It is a 1970 Super 150. I am piecing back together someone else's disassembly.

Question is what is the hole by the speedometer for?

Same for the ones on the inside neck close to the floor?

This group is amazing and helpful.

Hole by speedo is Indo Key mount or Thai Light hole

Wiring. Some guesswork here
The 74 Super wiring is VERY different.

Purple - high beam for sure
Brown - low beam for sure
Black - headlight ground for sure. Eyelet under high-beam/running indicator light*
Pink - running headlight you don't have. Tape that**.
Dark blue(missing connector) - speedo light
Light blue idk, maybe for the new speedo(?)

*You don't have wiring there for that light as a high beam indicator. On some of these bikes it was originally a running indicator, but if you want you can make it a high beam indicator by piggybacking off the purple connector.
**Or use that to make it a running indicator.

I appreciate it. This will provide a great starting point. Thanks again.
