Wiring

Looked around and didn't see anything on this or a better place to put it.

I remember once when talking with the mechanic that he said something about how everything is powered by a ground and people have messed things up when trying to wire stuff in.

Looking to add a few LED accents and curious on just how the wiring is for this.

Everything other thing I've done is power and ground... that gonna be the same on my bike?

It's the EHC thing....
Back in the day there was a thing as positive ground,I thint thats where they got it from...

Soooo does that mean that it can be wired up regular? Or can I not wire up these lights?

I wired mine straight to the battery with +and- ,but put a switch in for on off function.

That's route #2 I had planned on doing... #1 was to tap into the key wiring so they came on with the rest of the bike. However that might run into issues with the law while riding.

Do you have a pic of your switch mounting?

I have been taught that electrons actually move from the negative side to the positive.
Don't get hung up on this as it is not important when wiring stuff.
If you run it directly to the battery you will have the least chance of screwing anything up.

Electron & Neautron flow is no problem! Watch out for the homons, they will blow the fuses!

Wiring shouldn't be a problem. It'd be trick if ya wired 'em into the high beam switch and through a strobe relay......
