Just another grumpy old hack.
I am sure this has probably been covered a million times but I can't seem to find it using the search or tech section. Is it neccesary to use automotive type relays if you are making your own wiring harness or are the bar switches rated for enough amps for a particular given circuit i.e headlight, ignition (kill switch), turn signals and the likes? The bike I picked up as a basket case had no wiring what so ever which is not a problem I do wiring as part of my daily job but I have nothing to base my assumptions on. I am using KZ400 switches as I got them for a very good price (FREE). I may end up using some automotive type relays just for safety but was wondering if they are really needed.
