hey guys, I got a 82' xs650sj and I'm about to start on my bike project. i want to bob it with the weld on hard tail from TC bros and completely rebuild the bike, and the one thing that has me pretty nervous is the wireing harness. is it best to make my own or world a stock harness from mikesxs.com work?

i posted in electrical already, but thought i'd post in the bobber section also.

thanks guys, i was looking around for other ideas and saw that barely any of the choppers or bobbers have the turn signals or the other stuff. just the head/tail light, charging system, and the ignition. it seems great because simple is better. but isn't riding without the turn signals and other components illegal?
