Default 1985 Tour glide electrical

Hello all, I'm working on a 85 tourglide and need a good wiring diagram, I purchased a downloadable manual for the bike and it was a waste of $$. the diagrams sucked, no wire colors, my kid could have done a better job. does anyone have anything? The wiring was hacked about 20 times, a real mess, molex connectors melted together, burnt connections, spliced, broken you name it. I've got everything golden except the turn signal circuits, any help would be cool.
Thanx
Dman

You can simply do what we do when we need a wiring diagram for our bikes, buy a service manual...

...in other words a real book printed and sold by H-D. Be aware that the wiring diagrams for older bikes (including my 1990 bike) are actually black and white, not in colour, but annotated with codes for the colours.
