[blackedoutcoupe]

gah im gonna pull my hair out i cant figure out where the wires go on the front of my bike i ditched all signals ive looked at every diagram on the net even bought one just not to even understand! does anyone have any pics i could go by using like the switch plus push button ...

i have a connector up front that has the following wires going in black with red stripe,black with white stripe and, yellow with red stripe also have 1 black going in and 1 coming out in same hole on the other side of the connector is a jumper.

also have a blue with red stripe and i have no clue where it goes?

Posting what bike/year/model might get you better help.

+1 what Bob said.

Also, check the FAQ section.  The electrical FAQ has a general color code which can tell you what the wire does.

Haha I'm sorry guys its got me a lil stressed out! I have a 1978 honda cb 750 it ran before I tore into the they key ignition was messed up and spliced together but it did run I'd say ill have to get someone to do it. I'm a great at welding and making stuff but I'm like lost when it comes to understanding wiring I just don't seem to understand diagrams to good I'm a pic guy I guess

take it all back apart... and meticiously find the match, they all have em... the only ones that shouldnt have one should be a light blue and a light orange

i am dreading this also but as i have found on this great forum is that there are various diagrams to help.....good luck with your and do a search for wiring diagrams and like stated before on the home page in the faq section there are a few diagrams

good luck

when ive done it ( at least 10 times) i straightened out everything  and hooked them up very neatly the first time is always confusing and intimidating but its not too bad after you do it a couple times

i dont know if this will help but here is a pretty neat wiring diagram.

i dont know what else i can delete? all turn signals is gone is there a way to ditch that cheap looking fuse box thats mounted under the seat. and i have all wires in the proper location except the ones to the push start button and key igniton i cant find those as there is no color matching wires?

yes ive seen these but looking at this it looks like ill have to remove even more wires because this isnt showing the fuse box

[the technological J]

the fuse box is ignition, lights and starter

Not to hijack this thread but what are those two wires for? They seem to run halfway back into the loom and just end without purpose.
Thanks in advance.

Depending on model and year, those wires are either forward running lights or, for models with forward turn signals only, are unused.  It's quite common for one harness to be fitted to several models.  This then leads to unused wires.  Case in point is the dangling green wire next to the two-prong winker relay.

weird i posted something similair a few minutes ago and it must not have stuck... they should run thru the switch and to the blinkerthey are hot and the switch directs the current from the light to the blinker and ultimatley ground

I think J is right, solid light blue and solid orange are turn signal.  The light blue and orange with the white tracer are running lights which should run from the bulb to the turn signal switch on the left grip.

[the technological J]

um thats opposite and the same as what is said but those are the wires that are dedicated to the turn signals and running lights
