        If you want OEM-style plugs and terminations, you can get them here:

        You do need the 'special' crimper for these to get the crimp right.
        Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

          Nightengale, you asked what electrical could be removed from the bike, the basic wiring diagrams I have done (and linked to) show what is required for basic electrics chop to run. The chop diagram has twin headlights coz the customer asked for them, I advised against running twin 55/60W bulbs, simply remove them from the diagram.
          do you still have that diagram in full size that you might be able to send me?

              thanks for the help, i have a friend that specializes in building wiring harness to help this weekend, and i am going to use your diagram and it will have a single headlight.
