Probably dumbest question ever

[maritimeboy]

I'm working with the 80 gl1100 wiring schematic and see the term, "tube" in a number of places. Is it safe to assume these are tube connectors for joining 2 wire ends?

Actually I think what you are looking at is color coding tubes. I bet if you look, you will see lets say "OR tube" on your diagram, if you find that wire on the bike it is probably a black wire with an orange band (or tube) on it near the plug.

Interesting...I read about this and found a single entry for the word "tube" in the electrical section.
It's as shown here..

.I am speculating that in some wiring bundles,there may be a colored band attached around it (in a tube fashion) as a form of identification like this...

First of all, there are no dumb questions!!! The only "dumb question" is the one not asked... If you don't know, ask, that's how we all learn...

Now that said, I don't know the answer to your question but I too have seemingly learned a new fact today so thank you for that...
