Default rewiring a bike

Has anyone rebuilt a wiring harness using the stock electronics? I need to find a supplier to get specific pins from.

Order up a catalog from Digi-Key.

It's 2300 pages. Roughly 400 pages of connectors.

sweet, I'll take a look. Eastern Beaver has some of the pins I'm gonna need, but not the yazaki pins for the ECU.

200' of 22awg, 20' of 16awg, and a dymo label maker with a heat shrink cartridge. And the shop manual for my bike with the schematic and the stock wiring harness. I'm a mechanic on military aircraft and I've had dreams about running miles of wire.
