Hi Gang,
I am in the process of taking my time replacing the handlebar switches. At a tech rally, we'd discovered this bike's wiring has been buggered up over the years. I'm posting a couple pictures - I purchased a new wiring block because you can see something got hot and melted the end of it. On the black wire on the headlight switch, there is a green wire spliced in - wondering if that green wire belongs on the end of the wiring block. Finally, there were 3 wires taped up - I removed the tape and as you can see, the wires are just "there."
I do have a Clymer & Haynes book and am "fair" at reading the schematics. I do know Lew posted a nice color image of the /5 unfused and a B&W of the fused version - mine is fused - the black & white version is tougher to read.
While I'm at it, The Gen light is orange? and the oil pressure light is red?
Thanks much! Oh, the horn wasn't working when I picked up the bike - on the starter button side, the turn signal wire had been soldered a couple times and we saw the wire hanging with a big glob of solder - decided to invest in new switch/harnesses.
