After you are done with all the parts, install the cases and the batteries to the bike, i used zip ties. Once all the cases are on you can wire it up.

The first step it too attach the light cases, i drilled holes about the size of the fork and down tubes and attached them with zip ties.

next attach the switch and solder 3 wires to the switch which will control the direction of the turn indicators.

Lastly solder it all together, remembering which size goes to which switch, i used a little piece of tape to remind me.

After all the wires are soldered, do a battery check to see if everything works, if not check your connections. Once that is done you can attach the batteries and hook that up with the rest of the system.

This step takes about 2 hours. Be prepared and it also makes your bike unoperational for that period.

good design.... i like it but the wires need to be "tightened" up a bit so they dont hang out while going down the road... I cringe @ thinking about doing all that work then having some issue cuz a wire got yanked.
