Okay I got everything electrical besides my blinkers working, ive found the wires for them but they dont seem to work, even when I press the indicator button it wont flash up on my dash, I havent found the relay yet, im presuming its under the tank, any help or a guide of were to start would be great, im going to get a test lamp and start poking wires today to see if there is power,

Start with the basics. Are the bulbs all good?

If not, check the wiring, then the flasher can

yes they are led, I worked out the problem/problems, #1 problem is dodgy previous owner, he had used speaker wire and wired all 4 blinkers off the front wires, with no tape so in 3 spots wires were touching causing them not to work, after sorting that, the LED relay the previous owner had installed had died, so I installed the one I got with the blinkers and blinking left worked but right didnt, so I pulled apart the actual blinker assembly on the handlebars and one wire was pulled out, so problem solved I can now indicate, cheers for the help guys
