Wiring Turn Signals

The wiring in my 1973 Tiger 750 is the last thing that needs to be sorted out before I start working on cosmetics. Right now it's a complete mess. I have the remnants of multiple wiring harnesses and a bunch of extra wires to nowhere. It looks like the PO just kept adding to it rather than fixing or replacing whet was already there.

I'm not going to be able to really dive in for a couple months and sort it all out...I just don't have the time right now. In the meantime I want to make the Burbank police happy and get some working directionals. I need a temporary fix until I can replace everything with a single new harness. I'd like to know if anyone knows if there's a guide or diagram anywhere that shows how to wire them while bypassing the wiring that's there already. In other words what needs to connect to what?

Thanks.

Hot from battery or hot side of coil (if you want the signals to not work when the ignition is off) to the flasher box.
From flasher to a splitter near the front of the tank. Stock color code is white.
From splitter to white yellow wires from switch housings.
Green white on one side and green red on the other side are the leads to the turn signals, left switch for left signal, right switch....you get it.
Make sure that the signals are grounded with a ground wire.
An hour and a six pack and Bob's yer uncle.
Don't ask how I know this, because none of my old Triumphs, save one, had or has turn signals.

Jon,

Send me a PM with your email address, and I'll send you a simple diagram.

Pete
