Which CB450 diagram do I use?

I really need a wiring diagram for a 1971 cb450,but there are two on this site to choose from. One for the five speed and one marked (glenns). Which one applies. My cb has been messed with so much I can't really tell which one is correct based on the wire colors. Also the colored diagram (five speed) shows the black/white wire running from the coils to the dimmer switch, but I think they meant the off/on/off switch. Then it runs to the neutral indicator light then to neutral switch and then grounded. If this were accurate there would be no power to the coils. What is going on here?? So confused. Thanks for any help.

A big problem I had was the wires coming from my stator didn't match any diagram. It turns out that there was two sets of splices in stator wires. It became evident what the previous owner was like when I pulled the sprocket cover off and found a pound of RTV and wire splices. I think I have it straight now, but I still have a ton of other "previous owner" issues. It's a fun project though.
