I need help with my 82 1100G headlight and ground wiring!

[Guest]

So, upon inspection during my rebuild I noticed a couple of problems with the harness. The first is the ground wire for the starter solenoid which is fried, thankfully it doesn't go all the way up the harness, just a few inches...is it easy to replace with another wire if I cut it short and wrap a new one? And also my headlight plug looks like its taken a beating...are these replaceable?

Your problems were caused by bad connections. Yes the headlight plug is replaceable, just post in parts wanted. When you do your splice, be sure to soldier the connections and use heat shrink tube to seal it.
You should now go through and check every connections that you have.

You need to chemically clean all of those connections (like Naval Jelly) and then treat with something like DeOxit. You also need to do the recommended grounding at your R/R.

You can also find replacement headlight connectors at places like Auto Zone.

The wire colors might not match, but match them up by location and you will be fine.

If someone was to do a writeup on Electrical Connection Health, these pictures would be great for "What Not to Let go".
