Gotta agree Raf...........your problems would be better solved in the manner you wish....however
as with any fault finding issues.........electrical or mechanical..............break it down to individual basics and proceed one step at a time .
The top pic  I believe shows the wiring from the main loom to connect to the fuel gauge sensor mounted in the tunnel of the fuel tank.
I don t trust colors on pics as they may be faded cabling or washed out by a flash or not well lit . The location on the main loom seems to indicate the purpose of the cables.
The wiring within the main loom should be as per schematic but I would nt trust cabling colors from auxillary item.such as the flasher can or switcblocks as they may be aftermarket.
I ll need to see a pic of your flasher canister to see if you have the original . If you wish to restore the self cancelling function you will need this one ........if not.........you can manually cancel using other flasher cans.
Do you have a wiring schematic ?
To save us guessing.....show a more detailed pic and describe the particular section/part and what you need to know.
Is the wiring from the left switchblock missing wiring connector blocks or is it plugged in ? What state are the indicators in ?.............are you using the original filament globes or installing LEDS ?

Today I heard my starter engage for the first time ever on one of my xs's. I couldn't be happier. Well I could:/

I've had quite a few connectors removed from my 79 wiring loom. The whole things a dogs breakfast.

My biggest issue is left hand switch block and indicators in general. The bloody self canceling aspect has thrown a spanner in the works. Does anyone here reside bayside in Brisbane. Could really do with a look over a bike and/or the gentle guiding hand of a electrical wizard. (Not meant to sound quite so gay!!)

Going crazy having nothing but 400cc death traps to ride around!

Here's some pics for you disapproval:)

Our father who art online
Hallowed be thy xs
Who will come
To get my xs done
In Brisbane as it is (riding) heaven
Give me this day my daily ride
And forgive all my sins
As I forgive the dickhead that cut the plugs off my wiring loom
Lead me to not burn down my bike
But deliver me an angel (with above mentioned connectors)
For my xs has the look, the power and the torque
Now and forever
AMEN
