Motorcycle Repair: ignition switch wiring diagram, wire colors, bill silver


Question
Bill, I needed to replace my key for a 1968 CL77 and the locksmith said that I needed to bring the ignition switch in along with my "mangled" key so he could make a duplicate.  I thought I labeled and wired together the wires that went together, but somehow I messed up.  Can you show me the wiring diagram for the ignition switch please so I can ride my bike again?
Thank you,
Dave

Answer
Dave, you can use the CL72 diagram on this site for wiring diagram references...
