Wire harness question
Attached a few pics, repairing bike, bought a used wiring harness and spliced with old, which ripped wires apart. Got it back together (I think), but have 2 male plugs that I am not sure where they match up with females. The 12 pin connectors.
On one or two of the pics you can see wires not in a connector, I'm guessing that was a male as well, and that plugs into the headlight (it comes from the handlebars) But I could be wrong. Maybe it is also a female, which then would be easier to find mates for both those males (the one coming from handlebars + the one on the headlight) However, the headlight wires don't match the colors of any of the other plugs
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot

Re: Wire harness question
Without getting off my *** to go look at my bike (still in my boxers 
)
One of them grey plugs, plugs into the highbeam/lowbeam switch on your left handlebar, the one that is cut and has all the wires dangling. Personally I would purchase a new switch, and NOT cut your main harness!
And the other one, I BELIEVE goes to a 'mini harness' that contains the wires for your headlights, turn signals, and tip over sensor.
By the way, your tip over sensor has a red white and green wire going into it. Cut it, and solder the red and green wire together, and tape off the white wire alone.
Btw i'l check my bike for ya in like 30 after I shower
edit: btw both them grey plugs I believe are exactly the same. So you can get them backwords and hook the wrong one up to the wrong thing. But I am 99% sure one is for the left handle bar controls, and the other is for the headlight/signal/tip sensor wires.

Re: Wire harness question
One or two of the wires are different on the two gray connectors, could it possibly still not matter? Also, the female connector on the left controls got shattered in the wreck, any ideas where to get a new one?
