Ron,

You're Welcome.  I know that electrical schematics can be difficult to understand for some.
Glad the diagram I attached helped out. 

Charlie
PS:  I also have a diagram more specific to the K1-K4 models if you want or need it.  :)

Could you please post the schematic for the k1-4.  The one you posted is great.
Thanks,

Indulge my ignorance. Is there a common hot wire for both coils. Or if you snip one, won't the other still fire?
The coils are both fed by one wire that splits off to both coils

Wouldn't happen to have a drawing like that for a 750K8 to post?

Airborne,

I just looked at the K8 wiring diagram and it looks like very little changed
According to this schematic http://manuals.sohc4.net/cb750k/technical_reference/WD750K8.jpg
The wire colors for  what you need to tap into look to be the same as the K6 diagram I originally posted further up in this thread.

If you're going to do the relay mods, you should probably pop the headlight and look inside the shell and verify wire colors. 
The 2 headlight relays, the Off-Run-Off relay, the Start button relay, and the horn relay all will go in there. 
The only relay that goes somewhere else is the ignition Switch relay which goes under the left side cover near the rest of the electrical stuff.

Hope this helps.

Charlie

This is why you need a DMS on a track bike

WOW! I'm surprised they don't require it. Those bikes run alcohol I think.

MCRider,

The Black/White wire from the existing Off-Run-Off (Kill) switch is what you want to interrupt.
WHen I put in my Hondaman Relay Mods, this is one of the mods I did to put in the Off-Run-Off relay.
If you look at the diagram I've attached, look at the Off-RUn-Off relay.  You don't need any of the relay wires, you just need to look at the Black/White wire from the existing Kill (Off-RUn-Off) switch to the coils.

I hope this helps sort it out.  If not, just ask.

Charlie
Perfect. The BW wire in the shell has a male/female connector. I just pulled that apart, plugged in the deadman switch, after crimping on a male and female, and was in business. I knew it was simple, I was just stuck in my head. Thanks Charlie.
