here is the source for all of your conectors and shrink tube for the loom
and the source for the correct color wire

I purchased this bike with all good thoughts of riding, the price was right, SSD with all the stuff (repainted red body and frame) but what a nightmare on the wiring
so far to date I have seen; twisted and taped splices, romax white and black core wires patched in, speaker wire patched in, and a fuse box that was bypassed to run the bike
I took a wiring diagram and sent the Jpeg to an civil engineer with a plotter to make 3 copies (important)
first copy I color traced out the loom using the kids vast collection of markers - great visual to hang on the wall as a starting point
second copy was used to ensure the wires were properly replaced and third copy is being used to make my wiring digram with my colors.

parts and colors used so far
Molex .093 conectors for all needed areas and quick disconected the fuse box
18 gauge plastic wire 16' l and true battery cable
Spiral tracers when applicable easier to see

seeing this done in a smart order next time will be a breeze
