1981 KZ550 Wiring Harness route.

Tis i a funny one. Well, I ripped an old 550 to the bone and have been restoring the whole thing. I must say, it's going great thus far, but in my excitement, I am scratching my head trying to remember the route of the wiring harness. Can anyone look or recall and give me a pic or road map for dummies. I should have video recorded the whole thing, but that would have been way too logical. I can't recall if it rides down the left or right frame rail. Thanks for any help you guys can offer. The service manual explains a lot, but not many pictures.

On mine the main harness and the push throttle cable runs down the rights side of the frame backbone. But on the left is the pull throttle cable as well as some wires to the left hand controls.



Ive found this very helpful.

Great, that's what I needed. I couldn't recall if it went on the left or right, but that helped clear it up.
