Thanks posplayr - I'm a step ahead of you, though
. I built a completely new harness and it's almost done - I just have to add a couple wires, test fit it in my frame, and then install the connectors.

I stumbled on this thread earlier tonight, and went back to the first post and spent the rest of the night reading the entire thread.
Incredible!

I should have explained myself better - I have the grounds laid out in the harness the way I want them, I just didn't update my schematic. I.E, I ran separate grounds for my headlight and horns, yet the turn signal grounds are spliced into one wire, same with the brake/tail/lic/cluster etc.
Hey bud - the engine is going to be started before springtime. The electrics should be finished within the next week. Then it's onto the cables...
Things got a bit goofy over the past couple weeks - my brakelines/fittings order turned into a debacle, but that's resolved now. Also, my ratcheting crimper with dies for "b" crimps worked for $h*t on the stamped terminals for ATM/DTM connectors, so, I had to buy a new crimper which delayed me a week. I will attempt to finish and test the harness this weekend. Here are some progress photos:

such a beautifull work.
I saw that you painted the engine cases. Which paint? Did you add a vernish?

Two coats VHT engine primer (gray) and three coats VHT engine paint (silver/aluminum). Baked all of the parts in my oven at 200f for 1hr.
Dyna 2000 digital system - coils are 2.2 ohms. The system has a built-in low RPM timing retard.

This thread has ruined every other build thread I will ever see. You've set the bar so high I cannot possibly be impressed again. Damn you!
