I am assuming your bike is a battery model .. soooo the last time i done this i fitted a 12v reg ran a wire from the stator wire to the reg then out to the loom at the junction box were i joined all the lighting wires and changed bulbs to 12v the brake switch to an AC one and its still working now ...... Hope this helps ...Bill

Sorry bud off the top of me head no .... i remember doing the "process of elimination method" i.e touched the live with each wire then two etc until i had got each working ,seem to remember also having to disconnect the horn and joining the wires together to complete a circuit as the were originally on the "dc" circuit ... and it doesn't take to long to work it out either bud .... Hope this helps you ...Bill
