Getting closer to trying to start her… maybe next weekend?!?!? Need a battery as well but will probably just take the one out of the 1990 Sportster for now. Still need to pick up plugs, plug wires, oil filter, and the fluids. Ordered the Dynatek S Ignition System this weekend and it should be here later this week. Tested the different key positions, ignition and lights. Put a meter across everything to make sure the is connectivity where there should be. Little bit of a rats nest, but I should be able to tuck it all in there nice – out of sight, out of mind. The 30 amp breaker between the battery and ignition key is on the left, the two center breakers are the 15 amp breakers for the ignition coil, indicator lights, and brake lights, the right breaker is the 15 amp breaker for the tail running light and the head light. Got the circuit breakers all wired up as well.

Just for my future reference here is the pin-out of the front wiring connector. I picked up a few 6-pin connectors to wire in the stuff going to the front (headlight, oil and neutral light, brake switch) and I have some 3-pin connectors for the stuff going to the rear (tail light – brake and running) just to make it easier to disconnect if I need to remove things. I think this is going to look great once I polish the side cover up. Mounted the key switch and start button in the side cover I made. If you understand wiring in general, you should be able to modify it accordingly. So if you find a diagram that is close to your year/make/model, it is probably a good starting point. The fundamental principles of wiring are generally the same from motorcycle to motorcycle.

No gauges planned at this time, but if I add a speedometer in the future and need a light for it I can just tap off positive feed from the oil or neutral light. Links to Free Wiring Diagrams: Something to keep in mind. Not sure I need all those circuit breakers, but that is how it is set up stock – not trying to change the world, just trying to make it work. Only wires on the bars are for the front break switch. It’s pretty close to the stock wiring, just simplified a little with all the stuff that is not there yanked out. I spent a little time redrawing the wiring diagram on the computer so I would have a cleaner wiring diagram for future reference. I think I have decided not to use a kill switch (just going to use the key switch), I may change my mind on this, if I do decide to add a kill switch it will go between the 15 amp circuit breaker and the coil. Not totally minimal, but not very complex either. Here is a quick doodle I did on the garage whiteboard planning out my wiring diagram plan for the project. Added a keyed switch and start button to the aluminum side cover I made last weekend. Planned every thing out and got most of it wired up including all the switches and breakers. Worked on wiring up the 1988 Sportster Project this weekend.
