hey everyone i am doin a full bob on a 79 xs650 special and i am trying to do the wiring and i am pulling my hair out. i was just wondering what i need to save and what i need to get rid of as far as for the brakes(reserve lighting unit) and head light and the simplest way to wire it . i am going to run a universal key set up with a push button starter right next to it. i am going as simple as possible on this bike. on my coils the diagram says gray and orange and i happen to have a black and orange . just wondering if that makes any difference. and the easiest way to wire the coils in as well...
i know i need to keep my rectifier and voltage regulator and was wondering what else i need.

i am eliminating...
-turn signals
-high low beam switch
-spedo and tach
 
You don't need need the reserve lighting unit, light checker, flasher canceling unit, and the safety relay you can ditch but just make sure you don't hit the starter when the engine is running. Not sure about the coils though.
 
It should be a dual filament bulb. Wire the tailight into the headlight so its always when the headlights on, and to the brake switches so it gets brighter when you hit the stoppers. Do a google search and I bet you can find a stripped down wiring diagram for the xs. There may even be one floating around here. Lets see some pics of this bike too!
