Hi Paul, frame number 700/s/43, engine number 700/s/45. I have 3 Silk wiring diagrams, none of which match my bike, so have labelled and traced out all the wiring. Looks like the wiring has been got at, at least three types of bullet connecters and four off them came of when trying to disconnect them, think I might change to the Japanese style bullets. Always thought Silk switchgear was Suzuki but when I removed mine it is Kawasaki! Also found the instrument binnacle has had a knock which has bent the support legs and distorted the housing making the speedo difficult to remove. The metal plate supporting the coils  has the front right corner cracked off and two large fracture cracks the around the front right corner, is this normal? Always seems like a bad idea to start pulling old bikes apart. Thanks for the offer of help with parts, what might you have?
regards David.
