Little info on this bike.
Its an 85 K100RT. The original owner dropped the bike and destroyed the front fairing, and so now theres a cafe racer-esque front fairing, with no blinkers in the front. Because of this, the blinkers are no longer working (they were cut, and do not have front blinkers). I took off the cluser/fairing and found 2 sets of 3 cables that are cut, which i guess are the turn signals. What is the best way to tackle this? I have a spare set of cheap blinkers to test with that work, but I can't get them to work. Do all 4 blinkers need to be connected to create a complete circuit, or is there 2 separate loops for each blinker?
Also seems when the front brake lever is engaged, the brake light doesn't light up. But this will be next on the list!
Here is what the bike looks like currently.
