Default Need wiring help
Hey all, got myself into a pickle here with some wiring.
I'm re-wiring my signal lights due to changing my handlebars and my old signals were in rough shape. All the wires were spliced before by someone else and wanted to fix them. So stupid *** me I didn't make note of some of the wires and where they go. I've got three wires that I have no idea what they are or where they go.


I've got a white with a purple line on it. White with a brown line on it and a all black. I've got a service manual and still can't seem to figure this out.
I'm assuming that purple is for the left signal, brown is for the right. The black, no idea.


If anyone can help me out that would be ****ing amazing.

The white/violet is the left turn signal input to the TSS. The white/brown is the right turn signal to the TSS. Black is ground.

clutch switch is required in Europe, I believe.
Wiring is left unconnected in the states.
