If you use the one that the other guys that have redone their wiring use it should work. I picked mine up at advance auto parts. EL13 is the model number any auto parts store should have them.
They use them for Trailer light relays so should be in that section. Probably should get a new fuse box also if you are going to get into wiring Chacal has those I think they are like $14.

Thanks a bunch, I'll take a ride down and see what I can find. Would this relay be suitable for led lights though? I'm definitely going to need a new fuse box too, the previous owner though splicing together the 20A main was a better idea than getting a new fuse. Sweet jeebus.

Ya thats what most guys use for LED's thats what i was going to use for LED's They may have a Fuse box there too. I'm not sure on exactly what to get for a Fuse Box though.
It would be best to upgrade to a Blade fuse box.

Bike would look awesome with the stock paint scheme on the tank, aluminum sidecovers, and a street tracker seat / tail.

Just went down to my local autozone and they didn't have a relay that I could use. I'll keep looking though.

As far as the looks are concerned, I'm going to keep everything very dark, with flat black texture paint, and some carbon fiber vinyl accents. I'll keep everyone updated though. I don't want to spend too much time on my tank right now however because it's dented pretty bad and I don't feel like wasting my efforts on it.

Progress picture:

This is the diagram for an EL13 relay, would this allow me to use the previously mentioned led lights as both stop lights and turn signals or am I missing something?

After staring at my wiring diagram for a while i think you would have to splice the Blue and Yellow wires that currently goto your tail light and split them. Then connect those wires into the DarkGreen wire on the right side rear blinker. and the Chocolate wire on the left side rear blinker.
Not 100% but thats what i would try/guess if some one has done this before please let us know.
Boston do you have a wiring diagram for your bike? I took the colors out of my clymer book they will match up with the drawings in the back.

I don't have a book on it yet. I've literally had this bike in my possession for 5 days, and it's only been in my basement for 2. This is a very 'dive right in' project for me. I just don't want to let it fall to the wayside.

You should definately get one ordered i got mine off ebay brand new for $30 shipped. Chacal has them too for a pretty good price and his deliver fast.

I knew I saw the link somewhere on here before this guy uploaded them.

Look at the back diagram of the bike and you will see the colors and wires im talking about.

Thanks a ton! Since it was two images, I spliced them together to make it easier to read. Here it is for whoever needs it.

yeah it would...now we're talking!

carbon fiber vinyl on the side covers(if I end up using them)

Sadly, it looks much better in person. It looks really bright here, when in actuality, it matches the dark color scheme perfectly.

Side covers are nice

Thanks, I F'd one of the corners a bit and spent an extra 20 minutes fixing it only to find that the airbox hides it perfectly. d'oh!

That looks awesome man! I love the carbon fiber look. It will go good with the rest keep up the good work.
