Hey guys, I have a BT-80 electric start bike that I'm currently repairing (nasty spill, shot wheels, busted carb, broken arm, the whole 9 yards) and upgrading, and I'm not sure how to do some wiring. I ordered a headlight, turn signals and flasher relay, brake/tail light, horn, and switch for all over the above (the left side control on motorcycles: horn/turn signal buttons, hi/lo beam toggle), and I was wondering if I hook all that up straight to the battery with a switch between to kill the lights when I'm not riding, or if I need to hook it up to the voltage regulator or something like that. That battery is just a small, 12v 7ah moped/motorcycle battery, and the headlight has an H4 35W bulb (which I would like to replace with a LED bulb if I can).
My other issue is actually triggering the brake light, I can't seem to find any switches for mechanical brakes, everything seems to be for hydraulic brakes. I thought about putting a button in each brake lever (normally closed, so as soon as the lever is squeezed even slightly the circuit opens and turns the brake light on), but there wasn't enough room for a button. Any ideas?
