78 KZ1000A2 Indicator Panel Harness

So the horn is not working on my 78 KZ1000A2 - turns out to be that the painted clubman bars could not make ground. Scraping off a little bit of paint under the switch housing and the handle bar clamps fixed the problem. Now that my horn is honking my left indicator is blinking dim together with my headlight. I determined that I have a short in the wiring harness. Systematically tracing down the short, I found it in somewhere in the instrument cluster. Does anybody know where I could find the wiring harness for the instrument cluster (I assume there is a separate indicator panel harness).

Is there an aftermarket solution for this, or where could I find a working replacement for the indicator panel harness??

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I would bet that harness is the same on a lot of 650/750/900/1000 bikes up till 1980 B)
