1978 K8 left side wire connector pictures
« on: October 14, 2022, 12:06:44 PM »
Got it figured out.  Thanks all.

I need a good picture of the electric harness connectors under the left side cover of the 77/78 K7/K8 and how the connectors are held in the holders(if they do) on a stock bike. It's totally different than the K6 and earlier I have.
I need to put mine back in place but the larger connectors, two 8 pin)don't fit in the holder like the 4 pin connector does. I haven't found any pictures doing searches or in the 3 different service manuals I have(Honda, Clymer, 77 and 78 series and Mark's book...)
Thanks much.
