Yes, that would be like the first diagram I posted.If I wanted to still keep the start kill switch could I put the yellow/red to brown and red from the coils and black to the black from the starter solenoid?
The new key switch would then only use the batt and ign connections, and simply be an on-off switch.

There are many options for upgrades. Dyna 2000, MSD, and probably others, even a factory version with electronic advance would be nice.
In my opinion, the Dyna S would be a down grade from the factory one your bike came with. Not that it's bad, but the factory one is a little more sophisticated and more efficient.

I figure I should ask as many questions aas I can before you start to charge me. Is there a switch I can remove that will allow me to start the engine without pulling the clutch in. On my bike you have to pull the clutch in even when it is in nutral. Thank's
Yes, the switch is actually on the clutch lever itself. Just connect the two wires together permanently. I usually leave that off on bare-bones diagrams.

I know some people don't like the bobber style look on these bikes, but I do. I made struts for it because I do not know if I want to put springs back on it or not. I made a pan seat, fender, sissy bar and forward controls out of scrap metal. I want to put a smaller tank on it, just not sure how small. Lot's more to do on her. I also have another kz1000 that I am going to rebuild that I want to bring back aas close to original as possible.

And as always, make sure to tape off the connections on that key switch.
I kept telling my buddy the same thing and he never did. His keys would dangle and short out on the switch posts. He kept wondering why the bike would stall and blow the main fuse, until I pointed it out.
