Default wiring harness hell

so beginning my chassis harness strip down and work. seems like a simple idea right? not really. I am eliminating every unneeded/ unwanted circuit, but wait there's more.... I also have to manage integrating a TBI ECU into the whole mix, thankfully I have just about every wire out and the interior is stripped down to almost nothing.

...then lengthen/reroute/add what was needed. Amazing how much wire was on such a basic bike.
Check three times, mark twice, then proceede.

it is a total nightmare... I have spent maybe 3 hours just trying to ohm out specific circuits and deleting unneeded stuff. next will be soldering the chassis harness back together after layout. deleting all the quick connects and looming everything. just might say to hell with it and ordering a howell efi harness
