    Google Easy Rider old teck tips, they had some simple schematics.
    If so one chimes in with a schematic, bump me wednesday and Ill dig mines out, but you know the direction you want to go now.

      Easyriders Simplified Wiring Diagram

      And for some chop wiring photos and an article by Street Chopper;
      Wiring Your Chopper | Get Wired | Vintage Tech
      All you wanted to know about wiring your chopper but were too SHOCKED to ask!

      Look here: https://www.streetchopperweb.com/wir...d-vintage-tech

      "Wiring your chopper is not hard. Take a simplified diagram and some basic tools and you're in business. In this story the simplified diagram has been provided, all you have to provide is the bike and some wire cutters, crimpers, electrical tape, wire lugs, screwdriver, and a soldering gun....Inspect all wiring when completed, looking for connections that were not made. Trace all wiring making sure each is hooked up where it belongs. All that remains now is to fire it up and enjoy the weekly or daily ride."

      This sentence bothered me and I had to comment on it:
      ..."Let's say you have a two headlight system where one acts as the low beam and the other as the high beam. Both should have a good ground wire. Connect ground wires to the front end which serves as a good ground"...
      Don't ground your lights to the front fork, unless you have a jumper ground wire from the fork to the frame or battery negative terminal, otherwise the ground will be through the neck bearings.

      Might be a bit more than you need with your mag...Remember to make your own wiring diagram, for future reference, and to share on ChopCult...
