I stupidly managed to break the wires right at the plug that plugs into kickstand.  I have read other posts where I can solder the two wires together to bypass.  But there are three wires: black, green and greenwhite.  I am guessing the black is a ground so I ought solder other two?  Secondly, where can I find a replacement plug?  I am sure it will be mangled beyond recognition by the time I get it out.

Thanks,

Just leave the plug, trim the wires on it to the base and then remove the wiring that goes to it from the harness.
Its what I did. I have a '99 750.
It only took one time of riding off with my stand still down to teach me to put it up, lol!

No luck but I did like the unplug and play aspect of it.  Is there a part# for this item?  I could not find it in parts catalog.

Found it, my mistake.

I ended up jumping 2-3 and taped it up.  I am sure I can live with it.

When mine broke, I "fixed" using this method here.

If I remember correctly to just bypass, you are right, green to green/white. But that said I wouldn't trust it and I would connect the wires temporarily and test starting it up.
