Hey all,
I completely rewired my SP. Non stock handlebar switches and fuse box, added relays, aftermarket alternator and ignition system and of course non stock wire colours. I've hand drawn a schematic. It's about 30" by 24", so a little too big to fold up and tuck under the seat. :grin:

I want to redraw, shrink it and add colour to the wires. In a former life (15 years ago.) I played with some CAD programs, but I'm out of touch with what's available now.
Any suggestions for CAD software? This is my one and only project, so I'm looking for a short learning curve and low cost. I know, it would make more sense to have someone do it for me, but it's an excuse to learn something new...

I have used TinyCAD. It is OK and not to complicated.

That's some impressive work right there. A cad plan would not do it justice. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

you can download a free 30 day trial of Autocad Lite.

If you own microsoft office you could do this in Visio... might be able to do it for free with an online version but I haven't checked that. I started using Visio back in the '90's before Microsoft bought and bloated it, and have used it for a number of non-standard projects.

sketchup....
I use it everyday as I design outdoor structures, pergolas, pavilions, decks, carports that kind of thing.
it is primarily a 3d modeler, but it works fine as a 2d cad.
its free, its very easy to use, and you can view on your smart phones and tablets.

I use Easydraw for Mac it does all I need.

+1 on TinyCAD. Have used it for years to design electronics, block diagrams and occasionally for construction.
I think it will handle a page size as big as your printer can handle.
Free with no ads.
Impressive work you did. I don't think you'll be able to shrink it and still be able to read it.

I use the free scheme-it circuit diagramming tool on the digikey site to develop my projects. Here's my final drawing for my integrated airhorn/OEM horn/headlights/spotlights system on my T3:
