    I could have sworn I had read that it was a 2 pin system and there was a 3rd cable that was just a ground. Ill have to look into what you said and see if i can make it work. otherwise ill get a 3 pin flasher.

    Another interesting wiring question: So i got a 2 prong led flasher with a ground. I plugged the 2 wire in and the ground to the green wiring cable. The flasher work and turn on/off but the flasher relay clicks constantly like the flashers are on? Any idea of what can be going on here? seems...

    Good to know, that will be a problem to deal with later. Right now I just need to get this all back together. It finally feels like I'm getting there

    Oh I didnt think of behind the headlight, I'm gonna look into this. I'm planning on using a brat style seat so unfortunetly wont have a hump to hide it. Will show pics hopefully by end of the week of the spot!

    I got some KN filter oil just to be safe. What are thoughts on battery relocation spot? I have a tray for the electronics but the battery wont fit in it. Is under the swing arm a good spot or is there someway to put it under the tank?
