" is that you have to slide it over the wires from the ends.  Check out "zippertubing.com".  They have insulated, heat shrinkable, EMI shielded etc.  I had to cut into the conduit wherre the front harness turns up the steering neck to the fairing on my EG.  Wire tied it back together.  This is a much cleaner option.
