This excellent piece is courtesy of VRCC member RP#62.  RP explains as follows:

You're going to give me a big head. This kind of started as a whim. I used to draw aircraft wiring diagrams for a living. Every time I look at the ones in the Honda manual, it makes me cringe. Always struck me as what the graphics contractor did to satisfy the requirement to have a wiring diagram - not what you'd use to actually troubleshoot a problem. So...I re drew them pretty much the way aircraft ones are done (took some liberties with the symbols). Chet gave me some pointers on switches and AlbJim had me do the Interstate (never would have guessed how different they are) and we won't even get into bulbs.
Anyway, print them out put 'em in your bike. Hopefully they may help you on the side of the road one day and if you get 'em dirty you can make more. If you see anything you know to be different than shown, let mw know and I'll fix it.
