[QUOTE="macvette, post: 14976, member: 262"] Hi Thank you all for the replies. My bike came with a really horrble harness but it worked properly. The bike was negative earth and the dip switch was wired through a changeover relay to avoid having the main headlight supply through the dip switch and I'm going to repeat this. I'm wiring up 6V negative earth and using a solid state regulator housed in the original (brass ) regulator housing. The wiring diagram in Vincent motorcycles shows the brake light switch being supplied from the -ve side of the horn whilst the horn is supplied from from the -ve side of the ammeter.
