Default Wiring in turn/brake/running lights

I recently picked up a bobber that has no turn signals. It currently has a brake & running light. However I can't ride my bike on base without having rear turn signals atleast. So I purchased a z-flex brakelight "all in one"
http://www.radiantz.com/Turns-and-Br.../470x-xxxx.htm

Comes with a dual element circuit as well as purchased a load resistor with it. What I don't know is what else am I going to need to use this? I need to pickup some sleek push button switches, that should be it? Just wire those up to the lights and work no problem?

im no electrical wiz but have some experience. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your service.

Are the connections for the turn signals still in the wiring harness? If so then all you will need is :

If the cut the harness you will have to fabricate a new one.

Appreciate the support.

no, none of the connectors are there, as far as I can tell the harness has been tucked into the frame.

I figured of using these simple momentary switches

Run wires from those to the dual element?

Those wires need to go to the TSSM or the TSM and the wiring needs to come from the TSM or TSSM to the light.

That or create a whole new flasher harness. I would fish the wires out if you can find them, and add a TSM.

I was thinking I could use load resistors in place of a TSM
