I found these 2 wires with dual female connectors located behind the side cover on the right side of the bike. One is yellow with a black stripe and goes to the bundle of wires on the right side leading to the tail and turn signals. The other wire is white with a black stripe and goes in to the dohickey in the picture which is on the right side, just forward of the battery holder (circled in white). If anyone knows what these are fore please let me know. Thanks.

dohickey is an accessory fuse box & white-black wire is an acc power wire.  There may also be a white-blue acc wire that terminates at the headlight bucket. yellow-black is probably a ground terminal for accessories.  The double-females w protective cover are pretty common for the acc terminals.

ps:  I don't see an acc fuse box for a 1980 440.  some of the later 440 models had it. so you might want to verify the year.  Also, the KZ400.com site has a manual for the KZ440 w wiring diagrams.  Warning: don't go into the forums as they may harm your computer.
