1969 T120R Wiring question

Hi guys
Im re-wiring a Bonnie at the moment and the leads that go to the condensers are nowhere near long enough. Im I right in thinking that the condensers fit into the horn bracket at the front of the tank, with the horn relay?
If anyone has a photo of the coils and condensers that would be great.

Sorry I'm just now answering this, but I've been up in the mountains away from the internet for a week.

You may not have the correct wiring harness. Perhaps you need to relocate the condensers up in the coil cavity?

Welcome to the forum.

Yes, its a new loom and everything else is pretty much where it should be. I wasnt sure where they were supposed to be fitted- they were off the bike when I bought it and I cant find any photos - most people use electronic ignition.
Thanks anyway

Shrugger, from what can be seen, that bike looks to be a showpiece, if only mine were so. RR

LOL! Not mine. But one to aspire to. Without a doubt!
Mine is currently, a roughly Bike shaped pile of parts.
I've scrubbed the net clean for pix of 69-70 for my own referance
and anyone else I might help out.

Hi RR,
You should know by now that dirt, grime and chewed up old bolt heads are decribed as "character" these days
