I'll have to bump up in size here and give it a whirl. Thank you

I found the 3/8" (3/16-5/8 size range) fits most of the wiring. You can also pickup some 1/4" very small wire like the remote.
It takes a little practice the first time around. Put the loom on the wire before installing it. The ends will want to fray quickly when cut without a hot knife. You can use a small wire tie or a piece of shrink on the ends to keep them and in place.

Hope this didn't get to far off from the original post.

How did you like the DA 800.4?

What size loom should I be looking for to house power, ground, and remote? And is the braided stuff hard to work with compared to the plastic?
The zip tie holders I have used eventually came unglued from my saddlebags. Maybe I had too much tension in the wire, but i didn't think so.

I never use it for the power wires. Not a bad Idea to, just use power wires that have plenty of insulation. I use the loom for airlines, speaker wires, exposed wires, and bundles of small awg wires. I would still use the sticky pad zip tie blocks. The loom was just for wire routing. The stuff does fray when cut, but they sell some that does very little. I don't waste the extra money on it though. I just use a small torch on the end after cutting.

That's the 800.2 and I really liked it to push the HSK165XLS and MLK165.3 components i had (had it dialed down to about 230 watts a side). Very clean and warm sounding amp. We were gonna use on the new build, but decided to put it up for sale to help offset the cost of painting the new lids.

Right on topic. I like using the loom (or whatever protector used) to cover any wires that move around with the fairing. And to keep pairs of wires together, such as speaker wires. I also makes for a nice looking install. The SG should be done by the end of the week. I'll try to post some pics then.
