Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

Thanks for the help guys.

Wiring on a bike of that age will be relatively simple.

That first link was the most helpful yet. Although i doubt any of the wires are there original colour.

That could be fun... It's bad enough dealing with old looms and switch gear, let alone working out what some else has removed or modified from the standard set up.

Yeah its a fun bike to ride and not powerful enough to get me in trouble. Your telling me... the guy has just twisted most of the wires together!
