Ive been working on this for 3 days and I'm down to this. This was all apart when I got it. In the headlite bucket Ive got a red/blue male, a yellow/green male & female together in a plastic loom from clutch safety switch {I think they go together but the starter works with them apart}, a hot orange/green female, a hot brown female, a black/white female, white/black & orange male that are together in a plastic loom from the front brake lite switch {I think}. I'm a journeyman lineman but this stuff kicks my butt. Any help with what goes with what would be greatly appreciated
 
The colors in it don't match up to my factory black & white service manual. It also has 2 wire turn signals where as the bike and factory manual have 3. Ive beaten my head on the desk trying to figure this out. I have everything I think but a front brake lite. Ill just blow fuses until I hit it I guess. Thanks though

I think a plug or 2 may be unused to complicate things. I don't have a bucket on the ES, but suspect it's similar. I'll take a look. My starter interlock is disabled also, but I don't recall how I did it by now.
 
Seems that the ES is different. Both wire sets leaving the handlebar controls go under the tank, and I just have turn signals and the fat wireset to the gauge cluster under the fairing. Plus 2 single factory unused wires- a black and a brown.
 
Got it, the orange wire from the front headlite switch goes to the hot orange/green and the white black goes to the red/blue. Front brake now lites in tail light when front brake lever is pulled in. The 2 yellow/green wires from the clutch safety switch go together bypassing it. That leaves a spare hot brown female, a black male and a black/white mail unused until I see if something else doesn't work. Thanks for the help Dorkburger your tip put on an idea to look at the wiring from all the switches in the manual that helped me figure it out. Ill be the first to tell you I'm not very good at this wiring. Thanks again
