Charging System Problems + Rewiring questions

[endwrench]

Bike isn't charging. Multimeter reads 0 voltage change at every RPM, so I know nothing is happening. In my efforts to deal with this I have replaced: rotor, R/R, and stator with brand new parts, so everything there is good. I figured it must be a wiring thing since the main components are brand new, so I pulled out the wiring harness and have been combing through it. I haven't found anything in particular besides rotten connectors which could possibly be the problem I suppose. Could it be the starter solenoid? The connection there was especially bad.

Anyone know a good place to buy connectors and wire? I think I am just going to make a new harness.

   Was prob. on mine(worked great for months,just good cleaning))Had to change connections(contacts Male & Fem.)Missed one and made all the diff.,I have orderd parts to make up thoughs harnesses,But stoped have to good used ones.C B 750 Supply http://www.cb750supply.com/products/5/electrical/64/wire-terminals-couplers
works best for me wih this.Get the others also best to change them all and its cheaper on shipping all at once of course.
    Have you ever taken these out(contacts out of terminals) before ?

I've been reading through Motorcycle Electrical Systems Troubleshooting and Repair", ISBN 978-0-7603-2716-6.  Fantastic book, which explains how to troubleshoot electrical systems, to avoid spending money on replacing parts that are not at fault.  Surprisingly, quite often the issue is a bad connection, or wire.  He explains it all quite well.

One caveat:  I was trained as an Electronic Technician, having worked as a component level repair technician for over three years.  I skipped most of his explanation of how electricity works, but I skimmed it:  rather a good, simple, understandable explanation.  I would highly recommend this book.  He shows how to check for voltage drops with a basic, $20, Digital Volt Meter.  A high current amp probe is recommended, but it is not always needed.  Best of luck.  Cheers!
