Signals

Thanks you guys I'll give it a try tomorrow.
I guess the easiest would be to run some wire up to the front left signal and run wire up to the right signal and then hook them up :)

that sounds like a bad idea.
u could run your bike over to a place that wires trailers to trucks he could probe (a little gismo that pierces the rubber and makes contact with the wire inside of the rubber) the wires and mark them for u then u could just splice them or buy the meter an probe the wires yourself.
i would use a probe however u could shave a little piece of rubber off of each wire and stagger the cuts. of coarse check them after each shaved wire u may get lucky and get the right ones after a couple.
of coarse if u waved $30 in front he might wire them up for u.:D
 
I'm in Canada not to safe to ride a bike now:)
But you guys gave me some good tips and I just came out now to try to do, if not I might need to pay some one to do it, but It's not the money I just like to try to be a little more hands on with my bike and learn.
Me being on this site you guys have all ready taught me many things:)
 
I'm so excited! I went out and bought a smart test light and went to the end of plug and tested for my signals. When the light flashed, I knew it was for my signals:)
So this is what I got. Red to white is for the right turning signal.
Blue to Red is for the left turning signal.
Orange to brown are the running lights.
Yellow is for brake.
Blue to green seems dead - will that be my ground? For the black wire for my signals?

looks like u r almost there.
next attach the test light clamp to positive bat and the probe to the wire u think is ground. if it is ground it will light up.:)
 
Ok I just did it positive to battery and it light up green so does that mean it's ground?
All signals and running lights and brake light was orange. But negative black I just hooked on frame.
But now I just went to double check everything again and now my signals does not even come on, now not even my front so I thought perhaps I blew a fuse and checked and everything looks good, I was so close:(
Now what went wrong?
 
i am not sure but u more than likely blew a fuse. u can take the tester hook the clamp to bat ground turn every thing on then test each each fuse on one side then the other side. if the test light lights up on one side and not the other side then that fuse is bad and will need to be replaced.
if u find a bad fuse and replace u will more than likely will have it back. and then we will try to figure out a ground.


edit i am going home.
 
I'm excited to say I did it:) thanks you guys.
And thanks TURBO200R4 FOR helping step by step, I think if I can do this anyone can.
I even bought better fog lights and hooked them up just followed so that was easy they are so bright.

i am glad it worked out for u. it was nice to work with some one that listens to u.:thumbsup::)
 
Thanks, I'm so brave now I bought a heater that hooks up to 240 Volts for 5,000 W to heat up my garage :)
The plug in heaters just doesn't warm up the garage enough in winter.
So this should be nice.
 
240 volts should warm u up real good.:rolleyes:
my advice is to let a professional do it.
i was working with 240 i was finished every thing good and i was putting the cover on the box with my fingers and it shorted out and blew a hole thru the plate like a cutting torch.
a friend of mine worked on some 240 so he decided to use a broom handle to turn on the switch. when he flipped the switch the electric came down the broom handle and burn his beard off.:roll::roll::roll:
