Need advice on wiring kits

I need to install all new wiring on a '77 GS750. Here is a list of what it'll have:

-Electric start
-Headlight (Switching to LED in the future that uses a standard H4 connector)
-LED tail/brake light with integrated turn signals
-Mini Tach with LED backlight
-Mini Speedo with LED backlight (has status lights built in that you can see in the picture I attached)
-Possible horn
-Would like an aux port

I was going to originally do the wiring myself. However, since my bike is currently being stored at my brother-in-law's house, I only have a short amount of time to install it when I go visit. Hence, why I'm looking for ready-to-install kits. So far I've found two places that make them.

http://www.ultimaproducts.com/ - They're not real good at communicating with the customer

http://www.centechwire.com/Motorcycles_c15.htm - Their kit runs $199


Most of what I've found in the forums has been DIY. Is anybody familiar with any other companies that make kits or have experience with something like that?

Thanks in advance.
 
There is a 550 bobber thread where I posted a stripped down most basic schematic. I also make a solid state power box that would work very well especially since you are going from scratch. The SSPB is linked in my signature.

You should also definitely get a series r/r like sh775. See GS Stato in my signature also.
 
Depending on what model you have, MRCycles in Asheville NC can get you the factory harness for 165.00 for C & EC models. OEM harness not available for B, E & EN according to their pages. I'm sure you'd have to mod the harness a bit though, and would have some unused circuits, obviously.

Actually, since you are starting from scratch, would it matter if they didn't have your exact model's harness? All the harnesses shown for a '77 750 look kind of minimal (at least compared to my 1100E's) :)

MRcycles is the least expensive OEM parts supplier I have found, and since they are only 4 hours away from me, the shipping is pretty cheap.

It wouldn't really matter if they have my exact model. The reason I wanted to buy a new kit is because the harness it had was way beyond repair and I like having something that's tough and reliable using new components. Have you ordered from them before? Do you know what kind of condition the harnesses are in?

Yea, unfortunately I'd need a ready to install kit as my build time will be rather short.

Deckard, it is brand new stuff. :) Factory Suzuki parts. I have ordered all my factory stuff from them...rotor nut, all sorts of grommets, the main harness, bearings, etc. Suzuki still makes the side panels for my 1100EZ, so I'll be getting a set of those as well.

MR Cycles has a great reputation as far as I know. I have ordered from them several times and have always had a good experience.

Whoa. I didn't know it was new. That would potentially save me some money. I think all I would need would be a resistor for the LED turn signals. It's interesting that a company would still sell new stuff like that. It's usually refurbished or super expensive. Thanks for the tip!
 
They aren't the only ones....it amazes me that Suzuki still makes much of the stuff any more. I can get lots of stuff, but not all.

You can get the oem parts from several online dealers who buy from Suzuki, but MRCycles has the best prices. My harness was most certainly not refurbished.
 
At the moment, no. All the oem electrics are yanked out to be replaced. I'll get a pic of the new harness so you can get an idea of the conditionof what you'll get. I am going to do a couple minor mods to the harness to cut out unnecessary loops, & will be installing a relay for the initon & the coils.

So in total, my work includes:

SH775 Series R/R
Rick's Motorsport Electrics stator
New OEM Suzuki main wiring harness
Dyna S ignition
Dyna 3 ohm green coils, wires and caps.
New battery cables. (Cables that were on the bike were the originals)

Also, bit of rubber is getting replaced...isolation mounts for battery box & mounting plate for R/R, etc. New fuel tank mounts, & every grommet I can find...
When I start the install, I'll post up photos here.
