Been awhile since i been on here, and looking for help with my blinkers.
The previous owner of my bike had completely stripped the wiring for the bikes blinkers, and meter bracket. The owner was heavily influenced by chopper culture in the 70s and had removed as much as possible, and this included the installation of a toggle switch ignition switch with kick only. Upon installation of my new wiring harness, and my fondness of the minimalistic ignition toggle switch, i did the same with my new harness. However, im having difficulties getting my blinker to flash. I can get constant power, but nothing else. I noticed on the wiring diagram that there was a 'flasher pilot' that was connected to the blinker circuit. Not sure what a flasher pilot is, but is it needed to make the blinker flash? Wiring is completely new to me and im kind of winging it. Hope this makes sense and wondering if anyone can help. Thanks.
