Its really simple if you only use one color of wire :}}.
If you want to start with a bare bike with no wiring on it you can always
revert to any'?' European auto manual for color codes, most of the terminal
numbers are standard, I used a Volvo manual to work on the Eldorado, the PO
put a master switch in one of the tool boxes and had by-pasted the neutral
switch, and put a diode from the battery to the coil, through the starter
circuit, then dummy lights on the wheels that went round and round, The guy
must have worked in a circus. And he must have been color blind, I think he
must have used cheap red wire for everything, but with age it turned pink.
BTW- never did have gonad's to try those lights:}
