You can get adhesive electricians number tags at lowes or any electrical supply house comes in handy there.

you might have to unwind somew more of your harness and hopefully there will be the stock wires further down.it appears to be just in your headlight bucket. or just unwind al of it and start from scratch if you have children or wife/girlfriend it would be good bonding time have them hold one end while you rewrap the loom with electrical tape.motorcycle wiring is very easy.

yeah cut back the tape a ways and you should find the color.
