    The gray wire is for the coil line[hook it to your coil and when you want to kill it all turn it to off post.]\ The orange wire is power wire for your turn signal and the start button as well as the run button, Red/Blk wire is for you to start the motor with if you want to use[but you will need a HD relay or Briggs stratton solenoid to work], you should have a brown/white wire for you right turn signal.
    I hope this helps, I don't have the wiring diagram in front of me, but I have done alot of these. But at times the ole mind slips now and then.

    Steve,
    If you do a googgle on HD wiring diagrams and put the year you are looking for, it may bring up some more for you.

    hi, thanks for taking the time to help me with the wiring problem, i am with you on the wires up to the point where you say i should have a brown/white wire for right turn signal, because i have got left two white with black trace, and a red with yellow trace, not sure what these are for,
    i have already tried looking at the hd diagrams but because i do not know the year of my switches its impossible to find the correct one out of hundreds , i purchased them from auto jumble,i thought the white with black trace wires may have been an earth wire but not certain,
    the wires that come from the switchgear end in an orange six pin plug,although i have cut that off now, any more ideas would be gratefully tried, regards to all , steve.

    Steve,
    the wiring I use is an aftermarket item and has no plug on the end, but I will see If I can find my copy of the diagram and send to you on here,
    The one I use is for a '84 HD and newer.
    Are you trying to wire both sides of the controls or ?[left and right side]

    STEVE,
    HERE IS WHAT I HAVE,
    LEFT SIDE:Left Turn Switch-----White/Violet [l-turn],
    Orange wire Power,
    Horn button, Orange wire hot,
    yellow/black, goes to the horn button
    Headlight switch-Blue wire power,
    White wire -Hi Beam,
    Yellow wire-Lo beam,

    Right controls,
    off-Runn-Grey wire[goes to your coil on the positive side]
    White/Black-Power,
    Start-Black/Red wire
    Right Turn signal-White brown
    Orange power to that switch.
    There is a Red/Yellow wire that is for the front brake switch that you can hook up to your rear brake light if you want to use it, if you do so, the Orange wire is powder for that button too.
    Hope this helps,

    Hi, thanks for the info on the hd switch wiring i at long last got the engine fired up and running with your help, thank you, also found that the grey wire had broken inside the insulation, so a drop of solder and job done, next is the lights so should be on the road by easter hopefully,
    thanks again and regards from steve, uk.

    Steve,
    Glad I was able to help, hooking up the lites is easy, try hooking up fog lites to the high beam will do wonders too.
    Let us see your trike when you get a change too show them.
