Just to let everybody know, I'm kind of a newb when it comes to electrical. So last night I was looking at my bikes wiring harness and got my head spinning over how much crap is there. A lot of the wires you couldn't actually tell what color it really was. Without putting too much thought in it I ripped it all out. Might of been a bad thing but too late now. So now I am wanting to completly rewire it as simple as possible. I'm not running turn signals. It is an 82 that is going to have a pamco, PMA, and a capacitor. Some of the questions I have are, would it be safe to cut down the old harness and reuse? If I got new wire, would it be ok to use 12g wire all the way around? Also would it be ok to use quick connections every place possible? Any info would be appreciated.
