So, I bought a set (Right and Left) EMGO Universal Handlebar Switches from the great folks at Cognito Moto for a project. I was not able to find any kind of wiring diagram for them. So, out of frustration I sat down and figured it out on my own and figured I'd share my findings. Hopefully, it will be useful to someone.

Here are the switches I'm referring to:

RIGHT SWITCH

Blue Wire w/bullet connector - Energized by Keyed Ignition Switch. Pig tailed to Red Wire. Connects to Blue Wire w/socket connector supplies power for starter.
Blue Wire w/socket connector - Energized by Blue Wire w/bullet connector supplies power for starter.
Black Wire - Energizes by Starter Button via the Blue Wire w/socket connector. Connects to starter relay.
Tan Wire - Energized by the Off, PO, On switch. Controls the Off, Run, Off switch. Energizes the Yellow/Red Wire.
Yellow/Red Wire - Energized by the Off, Run, Off, Run switch.

Have these on my "want to buy" list. Didn't realize they don't include a wiring diagram, nice work! Bookmarked for future referance.

Thank you for doing this.
 
Another thank you!

What did you use the pass wire for? On my 92 CB750, we don't have a button for that. Did you just wire it into your headlight somehow? Right now it does nothing, but would be nice for it to.
 
I see that on the links, the wire colors are listed. Maybe that's a recent update to Cognito's site.
