Simple Wiring For My 1978 Kz1000 Bobber

Alright, so I have been building my kz1000 bobber/chopper for a while now and have come down to the god dam worst part! The wiring..... So I have a new set of turn signals, a new headlight,and brake light. I REALLY would like to keep it to the bare minimum when it comes down to it. The wiring harness is a HUGE mess and I'm ripping my hair out trying to figure this out... please let me know what you guys think I should do. :blink:

Some basic wire gauge sizes to use:

1. 18 gauge for turn signals,brake and tail light circuits.
2. 16 gauge for ignition circuits to ensure good curent flow.
3. 14 gauge for wiring from the alternator to the rectifier/regulator and headlight wiring.
4. 12 gauge from the rectifier output to the battery Positive(+) terminal.
5. At least 8 gauge for the heavier battery cables(I like using 6 gauge welding cable).

Thanks man, hopefully someone can help me with a diagram.

If what is listed in "Filebase" won't work, have "Loudhvx" make you a diagram, he may already have one for your simplified wiring needs.

Sweet ride... What you need is probably in this thread somewhere.

Hi to all. I could use some help on the bare bones wiring subject. I have a 1977 KZ1000 engine. I will be using it in a 2/3 scale WWll jeep. I need to do a bare bones wiring on it. It just needs to run and charge the battery. I am having a hard time finding someone locally to do that. Any help would be appreciated. I will post pictures on the build if I can ever get this engine running.
Thanks for your help, this is a great site.
