The only switches Ill have is the rear brake light switch, an on off switch for the headlight and the ignition switch. No handlebar switches, and you are correct sir, I'm building a '76 bobber with points. Retiredgentleman, when the ignition switch is in the position it would be in when the bike is running should all wires be hot? aside from the main power wire of course which I'm assuming is the red wire.
