I chickened out on wiring my own harness from total scratch and bought the already-prepared setup for my 82 xs650 off Lowbrow Customs.
I'm at the point now where I need to wire the harnesses to the ignition switch. Here are the instructions from Lowbrow on how this should work:
"2) Red wire) Located on the ignition harness and should be connected to the switched (+) side of the ignition switch.
4) Brown wire) Located on the charging harness and should be connected to the switched (+) side of the ignition switch. This wire should be on the same terminal as the red wire from the ignition harness."
I've attached pics of my ignition switch. It has two wires with spade connectors (one male, one female), and two wires cut off. What gives? Is it really as simple as putting spades on each of these wires and plugging them into the switch? I'm at a loss here.
