For some reason John's link didn't work for me. Let's see if mine works.

Well it didn't. Let's try it another way using the URL tags.

And this one is a color diagram for an 81, found here on KZrider. It's the first pdf.

I put a new wiring harness into my CB550 last year. It was a lot easier than I expected. I almost didn't need the wiring diagram. Just take it slow and do a section at a time; rear end, then under the seat, then under the tank, etc. Remove a wire from the old harness, connect it to the correct place on the new harness, then go to the next wire. By following this procedure I had almost no problems when complete. My electrical problems were solved and the old girl fired right up. Good luck.
