Well made good progress today. I watched an YouTube and identified the colors of the wires to the unused OEM amber front turn signal lights.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz0ChuBL0Lw&t=260s

This guy also said the white plug I asked about was hot all the time. SO, I used that to power the horn. I removed the positive wire from the plug and soldered my horn power lead to it. So getting the horn working was pretty easy. I mounted the horn under the front rack. I will post a picture of that location later.

What he did was much more complex and involved. I would note that I was trained in electronics in 1965 in the USCG, was a Field Engineer at NCR in the 70's and retired as a network design engineer at BofA/EDS. This kind of things is more or less in my wheel house.

Now knowing the left and right turn indicators use the light blue and orange wires, and from a cable by the master cylinder with a blank plug in it. Testing show that these wirers went to the front turn indicators and the left/right turn arrows in the instrument cluster. So I have the front turn indicators and the arrows wired to my handle bar switch. I have not cut any factory wires so far

I picked up a mini Add-A-Circuit to pull the turn signals power from the fuse panel.

Relays to do the 4 way flashers will be here tomorrow. I will have to use two(parallel them) as I had ordered SPDT relays.

Cost so far, with not much more to buy.

$7.63   License plate lights
$7.63   Relays for 4 way flashers
$10.90   LED rear lights
$27.26   Horn, handle bar sw, and blinker relay
$8.34   Add-A-Circuit
$5.00   Miscellaneous supplies
$66.76   Total

OK, finished the lighting project except of the license plate lights that arrive tomorrow. Lights are built into the license plate bolts.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077Z6WQ6Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I was able to put pins in the dummy plug for turn signal lights above the left rear wheel and use Kawasaki wiring to the rear. I installed the pop in RED LEDs. Note: I never cut an OEM wire to do this project.

To review: I now have turn indicators with OEM amber lights on the front and pop in red in the rear. 4 way flashers and a horn.

I think this is the greatest upgrade I've done to my machine, it maybe just a simple little fix but this is going to save me so much time and frustration.

I don't know about other machines but to reach these nipples because I don't have a 90° nipple on the end of my grease gun took forever. I had to pull my rear tires, rotor rock guard and unbolt the rotor to move them out of the way enough to grease all 4 of these guys.

Worth all the bullshit today.

Finally got around to finding and reinstalling my cargo net I took it off 5 years ago and for the life of me I can't remember why...

2nd Mod of 3
After installing the mirrors previous reply. I purchased from Amazon Mictuning RGB Rock lights. I viewed several Youtube videos and found my best route for wiring. The 2 front wires run down the left side opposite the exhaust pipe on the right. After many trials and relocations of the rear lights I settled for low and forward of rear tires. They are facing outward and not down that may have to change as I think about many life choices and what I should've done VS what I did. I may fab a bracket to move up and over the exhaust. Next mod will be the cargo box.

So today I installed the wired winch remote, and yes the in/out colors were revised to the Cforce. I installed the phone holder for my smart phone with Gaia GPS nav app. I installed two storage boxes. Do not think much of the latches on these cheap boxes, so put a bungee cord over them. They are bolted down to fender washers below the Cforce quick release receptacles holes.

Got my flag mount that I made installed. I found that the back metal bar under the plastic rear storage had two nuts welded to the back side and two of the bottom. My mount is attached using all four points. I am going to stack two 1 gallon Rotopax gas cans on the area between the boxes, seat and flag.

Got my 3018-8 24g Dr.Pulley sliding roller weights today!

Slapped them into my variator and away we go.

These plus having my secondary clutch set at B2 should be lots of fun.

Has anyone else use these in their machines long term?

Here's an explanation of how they work from the Dr.Pulley website:

Installed some foam grips over the OEM hand grips. I have these on my Can-Am Spyder 3 wheel motorcycle also. They cut down vibration into your hands and I have large hands, so a fatter grip is good.

Yesterday I took the Cforce 600 touring on it's first real ride to Reiter Hills ORV park in Gold Bar, Wa. Area in the center of the map was tight ATV 50" or less trails.
