Default Ultima ignition hookup

Trying to figure out how to hook up my ignition on my 98 road glide. I bought it as a basket case and the previous owner started to put an ultima ignition kit in and and never did any of the wiring. All of the plugs on the bike have been unplugged and I have found the pink and the green wire but can’t locate any of the other ones. Any help would be much appreciated and pics would help also.

you should have a w/b wire that connects to one side of the ignition coil that comes from the ign kill on the handle bar. this wire connects to the ultima white wire. then you connect the ultima pink to the other side of the coil. this is for dual fire.
if you are using single fire, the w/b and ultima white connects to the coil center terminal and ultima blue goes to front cyl and the pink to the rear.
you can access this w/b wire at the oem ign module plug.

A few years ago there was a member here who sold and setup Ultima ignitions. Is he still around? I bought one from him for my Shovel. He programmed it for Kick Start and Single Fire. I don't the remember if it had an adjustable curve or not. I have been thinking about getting a spare.
