I have a Mikexs left side handle bar switch that I'm using. I've tested all the wires for continuity, and also just used jumpers to a battery and a bulb, and also to flasher relay to see what works and what doesn't. There are 11 wires coming in/out of the switch housing. I'm not connecting to a factory harness. When I hook up everything in the combinations of wires that I found to work for head/tail lights, turn signals, etc, I'm left over with 2 unused wires. One wire is Yellow with Red stripe, and is connected to the turn signal switch plate in the control housing. The other is thicker gauge bright or lime green wire that is connected to the headlight high/low beam switch. Since not having them connected doesn't seem to affect anything, can I just cut them off? Any ideas of what these wires were for on the original bikes?
