I just finally finished mounting these old Bates saddlebags. As far as I could tell, there is no conventional way to mount saddlebags on a '77 750F. Apparently that was not the intent in the bikes design, understandably. However, with gas prices I need it to be a little more utility. I cobbled together some aluminum flat stock and stainless bolts and came up with something I think will work. The lights on the bags are dual filament and I intend to use them as turn signals (after having to remove the stock lights). I would also like for the lights to function as "running lights". Does anyone have any suggestions about how to wire this way? I thought maybe just spice into the existing tail light wire. Thanks for any help.
-- ps -electrical wiring is far from my specialty.
