Default 1979 FL electrical wiring diagram colorized

Hey Fellas,
I'm getting ready to work on the wiring harness of my bike, a 1979 FL (I'll be modifying my bike to utilize twin cam era hand controls). I have the service manual diagram, but my eyes start to blur over trying to trace the wires.

I exported the diagram and overlaid the actual color of the wires. I also made a diagram to help me keep straight the wiring on the terminal block:

Maybe this will be helpful to somebody else.

Heres a 1980-1982 FXE wiring diagram that I downloaded off a Facebook group.

I just did a drag-n-drop into my iphotos. It allows me to share them.

If you like send me your email and I will get them to you.

Thanks for posting this FLshovelhead. I am trying to sort out wiring issues on a '79 FLH that I just bought and this will be really helpful. I have the service manual but the print is so small that I need a magnifier to be able to read it.
