"the runner" resurrection (pic heavy)

this is my 1980 yamaha xj650 i call her "the runner" hoping to turn her in to a bobber. never touched a bike in my life been fixing cars for a while thought i take on this project. so if i labeled anything wrong please teach me and let me know.
The day i got her

Deconstruction begins remove the whole wiring harness

got rid of all the lights and signals to make my own

this is the connector for the clutch lever i think

dont know what this is

got the ignition

wiring for start button and kill switch

got rid of the speed cable and the signal and lights wires

looks much better

got rid of the air intake box because it was broken, plan to get some cheap little intake for them later.

the wires for the alternator

Dont know what this is called but i think the connected to the starter button

pick up coils


can some one tell me what these two wires are for?

was gonna go without tech and speedo but decide to leave it there for now

rusty

what is this and that?



is there oil in there?

the front break lever seems to be broken

end result so far

and my baby the 4runner/tool storage

 

Woooo!!! wrong bolt on the header lol.

Anywho, motorcycles are referred to as "her" right?

 

lol didnt know that altho i did name my 4runner "fat mama"

 

I could be wrong. But something about riding "him" could seem a bit .... off?

lol

Call it what you like, its yours. Its fun to poke fun at others every once in awhile.

What are your plans for the bike?

 

yeah now that i think about it lol im plaing on bob the crap outta this bike pretty much just engine trans lights and thats it, no speedo no tach no paint, i think im going to wire brush the whole bike and clear paint it to give it a metal look

Based on some of your questions with the photos you need a manual.

Good luck on your project.

 

i got a haynes version on my compute, but im trying to make the simplest wiring diagram i just wanna make it a runner nothing fancy.

 

search here for "minimal wiring" I saw a diagram before.

I was more concerned about your questions on the diff's fill hole and vent and the oil fill cap.

 

i kinda already knew what it was but i wasnt sure.
