CB750F headlight safety relay?

DogBunny
Working on a 1976 CB750F for a friend, kick and electric start.  I am sorting out the headlight bucket, which is a mess.  Is there a relay that prevents the headlight from coming on until the engine starts?

Also, I have looked at a few wiring diagrams, but not sure which one I should be using for a 1976 F.  
Thanks in advance.

The headlight is wired through the starter button. It is wired so that when the starter button is pressed, the headlight is turned off. This way all the battery power will be available for the starter motor. Other then that the headlight should be on all the time. As for a wiring diagram, you need one for a 76 F model. However the one for the 76 K model will be pretty close.

Thank you!
I finally found a color diagram for a 1976:

It says K6.  It clearly shows the starter button headlight cut-out.
