Tips on cleaning up electrical?

Hey all,
Any tips on cleaning up the wiring on these bikes? Installing a PKW carb and air box mod, trying to figure out what I can cut out.

There isn't much you can get rid of unfortunately. A lot of it is pretty minimal already.ive got ride of a scant few, but it's due to me getting rid of a few things (license plate lights, kick stand switch, etc) you can rewire it a bit to clean it up and hide some wires?

What's your intent?
There are some examples in the tech section...

Looking at the photo, it appears that someone has been in there performing a little hackery. It’s nothing that a roll of electrical tape and zip ties couldn’t fix.

If you really want to clean it up, go with a MotoGadget M-Unit and M-Button. Not cheap or fast, but it really cleans things up. Coming beck from the front of the bike is just a single green wire. Fuses and relays are incorporated into the box. Took me a while to get it all sorted out, but it is very tidy.

I've been thinking about using that system for my TS-Z400 Street Tracker. I have a mess of wires coming from the front of the bike down through/under the fuel tank. The OEM wire harness is bad enough, but the wiring harness for the Acewell indicator is even worse. It's the one thing I'd improve on that custom build.
Maybe next winter I'll tear that bike down once again to powder coat the frame, and on reassembly wire it up with an M-unit. This winter I have my hands full with an '81 CB900 rebuild.

Armen,
That looks really good man, I need to check that out, by the way the spacer should be here tomorrow. It’s supposed to rain this weekend so, back to her coming off! I already have my bearing…
Nice bike Gary!
