Welcome!
Would you be opposed to buying a new harness for it? You can get them at PartsNmore.com.
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

Nah I'm good ...I think lol. I'm setting up to do a minimalist wire harness I got the headlight and horn figured out. And I have the old butchered up harness and I understand where the points and ignition wires go.

The frame looks like a custom frame,made from a stock frame;I imagine it still has the stock steering head with VIN#.
