Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how to get a simple wiring diagram for a vw trike that includes relays for indicators, lights and braking system. Ive looked around but cant see what im looking at if you know what i mean, or is there a book for dummies like me.

if your using bike switch gear then you dont have to run a relay for the headlight, most bikes dont
and for the indicators, simplest route is a 2 pin electronic unit so it doesnt matter if you mix bulbs and LED's etc
switched live feed from your fusebox to the relay, then from there to the indicator switch, the left and right feeds out from the switch will light the bulbs, simples

i created a very small, neat loom that works perfectly, has brand new wire and plug connectors, fuse board and best bit, cos i spent 4 nights working it out and soldering it all together, i know every last bit of it.
