Does anybody know what the gage of wire is for the turn signals and headlamp are on a cb750? 

Thanks in advance,

Not exactly. Japanese wire is measured in sq mm of conductor, we use "wire gage" sizing. I don't know what the actual metric wire size is, but AWG 18 is very close.

Thanks Bodi.  I rewired my handlebar controls with longer wire because I put higher rise and pull back bars on.  I was concerned that the wire looked very thin and amperage  loads would be a problem.  Wire diameter is the same as stock but just looked thin from what I usually see. 

Thanks,
