Radio Shack sells molex connectors and pins that work on our bike. As you've probably ascertained it's easier to find a better harness from a parted bike, I would not go about rewiring it. I would replace instead. .

I value your opinion and suggestions very highly and I've considered getting a used harness. I decided against it though for 2 reasons. Y replace a 40yr old harness with a 40 yr old harness? The other being that I'm hoping by rewiring it myself that I can improve upon it (new wires and connectors) and possibly streamline it. I'm probably dreaming but it seems like it could be done better with fewer wires and connectors. Also, the OEM set up doesn't have a fuseblock, just one main fuse. I know I can improve upon that. Your thoughts and those of others are appreciated.

Common sense has become so uncommon that I consider it a super power.

Present Stable includes:
'74 GT750 Resto-mod I've owned since '79
'83 GS1100E (The best E I've ever enjoyed, Joe Nardy's former bike)
'82 GS1100G Resto project
