Am i supposed to get continuity between my positive leads on my lights and the grounds to chassis when testing with a voltometer? I was under the assumption that they shouldn't have any. I have a bates style headlight from Mikes with Blue, White and Green wires. If you open the bucket, it has blue and white going to the bulb, and the green goes to the back of it on the brass part, so im assuming its ground. If i check the between either positive, and anywhere on my frame, I have continuity. Same thing with my tail light (a sparto replica from lowbrow). In the process of chasing down electrical gremlins, and want to make sure I get it all right before I button it up and heatshrink and solder my connections.
I've attached the wiring diagram I made for my bike and am following.
