Topic: best place to start for a wiring harness and other electrical questions!

[ncstatecamp]

first off Im not the greatest with electrical but I will be having a buddy who is helping me. I am about to start buildling a wiring harness for my 750k2. I have 3 harnesses (unknown years), 2 fully wrapped and 1 that is stripped to individual wires and plugs. I would like to build a harness that is fairly stripped down. I want no starter safety motor thing, and no turn signal, but would like dummy lights an auxiliary power line, and a complete kill switch for lights. My question is where is the best place to start. So far I have all the components (regulator, point, rectifier etc) on the bike, connectors cleaned. I've been looking at http://oldmanhonda.com/MC/wiring750K1.html and http://images.tribe.net/tribe/upload/photo/ebe/35d/ebe35d7e-4315-4baa-adcf-c76d8fa79b80

So where/what component/section string is the easiest to start at and go to?
Should I use electrical grease on connectors?
I found out I have 3 ohm coils which from what I read arent the greatest b.c they will burn out points or something. Can I compensate with Hondamans resistor pack or I read something about dynas running with 3ohms?
this may be a stupid question, but some of my parts (tail light, righthand controls) are aftermarket to test things and figure out which wire is what can I hook them straight up to the battery or without a load spread out will this blow bulbs or something. As I said not the most electrically knowledgeable.

Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Also on the wiring diagrams like this, http://schematicwiring.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Honda-CB750K2-wiring-diagram.jpg what are the T offs/dots on the lines? and the pink H's/thick black bars on the oldhondaman's website/the pic here?

I don't see any pink stuff. The thick blacks are connectors. Dots on the lines?  Do you mean like the green/yellow from the tail light? This is a green wire with a yellow tracer.

dots and pink H's on here http://oldmanhonda.com/MC/wiring750K1.html

Same answer mate.  Dots on the lines indicate wire colours, pink connectors.

so the pink H's and colored dots are both connectors?

[LesterPiglet]

I think we are confused.
If you look at the tail light it has a green wire with yellow dots. This indicates a green wire with a yellow tracer.
Or if you mean the circles where the wire heads off to another component, these are hard connections.

if you look on here http://oldmanhonda.com/MC/wiring750K1.html the pink H's are connectors I've got that. But what are the dots on the lines (blk, grn, solid red)
