I have a 1985 k100 LT.  I've completely disassembly bike for "i don't know what" a few years ago and now Im putting back together. Electrical is definitely beyond me... could anyone give me a hint where and how should I connect this 3 connectors from my fuse box? I couldn't find anything to connect them... (No worries, I will have more dumb questions soon!)
rookie mistake...  Screen10

Don't let it get too far beyond you. The engine is managed by electricity.  Laughing  Anyway, the white plug would connect up an anti-theft alarm if you had one. The black plug could connect up a siren, emergency lights, driving lights, and other electrical accessories if you wanted them. The rectangular plug might be for enabling four-way flashing from turn indicators.

Before assembly, verify electrical plugs aren't corroded then spray them with DeoxIT D5—a high-quality electric contact cleaner. It can sometimes be found where electronic musical instrument sales are a specialty, at some automotive parts dealers, or online.

Not everything that you were taught at school is true; things like 'this subject isn't for the likes of you'.

Anybody who can connect a hosepipe up and turn on a tap is capable of beginning to understand electricity. Just stay away from the mains for the time being  Smile.

What Laitch says. The single connector with a brown wire is an earth for the black accessories plug. TL:DR - you don't need any of them.
