Jurassic*scooter Sun May 24, 2009 8:00 pm

I have a barn fresh trike that has been stripped (before I got it) down to nothing. I was wondering if anyone has a simple wiring diagram on what goes where? I need head lights, tailights, brake, blinker, horn and Im sure im missing a few things. Got any idea's or is their a place I can go to figure out the wiring? Thanks, Steve

and if you plan on running a internal regulated alternator just change it up a little.







how to bypass the generator regulator if you switch to a alternator with a internal regulator later.

i like to use a universal marine fuse block from Ebay and hook the main power up to it and then run stuff off of it.

Also the easiest way to approach it is one circuit at a time. Some people get intimidated looking at everything together. Doing one circuit at a time makes it easy, then all of a sudden it is done.

Do you have any suggestions on where the best place to put the fuse box? I considered near the engine compartment just so I could have access to it if I went down on the road. Its small, holds 6 circuits and is about 4" X 2". I'm kinda holding back on putting it up front near the instrument panel because of road funk...What do ya think???
