    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I want to remove everything that isn't essential. I want it dedicated kick-start, simplest ignition possible, so forth and so on. Where to begin?

Also, I'm going to have to conjure up a new wiring harness. I still have most of the gadgetry that came on the bike but the stock harness was all hacked up. Which is fine becuase I would like to rewire everything to different locations anyway. Is there a wiring diagram online that I can hit?

This would be a 1979 GS750E, by the way.
 
The simplest ignition is the original points type if you are comfortable working with it.
It would be immune to any voltage spike or whatever from using a simplified charging system. A very tiny battery would be fine with no electronic ignition and no starter.
 
This bike was converted to a dyna system...I no longer have the stock parts and I no longer have the coils. What all would I need to get to convert back to an original ignition system?

I have seen several posts asking for simplified wiring diagrams, I think posplayer came up with a winning diagram.
I believe the operating words of the forum are "do a search".

If you want to remove everything that is not essential, don't forget the nut that connects the handlebars to the seat.

I have also heard that Kehin carbs work better. You have any of those lying around?
 
No need to change the coils. Install a 2 ohm ballast resistor in the 12V line to coils..
 
This a nice simple wiring diagram. Its one of the ones Im using on my chopper project.

If you're looking for simple, why bother with the battery at all??? Do away with the battery AND the charging system...
 
I got this one here , I just wish I understood electrics. It's my next project, simplify the electrical system.
