Wiring loom is about 95% finished.
I bought all new connectors from Jaycar (an electrical supply shop here in aussie land).
Got some 4, 3,2 and 6 connectors. the 6 and 4 plugs fit the Ignitor box just fine. The fusebox takes an 8 plug connector, and i can get 8 plug ones anywhere so I'll have to re-use what I got.
On top of this, I've removed all the factory connectors that go to the Ignition barrel (removed redundant wires, ignition barrel is now only a 2 plug connector (Ignition & Battery)
I've added 3 plug for the Stator, female connector hardwired to the bike, and the male connector which plugs in and goes to the R/R.
I've made a new plug for the ignition coils. and I'm reusing the second plug that goes to the AC signal generator as it was in good condition.
I have brand new earth cables, and I have wired an earth along the bike frame so I can pigtail accessories off as they become available (lights, indicators etc etc).
I did a quick trial run after the loom was finished, and the only issue I had was that I confused my Kill switch and start button, was an easy fix, just switched the prongs in the plugs over and Viola.!!
Before firing her up, I tested every point with a multimeter, testing that the relay worked when open, or when part of it was closed. All seemed ok.
WHen i went to fire her up, she didn't fire up. Was scratching my head for about 2 hours testing everything. All looked good. Till i touched the mounting bracket of the Starter relay. Gave me a very strange reading. Didn't look like it was earthed properly. I think there was some corrosion where it bolts into the mount...So i ran a temporary earth directly from the battery to the starter really.
Pushed start...and away she went...
I basically followed PosPlayer's diagram exactly. And it works spot on.
Only issue I have now is that I'm really not happy with my fusebox. Some of the fuses dont go in properly and it looks garbage.
So today i bought a new fuse box, and i will replace it...I'll also run the remaining wires for accessories, for when they arrive to make life easy.

New Goodies...
Finished Loom...95%
New vs Old connectors.
New Plug for the Ignitor.
One question I do have. How do I earth my new fusebox?...The old one had an earth point. This one doesn't seem to have one.
