look on bike bandit for the stock rear signals. it might have a diagram

www.bikebandit.com.

or bigrig might be on later to help being he has an older model bike and knows it like his dirty hand. no telling where they both have been.

thats about all your going to get off of bb. on my 06 it has 3 wires coming off the light socket itself, 2 black and one red on one side and 2 black and one yellow on the other, i tied the two blacks togather and went to the black wire on the plug in and the other to the colored wire on the same plug. you should be able to determin what set of wires is going where. may have to remove the tail section. im not familier with your year bike though. post back what you find and where your at with it. good luck

Get a multi meter, volt mete, and check for voltage when you activate the brake, and when you have the ignition on. Now you know what wire does what.

Tomorrow at 5:30 at Lakewood high is the first day of practice. I try to make as many practices as I can and go to all the games. Last year was my sons first year and it was fun as hell.
