I don't have a key. I'm going to order a new ignition/key set from ebay, but the bike is ready to go as of tomorrow, and I can't wait!
Do you guys know what wires I need to connect to make it run?
Thanks!
Will post some videos when it's running!
 
just put a toggle switch in place of the key switch or make a jumper wire with the proper connectors and put that in place of the key switch.

Yes, thank you Jean.
What wires though? I see there are a few, should I have to split the key case open to see what wires make connections? I would just cut the wires right where they enter the case and connect them...
Which wires do I jump/or put the toggle?
Thanks!
 
hot wire

on '72 - '73 pull brown with blue stripe and white wires from the ignition switch and connect them. If your ignition warning light still works it should light up. Original coils had double spade connectors. One of these would make a good jumper for the two wire connectors.
