Id be thinking 10 amp should be fine mate, but im no leccy.

 

[xLOCOx]

thanks man had a bit of a hunch 10amp should be good

 

[xLOCOx]

hopefully get the headlight tomoz

running a 55 watt headlight globe will draw just under 5 amps, so that wire will be fine.
run a 7.5 amp fuse before the switch too.

 

[xLOCOx]

ok sweet guess what turned up

now i just gotta put dhz sticker on :laughing-smiley-002
ok gonna order a tail light and go to super crap auto and get some 10amp wire and 7.5 amp fuse

 

[xLOCOx]

so.... i need a tad help with the negative side of things

can finish it off in paint cheers

your headlight has a white and blue, one is for low, other is high beam
and the brown is for the parker, this will also need to run to your tail light as a rear parker.
and the greens run to earth (clean bare metal) on the frame


and looking at your diagram,
all that is needed is a couple of earths, one for the tail light, other for the horn

 

[xLOCOx]

how about now?

 

[my67xr]

yeah that looks ok.
the parker light in the headlight, will only come on when the low beam is on
your headlight switch most likely only has on/off, and hi/low beam anyway

 

[xLOCOx]

i think i screwed it^^
lol
i think thats better maybe

 

[my67xr]

the stop/tail light you buy should have 3 wires going to it.
1 for tail light,
1 for stop light,
and the other wire is to earth.

 

[xLOCOx]

just ordered it http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/150964424511?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
ill make my own mount for it and the number plate

 

[xLOCOx]

heres the tail light and all off the stuff together

 

[xLOCOx]

the bike got an injury while i was working on her and she broke a plastic clean off damnit more money in to this project ahhaahah so much for saving for a car hahaha.
well the rear brake switch is a to fine of thread which sucks ill take it in to a local kwaka shop they might have what want
im most likely gonna have to make a mount for the tail light might use some aluminium laying about

 

[xLOCOx]

ok UPDATE made a mount for the tail light and got my horn switch working because the original one fried so made up a ne spring for the button, ill do some more work tomorrow

 

[xLOCOx]

ok then this damn switch is doing my head in, can some one give me a hand?


the one ^^ above the switch has white brown and blue to the switch

as for this one you can see that the grey, orange and light blue dont have insulated ends on them as they are for the indicators........................ i was also thinking if i dont want to have running lights all the time i could use the indicator switch?

 

[zwebx]

Yeah you can just use the indicator switch, but make sure that the two outputs of the 3 way switch is wired to the headlight

i would pull out your multimeter for finding what colours/what switch

 

[xLOCOx]

cheers mate gonna do some of that stuff tomorow arvey might take some pics aswell

Watching this thread very closely. I have a atomik reign Bigfoot 140 that I want to do the same with. We don't have rec rego here in NSW , but id like to make the tracks safer for myself and other riders by allowing them to see if I am turning/braking. I've taken my lhs cover off, but can't see any spare wires at all lol. However when I was loctiting my bike, I noticed I do have a wire plug spare under the seat. Hopefully that's what its for...
