MK 1 LeMans - where does everything go

I am restoring a MK1 LeMans with plenty of upgrades.

The owner inherited it a bit of a state of neglect and the victim of a house fire.

He striped the bike about four plus years ago and then at the end of last year asked if I would take over. I am primarily a Big Zed man but have worked on various Laverdas and BMWs as well as 70’ & 80s Jap bikes.

I have stripped an rebuild the engine, gearbox, final drive etc and that is all hunky dory but I am now struggling with any idea of where the rest goes eg coils etc I will be totally rewiring using a more logical system, as I have always done successfully with the crazy wiring on Laverdas etc more like seventies Japanese style electrics.

Can anyone on here help with some detailed photos of where stuff should go on a MK1 LeMans?
