Hey all, been a while since I posted last, my project took a new turn, I did have the bike up and riding a little for a while, but carb issues made me put it away, but in the spring a running 440 parts bike came up locally on Craigslist for cheap, couldn't pass it up so I snatched it. So now my 76 400 has a 440 engine. This was nice because now I also have the electronic ignition and 6-speed too.
I have a question on the wiring. The ignition seemed easy enough, haven't tested it yet but it was pretty straightforward. I am getting to the charging system now, and the systems are slightly different. The 400 had a couple extra wires coming from the generator and it also has a separate rectifier\regulator, the 400 has less wires (just two yellow I think) and an all-in-one rec\reg. How should I go about wiring the 440 system in? Or find a used ZX500 regulator and make it custom, using the 440 wiring diagram as a guide? I don't really want to swap the whole harness over to 440 and I also don't really want to hack up the 440 harness either.
Guidance is appreciated! Thanks!
